A spirit way is the ornate road leading to a Chinese tomb of a major dignitary. The term is also sometimes translated as spirit path or sacred way. The spirit way is lined on both sides by a succession of statues, pillars, and stelae. Spirit ways were a well-developed feature of tombs by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The statues along the spirit way depict real and mythical animals, as well as civilian and military officials.
