A total of 510 pieces of relics unearthed from the tomb of Marquis of Haihun in Jiangxi Province will be exhibited at Shenzhen Museum starting tomorrow. Entry is free.

Since the grand imperial tomb was excavated in 2011, more than 10,000 artifacts have been unearthed from it, including many gold objects, a large amount of ancient money and ancient books made up of thousands of bamboo slips. After a five-year study, experts have declared it the best-preserved imperial tomb of the Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D.) ever discovered in China. It has the most complete structure, the clearest layout as well as the most-complete ritual system by far.

In 2016, archeologists announced that the main tomb is that of Liu He (92-59 B.C.), grandson of Emperor Liu Che, the greatest ruler of the Han Dynasty. Liu He was given the title “Haihunhou” (Marquis of Haihun) after he was deposed as emperor after only 27 days, dethroned by the imperial clan because of his debauchery and licentious lifestyle. Haihun is the ancient name of a small prefecture in the north of Jiangxi.
