Police in north China's Shanxi Province have repatriated a precious bronze plate, a long-lost cultural relic, local authorities announced Saturday. The Jin bronze plate, dating back to the Spring and Autumn period (770 BC - 476 BC), had changed hands in many provinces before being sold overseas. It took police months to identify the location of the lost treasure and related tomb raiders and smugglers.
