Introduction of cultural relics

The gold bing is irregularly rounded, with a concave front and obvious marks, weighing 247.5 grams. The burial of the them was undoubtedly to highlight the wealth that the tomb owner had before his life and ensure his grave life needs. In addition, the excavation of a large number of gold bing has also provided us with information for studying the monetary policy, coin circulation, and the relationship between the central dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty and the princely kingdoms.
