The National Tomb of Mt. Jōsonreikakukokubo (English: Shàng cūn lǐng guó guó mù)

Japanese: 上村嶺虢国墓 - じょうそんれいかくこくぼ（英語表記）Shàng cūn lǐng guó guó mù

A group of tombs of the nobles of Guo State from the late Western Zhou period to the early Spring and Autumn period in Shangcunling, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, China. Guo is a state with the same surname as Zhou, but in addition to Western Guo, where King Wen's younger brother Guo Zhong was first given a fief, there is Eastern Guo, where King Wen's younger brother Guo Shu was given a fief, and further, due to subsequent moves, Southern Guo and Northern Guo (Pinglu County, Shanxi Province). The Shangcunling Guo State Tomb is presumed to be in Northern Guo based on its geographical location. It was excavated in 1956 and 1957 by the Yellow River Reservoir Archaeological Team of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in conjunction with the construction of the Sanmenxia Dam on the Yellow River.

中国，河南省三門峡市上村嶺にある西周時代後期から春秋時代前期の虢国貴族の墓群。虢は周と同姓の国であるが，周の文王の弟虢仲が初めて封ぜられた西虢のほか，文王の弟虢叔の封ぜられた東虢があり，さらにその後の移動によって，南虢，北虢(山西省平陸県)がある。上村嶺虢国墓はその地理的位置から北虢のものと推定されている。黄河三門峡ダム工事に伴って1956,57年に中国科学院考古研究所黄河水庫考古隊によって発掘調査された。
