Other views of King Zheng’s Tomb Museum

The king of Zheng was an earl. According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, his king could not be buried in a tomb passage. However, this tomb has wide north and south tomb passages, and there are spacious vehicles in the tomb passage, which is similar to that of the vassal states of Zheng. The status does not correspond, which reflects the objective phenomenon that the monarch has "transgressed" and disobeyed Zhou etiquette. If the number of burial vehicles in its burial pit No. 3 and chariot and horse pit No. 2 are added together, the total number of vehicles may exceed one hundred. This was undoubtedly too extravagant for Zheng, which was known as the "Land of Thousands of Chariots" at the time. But from another aspect, it shows that the reign of this king may have been a period when Zheng was relatively strong. A large A-shaped tomb with a total length of 25 meters has been found about 7 meters east of the tomb. It is the second large tomb with a tomb discovered among the tombs of Zheng State. It may be the tomb of the king's wife.

In addition, archeology found that this is a Korean cast iron site. A large official workshop was built in the capital after Han Dynasty destroyed Zheng. The historical scene of digging and burning the tomb of Zheng Zheng here to break its Feng Shui deliberately reflects the historical scene. After the change of dynasty, the Koreans were afraid of the Zheng people's return to the country. To the south of this tomb, there are some tombs of Korean disabled people and children.

There are more than 3,000 tombs of the Zheng State dating back 2,700 years ago, including the world-famous "Chariot and Horse Pit", where 21 of the 22 kings of the Zheng State are buried. The number of tombs there is the largest among the Spring and Autumn Period cemeteries discovered in the country, and its density is extremely rare among cemeteries of the same period in the country. It can be described as a place without lying cows. In particular, the discovery of a group of chariot and horse pits with various specifications has no precedent in the Spring and Autumn Period cemeteries. If the chariot and horse pit is excavated in a large area, its grand occasion will be another grand stage to display the glorious civilization of ancient my country after the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang.
