contents Radio galaxies can be classified into two types, FR I and FR II, depending on their morphology. So far, the reasons for the different behaviour of FR I and FR II in observations have not been clarified. While the Unified Model suggests that the viewing angle and the obscuring effect of the dust ring are the main reasons for the difference in the classification of FR I and FR II radio galaxies, it has been found that the accretion rate and the accretion pattern of the central engine may play a more crucial role. In order to investigate the physical properties of these sources, the cloudy program was used to simulate the 3C 348 radio source outlook ionisation model, and it was found that its optical emission in the nuclear region is significantly lower than the theoretical prediction, which suggests the existence of an obscuration effect, which was later further proved by the spectral decomposition method. And using the thermometric photometry-jet relationship, it is found that the accretion rate in its nuclear region is much lower than the accretion rate inverted from the total jet power, indicating that its accretion mode is in the critical stage of the transition from the standard thin disc to the ADAF. Combined with its Bondi accretion rate, the fitted energy spectrum of the nuclear region shows that the evolution of its jet power is controlled by the change of the central accretion engine.
