There is a GPS tag inside of this picture. But, I don't know what it's inside of this coffin. This coffin they said has pasted many thousands years, according to the ancient Ba-Shu burial culture legend. The ancient Ba-Shu wooden coffin burial in the natural open-area cliff.
Most of the coffins have been gone by chief or unknown reason. Actually, I know the coffins suspended in the cliffs are not only in here but also in another places in China.
See this article.(Chinese)
Why the ancient people use the way to make burial until now it's still a mystery. Here are many causes under below.

- Religiosity/Faith/Totemism.......
- For successors blooming (More rich/children/anything the desire want)
- For dead silence (People and animal invade or bother)
- Nomads used nomadic style living in accordance with mountain and the dead used also.
- Etc.
But, at least one thing I know the Chinese ancient idiom, 見官發財(Jian-Kuan-Fa-Chai) means when seeing the official can bring you money and wealth. The other idiom is 升官發財(Shan-Kuan-Fai-Chai). It means to get promotion in career and money. "官" this word and "棺" have the same pronunciation but the different sharp and meaning. "官" means the official and "棺" is coffin. Due to the same pronunciation, the posterity extend its original usage when seeing the coffin("棺") can bring you money and wealth. However, when this idiom to be invented was using "棺" or "官", I can't study and research. I just know the suspended coffin leaving the unlimited reveries for future generation.
Chinese Hieroglyph is interesting in the world. "塩" or "塩巴"(Yian, meaning salt) and "鹵"(Lu, it's sharp like a can or pot for stocking salt.) are relative with ancient Ba-Shu(巴蜀)people. Something has the geography location reason with Ba-Shu this area. (As the upper website to describe this story.)
The old Ba-Shu location was spread in the current Si-Chuan, Chong-Chin, western area of Hu-Bei province. Before Qin Dynasty domination in China empire, Ba(巴), Chu(楚), Qin(秦) (Around BC 400~200)are the strong countries(or seignior) in China. Qin didn't destroy the Ba civilian and used them to conquer the all China. Hence, the ancient civilization gradually fade by the other invasion and then integrate into the new culture. Despite of its time declining, it still remains many mysteries waiting the archaeologist to explore and research.
