Su Hu

However, due to the rich and evolving folklore and oral legends in China, these characters can be considered mythical figures, and their tombs can be found in real life.

[4] As one of the eight hundred marquises serving King Zhou and ruling over Jizhou, Su Hu participated in the customary summer gathering to renew his loyalty to the Shang dynasty.

However, upon his arrival, he witnessed the rampant corruption and injustice within King Zhou's court, prompting him to take a principled stance and refuse to obey its demands.

Ji Chang sought a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but Chong Houhu launched an enthusiastic assault on Su Hu's forces out of a desire to win the king's favor.

However, Ji Chang intervened and persuaded Su Hu to spare his family and instead offer his daughter as a means to alleviate the suffering of his people, thus putting an end to the coalition.

Sadly, Su Hu's daughter contracted a fox spirit while traveling to King Zhou's court, which ultimately contributed to the collapse of the Shang dynasty.

Located in the northeast of Xiaonanzhang Village, 3 kilometers north of Wen County, the tomb gained attention in August 1968 when a collection of 23 bronze artifacts was unearthed from a pit over half a meter deep below the surface.
