Print Edition
A well-preserved tomb of a governor of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) found in Hangzhou, which was the dynastic capital, has yielded some important discoveries, officials said.
The tomb, in Dumushan Village in Xindeng Town, Fuyang City, Hangzhou was found by a construction team and excavated by Hangzhou Research Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Fuyang Cultural Relics Museum.
The tomb was well preserved, with an epitaph of over 800 characters inscribed on a grave stone giving information about the life of the official, Liang Duanli. Liang was born in Ningbo in Zhejiang Province and was given a title at age 14 due to his noble family.
“The epitaph records several things that we were unaware of, or were vague about,” said Yang Jindong, archaeologist from Hangzhou Research Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.
Other findings from the tomb include coffin nails, bronze incense burners, celadon bowls, porcelain vases, jade accessories and bronze coins.
Liang died at age 71 in 1272 with the rank approximately equal to the head of a county.
“The tomb has details of the date of burial, is well preserved, and includes fine grave goods. It is very important material for studying the funeral customs of the Southern Song Dynasty,” added Yang.
