Suzhou, since ancient times, has been a rich place in Jiangnan. But the standard of living is still verified by excavated cultural relics.
In 1964, an ancient tomb was excavated, the tomb of Zhang Shicheng's mother Cao Shi, known locally as the Tomb of Yuan Niangniang. Zhang Shicheng was the leader of the peasant revolt at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was defeated in a major battle with Zhu Yuanzhang for Jiangshan. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, so the Cao clan was a Member of the Yuan Dynasty. The cultural relics unearthed in her tomb represent the level of Jiangnan craftsmanship in the Yuan Dynasty.
I don't know Zhang Shicheng, only that he lost to Zhu Yuanzhang. But after watching "Ping Trace Hero Shadow" with his back, Zhang Danfeng should be his grandson. Zhang Danfeng's grandfather, who is chivalrous and tender, is naturally not annoying.
Zhang Shicheng was crowned king in Suzhou, and his mother Cao Shi was not an ordinary aristocratic old lady, and the burial items in her tomb should be the best at that time.
Cultural relics excavated from Cao's tomb are exhibited in the Suzhou Museum.
