The Tomb of Kang Ye (traditional Chinese: 康業墓; simplified Chinese: 康业墓; pinyin: Kāng Yè mù) is a Northern Zhou (Northern Dynasties 439-589 CE) period funeral monument to a Sogdian nobleman and official in northern China named Kang Ye in his epitaph.
[1] Contrary to the other known Sogdian funerary monuments, the decorations of the tomb do not have Zoroastrian elements, and they follow Chinese stylistics traditions, with the use of shallow engraved lines.
[1] According to the epitaph, Kang Ye was a descendant of the king of Kangju (Sogdiana).
[1][2] Kang Ye then inherited the title of "Grand Heavenly Master" with the agreement of the Chinese emperor.
[2] His corpse was placed on top of the tomb and wrapped in a Chinese silk robe.
