He reigned as emperor for only 27 days before being deposed, yet around 115 kilograms of gold have been excavated from his tomb in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province.
The treasures from the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun are on display at the Nanchang Relic Museum for Haihun Principality of Han Dynasty, giving visitors a glimpse of the riches of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-25 AD).
Marquis Liu He (92-59 BC) was the grandson of Emperor Wu. After being overthrown by powerful ministers, he was given the title of Haihunhou as he was exiled to Haihun, now Nanchang. The treasures of his tomb are evidence of his wealthy life. Over 10,000 cultural relics have been found at the ruins, including real horse carriages and a record 478 gold objects.
It is believed that the number of gold artifacts there exceeds those unearthed in all the Han Dynasty tombs in China combined.
