Pottery stoves were common burial wares in the tombs of the Han Dynasty.In addition to Guanzhong and Henan,a certain number of pottery stoves were unearthed in the small and medium tombs of the Han Dynasty in Youji area.This thesis includes a total of 298 pottery stoves unearthed from the tombs of the Han Dynasty in Youji area,and analyzes the typology.The pottery stoves are divided into six types according to the differences in the shapes of the cooktops.Based on the classification of pottery stoves,the study of pottery stoves was presented in stages,and the development of pottery stoves was divided into four phases.From the middle of the Western Han Dynasty to the late Eastern Han Dynasty,various types of pottery stoves in Youji area have undergone an overall evolution from simple to complex to simple.Although the pottery stove has an overall development law,there are obvious regional characteristics among different areas in Youji area.The trapezoidal and rectangular stoves in the southern part of Youji may affect the production of the same shaped pottery stoves in the northwestern part of Youji,and the eastern part of Youji,which has a large number of unearthed circular pots,has also been affected by the southern and northwestern parts to some extent.There is also a certain amount of communication and interaction between the Youji area and the surrounding areas.By comparing the situation of pottery stoves unearthed from small and medium-sized tombs in the surrounding areas,it can be seen that rectangular stoves appeared in the Guanzhong area in the early Western Han Dynasty and affected the appearance and development of pottery stoves in Henan.Later,under-the joint influences of Guanzhong and Henan,the pottery stoves unearthed from small and medium-sized tombs of the Han Dynasty in the Youji area showed rich shapes,and a trapezoidal stove with the characteristics of the Youji area was developed based on the rectangular stove.This not only reflects the development of different local cultures in the Han Dynasty,but also reflects the trend of cultural diversity and integration in the Han Dynasty.
