This paper uses the cultural factor analysis method in the archaeological research method to explore the rise and fall of the imperial power of the Western Han Dynasty by taking the remains in the regulation of the mausoleum of the Western Han Dynasty as the analysis and research object. By combing the evolution of the imperial mausoleum system in the Western Han Dynasty, this paper aims to analyze the influence of the imperial power system on the regulation of the imperial mausoleum. At present, the academic circles generally believe that the mausoleum system in the early Western Han Dynasty was ‘Han Cheng Qin system’, and gradually improved and developed independently in the middle and late stages, but there is still a debate on whether there is ‘Zhao Mu’. The current archaeological data and research show that the imperial power has become an important factor restricting the layout of the Western Han Dynasty mausoleum under the influence of different political ideas, and it involves the destruction of the Han ancestral temple. This paper argues that the Han Dynasty laid the foundation for the development of the imperial mausoleum system in later generations.
