Lijiashan

Lijiashan is an archaeological cemetery near Jiangchuan in central Yunnan, China, belonging to the Dian culture. Excavated from 1972, its tombs, dating from about the Warring States period to the Han dynasty, yielded bronze drums, weapons, cowrie containers and ornaments, among them the well-known bronze ox-and-tiger table. With Shizhaishan it is a principal source for the art and society of the Dian kingdom.
