Family Genealogy of the Zeng State and Related Issues

历经近一个世纪的曾国考古,揭示了考古出土的青铜铭文"曾"就是《左传》等文献记载的"随"。曾国考古发掘了16位曾侯和10位夫人墓葬,出土文物尤其是大量金文揭示了尘封的曾国历史,书写了一部名不见经传的曾国历史,这是考古史上的传奇,也是诸侯国别史研究的奇迹。

The archaeology of the Zeng state has lasted for nearly a century, revealing that the inscription of ‘Zeng’ on unearthed bronze vessels refers to the ‘Sui’ state recorded in historical documents such as Zuo Zhuan(Commentary of Zuo). Archaeological discoveries have revealed 16 male Marquises and their wives of the Zeng state. The unearthed artifacts(and the many bronze inscriptions in particular) have shed light on the history of the Zeng state, which has remained long forgotten and unknown before being confirmed by archaeological excavations. Overall speaking, the archaeology of the Zeng state is marvelous in terms of both archaeological study and studies of vassal states.
