Mancheng Han Tombs - Manjō Kanbo

Japanese: 満城漢墓 - まんじょうかんぼ
Mancheng Han Tombs - Manjō Kanbo

In 1968, a soldier from the People's Army discovered an ancient tomb from the Han dynasty near the peak of Lingshan in the western part of Mancheng County, Hebei Province, China. Tomb No. 1 lies buried with Emperor Wu's brother, King of Zhongshan Liu Sheng, and Tomb No. 2 lies with his wife, Dou Wan. Tomb No. 1 has a double wall at the entrance, between which molten iron was poured and solidified. At the entrance to the tomb chamber, there are ear chambers on either side, and a middle chamber and a back chamber. The coffin was placed 51.7 meters from the entrance. It has the atmosphere of a grand palace. There are many grave goods, but the gold-laced jade garment is a masterpiece. It is the funeral clothing of an emperor or aristocrat, covering the body from head to foot with small jade tags bound together. The jade is nephrite, a type of soft jade, and was probably brought from Xinjiang. Inside the tomb, many everyday items were buried just as they were in modern life. The bronzeware, "Chu Daguan Zhong" is a wine jar, which was confiscated from Liu Bo during the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion (154 BC) and is thought to have been given to Sheng. The "Changxin Palace Lantern" has an inscription that reads "Yangxin family," and it is likely that after the death of Yangxin Marquis Liu Xi, the possession of the lantern changed hands and it became Sheng's.

Japanese:

1968年、中国、河北省満城県の西部、陵山の山頂近辺で、人民軍兵士が発見した漢代の古墓。第1号墓は武帝の兄、中山王の劉勝(りゅうしょう)、第2号墓はその妻、竇綰(とうわん)を葬っている。第1号墓は入口に二重の壁をつくって、その間に融鉄を流し込んで固めていた。墓室の入口には耳室が左右に配され、中室、後室も備わっている。入口から51.7メートルの地点に棺が置かれていた。壮大な宮殿という趣(おもむき)がある。副葬品も数多いが、なかでも金縷玉衣(きんるぎょくい)は逸品である。小さい玉札を綴(つづ)って頭から足まで覆う皇帝、貴族の葬服である。玉は軟玉に属するネフライトで、新疆(しんきょう)から運んだものであろう。墓の内部は現世の生活そのままに日用品などが数多く埋葬されていた。銅器では、「楚(そ)大官糟鐘(そうしょう)」は酒壺(さけつぼ)であるが、これは呉楚七国(ごそしちこく)の乱(前154)の劉戊(りゅうぼう)のものを没収し、改めて勝に与えたと考えられる。「長信宮燈」は銘(めい)に陽信家とあり、陽信侯劉楬(りゅうけつ)の絶家ののち、所有を転じて勝のものとなったのであろう。
