Guangzhou is one of the “trillion GDP cities” in China with extremely fast economic growth throughout the years. People often know this coastal city through high-tech industries and digital economy, but few know that Guangzhou is also an ancient land with 2000 years of history, hiding many mysteries of the times.

One of them is the tomb of Trieu Van Vuong – the son of Trieu Trong Thuy, the grandson of Trieu Da! Discovered the tomb of Trieu Van Vuong – Trong Thuy’s son In June 1983, a worker was working on a construction site at the foot of Xianggang Mountain, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, when his foot fell into a pit. This pit is very deep, when colleagues shine their lights on, they only see a pitch black color like a “bottomless pit”. The other worker was lucky to be uninjured and was quickly pulled up, after which he said there were huge copper cauldrons underneath the hole. Understanding that this was an ancient tomb, the construction team quickly reported it to the Guangzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. The mausoleum is located 17m underground. Photo: 360doc. The first house is located 17m deep underground and is built of giant stone slabs. Preliminary excavation shows that the tomb has a total of 7 rooms, walls up to 12m high, on the walls there are frescoes depicting the sun and moon gods. Fortunately, this tomb has never been looted, inside there are still 10,000 cultural relics such as bronze pots, ceramics, lacquerware… The heavy heavy stone gate and 15 skeletons of people who were buried with them (concubines and servants) indicate certainly the grave of someone of the highest rank – a king.

Finally, the archaeological team found a seal that showed The owner of the tomb is the second king of the Trieu Dynasty of Nam Viet – Trieu Van Vuong. Trieu Van Vuong called Trieu Mat, the eldest grandson of Trieu Da, the son of Trieu Trong Thuy, who ascended the throne in 137 BC. Trieu Van Vuong’s tomb is very elaborately decorated. The king’s body lies in a 1.73 meter long jade mourning robe, made of 2291 pieces of jade, silk and linen.

Currently, these relics are on display in the Emperor Zhaowen Museum in Guangzhou, China. Who is Trieu Van Vuong, son of Trong Thuy? Nam Viet was founded in 204 BC an area in Guangdong province and intersected with Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The kingdom lasted for 93 years and in turn experienced 5 kings. Trieu Da, a former general in the military regime of Qin Shi Huang, was the founder of the kingdom. According to the “Dai Viet History of the Complete Book”, Because Trieu Trong Thuy (Trieu Da’s son, An Duong Vuong’s son-in-law) had died before his father, Trieu Mat was chosen as the successor to King Nam Viet.

In his reigning life, Trieu Van Vuong did not have too many achievements, compared to his predecessor, Trieu Da, was also considered to be lack of determination and weakness. He ruled the country of Nam Viet for 12 years, always keeping the agreement with the Han Dynasty, wanting to use justice to sympathize with the neighboring country, repel the enemy, and keep the border at peace. About Trieu Van Vuong’s mother, many people will question whether Trieu Van Vuong’s mother is Princess My Chau? There are not many documents about who Trieu Van Vuong’s mother is, but the book “Thien Nam Luc Luc” – An anonymous work written in Nom script, born around the end of the seventeenth century, records that My Chau had a son. This boy is very much loved by his grandfather, An Duong Vuong, and the king plans to pass the throne to him in the future. However, this boy was brought home by Trong Thuy when he used the excuse to visit his parents, but expressed that in case someone inherits his family line, something should happen. In this case, it is possible that Trieu Van Vuong’s mother is Princess My Chau! Let’s look at the burial items in the tomb of Trieu Van Vuong: The mausoleum owns more than 10,000 burial items.
