Tomb of Liu Sheng

The tomb contains two primary burial chambers built into Ling-shan mountains, featuring intricate architectural designs and multiple functional compartments extending 52 meters in length.

Prince Liu Sheng, the ninth son of Emperor Jing, governed the Chung-shan principality from 154 BC until his death in 113 BC during the Western Han Dynasty.

The burial chambers include 2,700 objects, such as bronze vessels, jade carvings, gold items, and silver artifacts, reflecting Han Dynasty burial traditions.

The tombs maintain constant temperature and humidity levels due to their mountain location, which has contributed to the preservation of ancient artifacts.

Archaeologists discovered acupuncture needles measuring 6-7 centimeters in length, indicating advanced medical practices during the Western Han period.
