The accessories of M27 are quite rich and are found scatteredly inside the tomb chamber and coffins They include 24 bronze ritual vessels at east side of outer coffin chamber,like 7 tripods,7 Gui,2 jars,1 Yan,1 He,1 tray,1 basin with a lid,1 You,1 Gong,1 Jiao,1 Zun with a lid and ect;bronze musicalinstruments at northeast side of outer coffin chamber,like a chime,Zhengyu,Zheng and a drum;140 jade and 48 gold decoration and utensils around the skeleton,like set jade ornaments,Bi,Ge,Zong,dragon and rings. The inscriptions on the bronze Gui discovered at M27,read King Rui made the Gui for travel.So thetomb owner should be one king of the Rui state.Combing that many vessels inscribed with Rui were unearthed at M19 and M26,we conclude that the cemetery belongs to the Rui state.展开更多
