The Tomb of King Cuo of Zhongshan is an archaeological site located in Sanji, Pingshan, Hebei, China.
The inscription was about two men, Gongsheng De and Jiujiang Man, who were servants and fishermen during the king's life and later guarded his tomb after his death.
Although the central burial chamber had already been looted in antiquity, archaeologists were still able to uncover hundreds of bronze, jade, lacquer and pottery artefacts.
The style and usage of bronze artefacts underwent a drastic change by the time King Cuo died in the fourteenth year of his reign.
[1] The new technique included the use of inlaid silver and gold onto bronze objects, often portraying mythical beasts.
