The Marquis of Haihun cemetery covers roughly 40,000 square meters and contains eight tombs and a chariot burial site.

After a five year study of the tombs, experts have declared them the best-preserved royal tombs of the West Han Dynasty ever discovered in China. They have the most complete structure, the clearest layout as well as the most complete ritual system by far.

Many precious relics and a large amount of ancient money have been found in the cemetery, leading archeologists to conclude that the tomb owner was an aristocrat.

Archeologists suspect that the main tomb is that of Liu He, grandson of Emperor Wu, the greatest ruler of the Han Dynasty, one of the most prosperous periods in China's history. Liu was given the title "Haihunhou " (Marquis of Haihun) after he was deposed as emperor after only 27 days, dethroned by the royal clan because of his lack of talent and morals. Haihun is the ancient name of a very small kingdom in the north of Jiangxi.

As the tomb of "Haihunhou" is still under excavation, we can look forward to even more new discoveries that will continue to surprise. Let's take a look at the luxurious items unearthed so far. They also give some indication of the tomb owner's hobbies in life.

The archeological team has found more than 10 tonnes of Wuzhu bronze coins together with more than 10,000 other gold, bronze and iron items, unearthed along with jade articles, wood tablets and bamboo slips.

According to documents, 10 such strings of bronze coins could be exchanged for 250 grams (or one "Jin" in Chinese) of gold. Ten "Jin" of gold was approximately the total wealth of a middle-class family at that time.

Several jade pendants were discovered on Nov 18 near the main coffin in the central mausoleum of "Haihunhou" tomb. One of the jade items, around 10 cm long and 7 cm wide, is in a heart-shape decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns. The jade, which is of fine quality, despite being buried for over 2,000 years, still looks elegant.
