Jing'an County Museum

Jing'an County Museum is located in Shuikou Township, Jing'an County, about 6 kilometers from the county seat. The museum's collection mainly features cultural relics unearthed from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Liuzhou'ao Ancient Tomb. It is a national-level cultural heritage conservation unit, a national advanced group in Cultural Heritage Day activities, a provincial-level patriotic education base, and a provincial-level science education base. The Liuzhou'ao Eastern Zhou Ancient Tomb, dating back over 2,500 years, contains 47 well-preserved coffins densely arranged in the burial pit. It is currently the earliest-known, largest multi-coffin burial site of its kind in China with the most unique structure. The Liuzhou'ao Eastern Zhou Ancient Tomb was ranked first among the "Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in China in 2007." A total of 650 cultural relics were unearthed, including the "World’s No. 1 Sword," "World’s No. 1 Mat," and "World’s No. 1 Fan," all of which are displayed at the Eastern Zhou Ancient Tomb Museum. Among them, the large dragon-shaped gold foil clan emblem excavated from the tomb was selected as a Jiangxi Provincial cultural relic highlight and exhibited in Beijing in 2008. The textile artifacts unearthed have the potential to reshape the history of textile production in China. A documentary about the Eastern Zhou Ancient Tomb titled "Mystery of the Coffin Cluster," produced by China Central Television, has been aired multiple times on CCTV-4, CCTV-9, and CCTV-10, greatly increasing the tomb's fame.
