The age of this tomb is probably in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In fact, the tombs of that era gave almost the same funerary objects, such as weapons and ceramics. The historical value of cultural relics is far higher than the value of cultural relics themselves. In 1980s, a power plant was built in Taiyuan, Shanxi. During the construction, the construction team came across this ancient tomb.
Fortunately, these tombs are relatively complete and have not been destroyed by grave robbers. Later, archaeologists explored and excavated this ancient tomb group. Surprisingly, there are more than 500 ancient tombs in this tomb group, and these ancient tombs involve many ages, which can be said to have existed in various dynasties. Unfortunately, some ancient tombs have been damaged to some extent because of their age.
However, one of the tombs is particularly well preserved, and there are a large number of precious funerary objects, about 3,000 pieces. It can be seen from these objects that the owner of this tomb is very noble. Later, experts and scholars determined that the owner of this tomb was Zhao Yang in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period according to the determination of carbon 14 and the inscription on the bronze ge. In fact, the greatest significance of Zhao Yang's tomb is not that there are many precious funerary objects, but that he provides many physical evidences for historians to study the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
