Li Yu Village Tomb (English: Li Yu Village Tomb)

Japanese: 李峪村古墓 - りよくそんこぼ（英語表記）Lǐ yù cūn gǔ mù

Located in Liyu Village, Hunyuan County, Shanxi Province, China, this tomb yielded a large number of bronze artifacts in 1923. The site is on the south bank of the Hun River, which flows at the western foot of Mount Hengshan. A cliff near Liyu Village collapsed due to a storm, exposing part of the underground tomb chamber, from which bronze artifacts, pottery fragments, lacquerware fragments, jade artifacts, shell products, and bone and horn artifacts were excavated. The exposed artifacts were carried away by villagers, and some of the excavated artifacts were collected by the Hunyuan County Magistrate, but many were exported to countries such as France. The bronze artefacts excavated included containers such as tripods, kettle shells, steamers, sacrificial statues, vases, pots, beans, cups, trays, incense, and animal-shaped statues; weapons such as swords, halberds, and arrowheads; and horse and carriage equipment such as chisels, bits, and wheel heads.
