A tomb is a historical and cultural fruit which reflects the age as well as being a personal space that represents thoughts of death, taste, and faith. Yinan Tomb(沂南漢墓) is a place which realizes all popular ideas, such as Xiwangmu(西王母), Buddhist thought, the world after death, and the Yin Yang and the Five Elements theories evenly. Through the contents of iconography, we can see that Yinan Tomb was organized from the reality for the unrealistic world.
The first room, which was germane to the reality, was placed with advice from descendants, relatives, and friends, as well as with a strong charm against evil influences and countermeasures. The middle room represented safe arrival to the world after death and an easy life in the new world. The personal life which would be continued after death was placed in the second room. Dongsu(冬壽), who was a general in Qianyan(前燕), created a huge tomb that was as large as a royal tomb in Koguryo. The tomb’s construction style was influenced by China. However, the result of the influence was not one-sided, but rather a recreation through choice and acceptance in a new culture. Anak Tomb No.3 was quite different from other tombs in China, for example, in the choice of material, the arrangement of space, and the motif arrangement.

In general, as Anak Tomb No.3(安岳三號墳) is thought to describe the luxurious life and ways of the royal family of Koguryo, it could be understood as a reflection and the extension of the present life. While Yinan Tomb was filled with mysterious beasts and a mysterious plant, there were few paintings that are unrealistic in Anak Tomb No 3. This also shows that people believed in the existence of the world after death.
However, the paintings that they drew about the life after death differed. The description of life after death from Kunlun Mountain(崑崙 山), Xiwangmu, and Shanhaijing (山海經) was not from the culture route. While it is essential to find frequent uses of good omens, such as mysterious plants, from the paintings in the Wei, Jin, and Nanbei dynasties(魏晉南北朝), it is difficult to see those in Anak Tomb No. 3. This is because of the cultural influence from the Han Dynasty that Dongsu had brought.
Although the Anak area was not free from the influence of Chinese dynasties, Anak Tomb No. 3, which was built in the space and the time of Koguryo, differed from those in China. It originated from the selective acceptance and recreation of Sinicism in the cultural space of
Koguryo.
