Tomb M1 faces to the south and consists of a tomb-passage, a corridor and a chamber. It yielded a celadon jar and an epitaph. Tomb M2 is unclear in shape and contains an epitaph and 17 remaining funeral objects, such as terra-cotta tomb figurines, domestic animals and other models, tomb-guarding creatures and vessels.Tomb M3 is in the best condition and close to M1 in shape. Its funeral objects include an epitaph and more than 160 terra-cotta tomb figurines, tomb-guarding creatures, domestic animals and other models.The three unearthed epitaphs indicate that M1 belonged to Li Liyi of the Sui period, M2 to Li's husband Cui Zhongfang dying in the Tang period, M3 to Cui Zhongfang's son Cui Dashan who died in the Sui dynasty, and the whole burial ground was the graveyard of Cui, a noble family in Boling.展开更多

It is a knife-shaped earth shaft. Although it was seriously robbed in ancient times, still a batch of important funeral objects was unearthed from the tomb pit. Among them are bronzes, jade and stone artifacts, lacquer-, bone-and shell-ware, and gold- and silver-covered articles, of which the bronzes include vessel details, weapons,chariot fittings, tools and musical instruments. Judged by its grave goods and inscriptions, the tomb must go back to the turn from the Spring-and-Autumn to the Warring States period. The chamber and coffin structure, funeral objects and size of the tomb suggest that the tomb-owner might have been an important minister of the Jin state.展开更多
