Archaeologists from all over China flock to Yangzhou and claim that the grave has just been found in Xihu, the town of Hanjiang district, which is the grave of Yang Guang (ie, Sui Chen), who is considered a in the worst military marriages in Chinese history.

New tomb found.

In general, Chinese historians all wrote Duong's dictatorship to bring the Sui (581-618) house to the point of decline. However, he also completed some major construction projects, including Dai Van Ha channel and reconstruction of the Great Wall.

According to Shu Jiaping, director of Yangzhou Archeology Department, the words on a pill found in the grave indicate that its owner is Yang Guang.

Mr. Shu said: "The tomb of Duong is not as luxurious as the ordinary rich man under the Custom dynasty, because he died suddenly while fleeing the revolt in Jiang Do, today Yangzhou."

The grave in the North - South direction is 4.98m long and the East - West direction is 5.88m long.

"The grave was" visited by thieves. "The grave of the tomb was also damaged because some houses were built on it, ' said Shu.

Although the tomb was stolen, four valuable items were used, which the members of the royal family used in the past, including lion-shaped door handles made of gold and iron, and a gold inlaid jade belt.

However, according to the local Archaeological Office, there are no burial relics and any part of the coffin.

The discovery of the tomb was an unexpected happiness for the people living nearby.

"We heard construction workers found many bricks at the scene, which they thought was just an ordinary ancient tomb , " said Zhou Jian, a local resident. "I never thought I was a neighbor of an ancient emperor, even very famous."

Archaeologists also discovered a nearby grave, which they thought could be one of Duong's queens.

The discovery proved that the tomb area, about 6 km from the construction site and was previously thought to be the burial place of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), was a mausoleum, Shu said.

Compared to the newly discovered tomb, "false tombs" occupy an area of ​​30,000 square meters, with arches, doors and surrounding walls.
