As archaeological researches increase about Early Medieval burial sites around Altai and Tengri (t'ien shan) mountains, our information about early Turkic tribes becomes more reliable. One of the cases that will help to enhance our understanding is the burial mounds found recently in Mongolia, named as Shoroon Dov and Ulaan Khermiin Shoroon Bumbagar. Kurgans were excavated by joint archaeological teams in 2009 and 2011. They are close in proximity on both site of the river Tola. Also the artifacts of kurgans constitute an important source for the history of Tola valley around 630 CE. even for Orhon Uighur Khaganate (Ötüken/Great Uyghur Khaganate) established after 744 CE. It must be admitted that every archaeologist studying the objects of the Gök Türks 1 has a cherished dream to find the grave of one of the great steppe rulers. Sometimes this seemingly innocent vanity prevents the archaeologist from truly interpreting the archaeological artifacts. Thus, after the discovery of the Ulaan Khermiin Shoroon Bumbagar kurgan, some archaeologists claimed the idea that it should belong to one of the rulers of the Gök Türks. In this article, based on the archaeological materials of this kurgans and comparing it with the artifacts of other burials dated to the same period, we try clarify to whom and the which civilization these burials might have belonged to.

“…During the Tang Dynasty, polo was a favourite pastime for the royal and noble families as well as the royal court (Liu 1985; Chehabi & Guttman 2002), to such an extent that the desire to play polo in the afterlife is expressed in Early Tang murals, such as those in the tombs of Prince Li Xian and Prince Jiemin (Eckfield 2005). The text in Zizhitongjian (資治通鑒) reports that Emperor Xizong (唐僖宗) (reigned 874–888), who ruled during Cui Shi's life in the late Tang period, was obsessed with polo.…”

In a narrow sense, the underground space of a tomb usually has gorgeous decoration and furnishings. In this real and imaginary coexistence space, there are many two-dimensional and three-dimensional female images. The space composed of these images and the surrounding environment is called female space. This paper starts from the context of the Tang Dynasty's thick burial wind and explores the particularity of female space in Princess Yongtai's tomb by restoring the isolated and isolated female images in the tomb to their images, buildings, and social environments. What causes this? How to traverse an architectural barrier? Consider the importance and relevance of female images in female space in relation to male space, going beyond individual images.
