Over 10,000 cultural relics unearthed from Haihunhou Tomb (13)

Photo taken on March 1, 2016 shows a gold cake unearthed from the 2,000-year-old Haihunhou (Marquis of Haihun) Tomb in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province. The gold cake was written with report to the Marquis of Haihun, who had a short-lived reign of 27 days as an emperor of Western Han Dynasty (206 BC -- 24 AD). A jade seal found in the interior coffin of the tomb helped identify its master as "Liu He", name of the Marquis of Haihun, who is also the grandson of Emperor Wu whose reign ushered in one of the most prosperous periods in China's history. Over 10,000 pieces of cultural relics were unearthed from the tomb during the 5-year-long excavation. (Xinhua/Wan Xiang)
