Why did the ancient emperors bury so many funerary objects?

There are mainly the following statements about why ancient emperors buried a large number of funerary objects:

1, ancient emperors buried many funerary objects, which were largely influenced by Confucian culture.

Confucian culture can be said to have a far-reaching influence on ancient China. Since the Han Dynasty, the mainstream cultural thought of society has been Confucianism. Confucianism attaches great importance to funeral ceremonies. Although Confucianism emphasizes that behind the grand funeral ceremony is the true grief for the deceased, more people only pay attention to the grand degree of funeral.

As the king of a country, the emperor has to put on many funerals in order to appear solemn, which also conforms to the requirements of ancient Confucian culture for funerals.

The emperor buried many funerary objects and planned to take them to another world to use.

From the terracotta warriors and horses buried in Qin Shihuang's tomb, it can be seen that the emperor wanted to be king in another world after his death, at least better, so Qin Shihuang buried them with terracotta warriors and horses.

By analogy, many funerary objects buried with the ancient emperors also meant to be taken to another world to enjoy. To say the least, placing funerary objects is actually a comfort to the living. I hope the dead can take them away and live a better life on the other side. As an example of a country, emperors naturally have more funerary objects.

The emperor buried many funerary objects to suppress the mausoleum.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the emperor's mausoleum was new and needed to be suppressed with valuable objects. Similar to gold and silver utensils, glass and jade. An innate luxury. Putting these things into the emperor's mausoleum for burial not only shows the emperor's noble status, but also helps the emperor suppress the mausoleum.
