Lingshou
Lingshou was the capital of the state of Zhongshan from about 380 BCE until its conquest by Zhao in 296 BCE. Its remains lie near Pingshan in Hebei, China, where excavations since the 1970s have uncovered city walls, workshops and royal tombs, including the tomb of King Cuo with its celebrated bronzes. The name survives in present-day Lingshou County.
