16．Archaeologists have made a significant find in Jiangxi Province in eastern China．An excavation near Nanchang，the provincial capital，uncovered that largest burial ever found in China．Dating back more than 2，000 years to the West Han Dynasty，it is the royal tombs of the Marquis of Haihun State．
Known as the Haihunhou cemetery，it is located less than a mile from downtown Nanchang．It covers some 10 acres of land．Experts found a chariot （戰(zhàn)車） burial site with walls that extend for almost 3，000feet．In addition，eight distinct tombs were discovered．
Archaeologists believe that the main tomb was the final resting place of Liu He，grandson of Emperor Wu，the greatest ruler of Han Dynasty，which was one of the most prosperous periods in China's history．Liu was given the title"Haihunhou"（Marquis of Haihun） after he was deposed as emperor for only 27days，having been cast down by the royal family because of"his lack of talent and morals，"according to official sources．Haihun is the ancient name of a small kingdom in the north of Jiangxi．
Xu Changqing，director of Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Relics Research Institute，said on November 5that the burials are the most complete and best preserved Han Dynasty tombs ever discovered．There are also roads and drainage systems in the cemetery．
The team has found more than 10metric tons of Wuzhu bronze coins，as well as more than 10，000other gold，bronze and iron items．
This is the only tomb excavated to the south of Yangtze River that has been found with vehicles．"The chariot burial is an important part of the tomb，"Xu said．His team found five well-preserved horse-drawn vehicles．Each one had four sacrificed horses，and more than 3，000 accessories decorated with gold and silver．"The discovery will be important for the study of hierarchical （等級(jí)的） burial customs and articles used in burial，"he said．
