In 2009 through 2011, Nanjing Museum conducted rescue excavations to the tombs of the Han Dynasty at Dayun Hill in Xuyi County, Jiangsu, which uncovered a rather well preserved mausoleum precinct of the feudatory kings of the Western Han Dynasty. In total, three main tombs, 11 attendant tombs, two chariot-and-horse pits, two weaponry pits and the mausoleum architecture remains were discovered. Among them, Tombs No. 1 and No. 2 yielded large amounts of lacquer wares, bronzes, gold and silver wares and jades including jade coffin and jade burial suits sewn with gold wires, etc. Referring to the historic literature and the archaeological materials, the occupant of Tomb No. 1 was confirmed to be Liu Fei, the first generation of the feudatory king of Jiangdu Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty and the mausoleum precinct of the Western Han Dynasty at Dayun Hill was that of the first generation of the feudatory king of Jiangdu Kingdom.
