汉代的一些石雕工艺品手法独特，有的还会使用简单抽象、变形夸张的技巧传神达韵，以形写神，达到特殊的艺术效果。这些石雕运用的抽象技法形成了汉代大型石雕的主流基础。具有代表性的作品是西汉时期抗击匈奴的名将霍去病墓的石雕群，这是汉代石雕艺术的巅峰之作。现存石雕有《马踏匈奴》 《石入》 《伏虎》 《卧马》 《卧牛》 《卧象》 《野猪》等十余件，都是花岗石作品，其造型古朴、传神而深刻，体现了汉代石雕的刚强气魄及深沉雄浑的风格特色。
Some stone carving crafts in Han Dynasty have unique techniques. Some of them use simple and abstract techniques, such as deformation and exaggeration, to convey the spirit and rhyme, and to write the spirit in form, so as to achieve special artistic effect. The abstract techniques used in these stone carvings formed the mainstream basis of large stone carvings in the Han Dynasty. The representative works are the stone carvings from the tomb of Huo Qubing, a famous general fighting against Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty, which is the peak of the stone carving art of the Han Dynasty. There are more than ten existing stone carvings, such as horse stepping on Xiongnu, Shijin, Fuhu, crouching horse, lying cattle, lying elephant and wild boar. All of them are granite works. Their shapes are simple, vivid and profound, reflecting the strong spirit and deep and vigorous style characteristics of the stone carvings in the Han Dynasty.
