The National Museum of China in Beijing has unveiled a new exhibition highlighting the tomb of King Kaolie of Chu (Xiong Yuan, 278-238 BC) from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BC) — Tomb No 1 at the Wuwangdun site, Huainan, Anhui province.
Scientifically excavated, this is the largest, highest-ranking, and most structurally complex royal tomb of the Chu State discovered to date. An array of treasures awaits: bronze ritual vessels, bronze bells and stone chime sets, jade bi discs and huang pendants, together with lacquered wooden tables, opening the door to an immersive archaeological journey.
Dates: Until April 2026
