What literature explains life in Han dynasty tomb towns?

Accepted answer

I believe the term you're looking for is shouyi (守邑), "guardian town".

In truth, I'm not sure what information/reading you're asking for. A particularly obscure topic, if I may say so.

If you're looking to understand the logic of Chinese rituals on ancestor worship, a good book is "Chinese Thought" (2019) by Roel Sterckx (Joseph Needham Professor at Cambridge).

Alternatively, his earlier work could also be useful - "Food, Sacrifice, and Sagehood in Early China" (2011).
