dove-stick respect for the elderly dove-stick,then compares and distinguishes the identity of the tomb owners with the loyal and filial ethics image and the officials in the Han Dynasty,in order to explore its value and function to modern society and enrich the research content of social thought in the Han Dynasty.The full text is divided into five parts.The paper defines the related concepts of loyalty and filial piety,sorts out the discovery of loyalty and filial ethics images in the underground tombs such as stone relief tombs,mural tombs,stone inner and outer coffins,portrait brick tombs,and the aboveground tombs such as stone side tower and ancestral hall.Then it briefly introduces the research objects,research methods and research meanings.By comprehensively inspecting the research status of domestic and foreign scholars,this chapter summarizes the historical value of the image of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty and its positive significance for contemporary social development.The thesis also discusses the classification and characteristics of the loyalty and filial ethics images in the Han Dynasty.The loyalty and filial ethics images are divided into two categories: filial ethics images and loyal ethics images.Filial ethics images are divided into filial piety and respect for relatives and dove-sticks respect for the elderly;loyalty ethics images are divided into maintenance of clan,ancient saints,destiny and loyalty.On this basis,according to the unearthed quantity,regional styles,image natures and other characteristics of the collected images of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty,and combined with the distribution rules of the portrait stone tombs of the Han Dynasty,the mural tombs,the images of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty are divided into six regions.The first area is Qingzhou,Xuzhou,and Yanzhou Prefecture in the Han Dynasty,which is now between the Shandong area and the area at the junction of Jiangsu,Shandong,Henan and Anhui.The second area is Nanyang County in the Han Dynasty,which is the southwestern Henan Province which centered on Nanyang.The third area is Henan County in the Han Dynasty which is around Luoyang now.In the fourth area,Shangjun in the Han Dynasty which is the northern part of Shaanxi Province.The fifth area is the Bashu area in the Han Dynasty,which is now Sichuan.And the sixth area is Dingxiang County in the Han Dynasty,which is now Inner Mongolia and Linger.Spread the relationship.Then the thesis mainly discusses the influence and communication relationship between the six unearthed image areas.On this basis,the relevant images are divided into three periods: the first stage of the late Western Han Dynasty to the early Eastern Han Dynasty;the second stage of the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty;and the third stage of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.The first stage is the beginning of the image of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty.This stage is dominated by the images of ancient sages of the pre-Qin period,with a relatively strong enlightenment effect.At this stage,images of the dove-stick respect for the elderly have been discovered.The second stage is the development and evolution period of the ethics of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty.This stage highlights images of Lin Xiangru Returning the jade to Zhao,Jingke assassinating the King of Qin and Fishing for Copper Tripod in the River of Surabaya,etc.,and some other images of praising the Han Dynasty and depreciating the Qin Dynasty.And Dove stick respect for the elderly images are very popular in this period too.The third stage is the prosperous and declining period of loyalty and filial ethics images in the Han Dynasty.In this stage,images mainly reflect the themes of filial sons,daughters and revenge,and Dove-stick respect for the elderly images are more popular in this period.Discriminating the features of the image or text,the paper can realize the purpose of the subject and content of the image through such element characteristics.The content of this chapter provides the basis for exploring the influence of social thoughts in the Han Dynasty and the basis for the popularity of loyalty and filial piety images.Then the paper focuses on the images of the ethics of loyalty and filial piety and the expression of the ethical concept of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty.Through image observation and analysis,this paper shows that family ethics is the foundation of filial respect to the aged,and the filial ethics can deepen the clan ethics,and social ethics is the extension of family filial ethics,and family-nation ethics is the sublimation of family ethics,and then compare different ethical concepts and performances of loyalty and filial piety reflected in different types of images.The relationship between the father and son in the family and the relationship between the monarch and ministers of the nation are directly expressed through images.And the characteristics of the same structure between the family and the state and the unity of between family and the state are concretely displayed too.The images enable the middle and lower classes to realize that the family is the foundation and source of the country,and the country is the extension of the family,and the structure,the reason,the etiquette and law between the family and the country are the same,and the relationship is the basic support of the same structure of the family and the country."The unity of loyalty and filial piety" sublimates the concept of the same structure of family and country.And then the thesis further reveals the idea of ruling the country with loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty which constitutes the basic characteristics of the national political ethics of the Han Dynasty with unique characteristics.The paper studies the related issues of the ethics of loyalty and filial piety in the Han Dynasty.The study found that the ethics of loyalty and filial piety in the Han dynasty image was produced through edicts,decrees,This thesis is centered on the tomb materials of the

ethics of loyalty and filial piety in the Han dynasty image was produced through edicts,decrees,setting up the electoral system,promoting education,and popularizing the "Book of Filial Piety".On this basis,the image of the dove-stick respect for the elderly and the system are investigated.By comparing the tombs of the real dove-stick and the tombs with the image of the dove-stick respect for the elderly,the paper analyzes the process of the settlement,extension,and transmission of the system of respect for the elderly from the upper ruling class to the lower society in the Han Dynasty.The thesis also reveals the era and regularity of the role of the system of respect for the elderly in realizing the communication between the upper and lower classes,forming the fashion of respecting the elderly and maintaining the stability of the grassroots political power in the Han society.By investigating and analyzing related issues such as the identity of the officials and the owner of the image tomb of the loyalty and filial piety ethics in the Han Dynasty,we can deduce that there are two types of people,officials and the master of the image tombs in the Han Dynasty,whose official status and origin are more similar.Although it can be observed from the inscriptions and the images of loyalty and filial piety that they are propagating Confucianism and following the national policy of "ruling the world with filial piety" in the Han Dynasty,it is impossible to clearly determine the truth and the relationship between the official deeds described in the unearthed inscriptions and the real situation.At present,there is no sufficient archaeological data to prove that the director of the image tomb was once an official.This also reserves the space for discussion and research for further exploration in the future.Lastly,the thesis summarizes the main points of the research of this thesis,compares the research results with the social development periods of the Han Dynasty,summarizes the regular characteristics between the images of loyalty and filial piety and social developments in the Han Dynasty,and insists on inheriting the traditional culture by absorbing its essence and discarding its dregs.This research will actively study the value of the images of loyalty and filial piety and still protect the cultural heritage in the Han Dynasty,and endow traditional culture with new connotations of the times,in order to make it our spiritual pursuit and conduct code.setting up the electoral system,promoting education,and popularizing the "Book of
