Abstract
This paper analyzes the contents of portraits on the door of the Eastern Han tomb unearthed in Suide, Shaanxi Province in 1975, and discusses the properties of these portraits. It is believed that the tomb door portraits exemplify the "outlook on life and death" of people in Han Dynasty, and describe the process of "becoming immortal" of the dead in Han Dynasty.
