This hall covers a total area of 400 square meters with a display of the origin Tomb of Guoji(2001), three tombs of his attendants and two horse pits. The Tomb of Guoji is a rectangle earthen-shaft of 5.3 meters long, 3.55 meters wide and 12 meters deep. The wooden burial coffins consist of double inner ones and an outer one with a large-scale pall. The tomb owner was buried with a jade between his jaws, his face covered with a jade mask, and seven sets of Jade pendants on the chest; a jade was held in each hand, and some other jades were put between his toes; he lied with an extended supine position, his head towards the north while his feet towards the south; and his two arms were put before his chest. Due to the fact that the large tombs of Emperor Zhou of Western Zhou Dynasty or ChunQiu Period were rarely found, and some discovered tombs of governors were mostly robbed, the tomb of King Guoji is known as the well-preserved tomb of ChunQiu Period in the Western Zhou Dynasty that has ever been excavated with the highest ranks and the most richest unearthed cultural relics.

The tomb dates back to 2800 years ago in the late Western Zhou Dynasty under King Xuan. Unearthed from the tomb are as many as 5293 relics with 19 categories of bronze, gold, jade, stone, agate, material, bone, pottery, horn, animal teeth, mussels, reed, leather, wood, bamboo, linen, and silk etc. The relics are of the largest number with large size, unique shape and delicate craft, most of which are the best and rare to see. Some relics, such as the unearthed China’s First Iron Word, the Jade Mask, seven sets of Jade pendants, and the gold belts decorated with 12 gold-wares, filled in the gaps in the archaeological researches of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and thus were listed in China’s Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in 1990.
