西安明代秦藩辅国将军朱秉橘家族墓

The Clan Tomb of Zhu Bingju—the Fuguo General of Enfeoffed King Qin of the Ming Dynasty

2004-2005,陕西省考古研究所在西安市南郊发掘清理了4座明墓,出土了玉石器、陶瓷器、锡器、铜钱等。据墓志可知,M14的墓主人是秦王的辅国将军朱秉橘及其夫人,其他三座墓的主人是其后嗣及家属。这些墓有保存较好的砖砌门楼和祭台,M24、M26还出土了精美的髹漆彩绘木棺。上述明墓的发现,为研究明代藩王制度和葬俗提供了实物资料。

From 2004 to 2005, archaeological institute of Shannxi Province excavated 4 tombs of the Ming dynasty from northern suburban of Xian City; large quantities of jades, pottery, bronze coins and tin ware were discovered in this cite. According to the epitaph on memorial tablet, the hosts of M14 are Zhu Bingju, the Fuguo General of Kingdom Qin and his wife; the hosts of other three tombs are his descendants and clan members. The excavators unearthed some well-preselwed arches and altars which were built by bricks; they also found wooden coffins which were exquisitely painted with lacquer. Those findings provide material data to the research on system of enfeoffment and rite of funeral.
