The Zeng Hou Yi chime bells were excavated in 1978 from the tomb in Suizhou.
Documented place and context#
Hubei Provincial Museum’s collection record dates the bells to the early Warring States period and identifies the 1978 excavation. The record concerns a museum collection, while the tomb’s findspot is in Suizhou. A trip to the findspot should not be sold as a guarantee of seeing the original bells there.
Planning your visit#
Decide whether your purpose is to understand the excavation site, see original objects or attend a musical demonstration. Ask the relevant institution which purpose its visit actually serves. A performance can use replicas; identify them rather than calling any sounding set the excavated original. Check current display or performance availability separately.
