河南安阳市西高穴曹操高陵

Cao Cao’s Gaoling Mausoleum at Xi Gaoxue Village,Anyang City, Henan

河南省文物考古研究所等在安阳县西高穴村清理了一座东汉末年大型砖室墓。墓葬平面呈甲字形,为多室砖室墓,由墓道、砖砌护墙、墓门、封门墙、甬道、墓室和侧室等部分组成。根据墓葬形制及规格、出土遗物、墓主人性别及年龄、墓葬所处位置,并结合有关文献记载,该墓应是魏武王曹操的高陵。

In December 2008, Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Anyang County Bureau of Culture recovered a large-sized brick-chamber tomb at Xi Gaoxue Village, Anyang County, Henan Province. This tomb was a multi-chamber tomb in a T-shaped general plan and composed of passageway, brick-laid shield wall, gate, gate-sealing wall, corridor, tomb chambers and side chambers. The artifacts unearthed from this tomb were made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, jade, bone, lacquer, porcelain, pottery, stone, and so on, including some stone plaques bearing the characters ＂Wei Wu Wang （Prince Wu of Wei）＂. Analyzed from the type and rank of the tomb, the unearthed artifacts, the genders and ages of the tomb occupants and the location of the tomb, with the references of relevant historic literatures, this tomb was suggested to be Cao Cao＇s Gaoting Mausoleum.
