Ming Dynasty ancient tomb discovered in C China

An ancient mural tomb from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was excavated recently in Xingyang city, Central China's Henan Province. According to the epitaph discovered, archaeologists were able to conclude that it must be King Zhouyi's tomb dating back to the Ming Dynasty.

He was the descendant of Zhu Su, the fifth son of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, whose fief was in Kaifeng of Henan. It made him the fifth seignior of the region. The tomb provides valuable information about the burial ritual of the royal families in the Ming Dynasty.

With a history of 531 years, the tomb still has a large area of well-preserved murals. (Photo/Xinhua)
