A Northern Dynasty family cemetery was found in the Airport New City of Xixian New District, and a broken Shinto stele was excavated from the tomb number M3 during the excavation, and according to the clues of the inscription on the stele, it was determined that the tomb was the tomb of the famous historical figure Dou Luen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The reporter learned from the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau that the archaeological team has conducted a detailed investigation and archaeological drilling of the area, and confirmed that it is the most complete and orderly Northern Zhou Mingmen Family Cemetery found for the first time.

The Douluen Family Cemetery is composed of two parts, Zhaogou and the tomb body, and the overall plane of the Enclosed Part of Zhaogou is slightly rectangular from north to south, with a length of about 152 meters from north to south, a width of 135 meters from east to west, and an area of about 20,000 square meters in the cemetery. Located on the south side of the family tomb, the Doulun Tomb was originally the only tomb with a sealed earth, and now only a little bottom remains. Unearthed in the tomb passage is the long-lost douluen stele first stele, the stele is square, there is a mortise nest, the stele is embedded in the west wall of the tomb, the double dragon is wrapped in a circle, and the three columns of twelve characters in the guishou inner seal book in the middle are "Zhou Shaobao Youzhou Thorn Shi Dou Lu Gong Monument".

According to the "Chronicle of Weicheng District of Xianyang City", the Douluen Monument now stored in the Xianyang Confucian Temple is 192 cm high, 103 cm wide on the top, 112 cm wide at the bottom, and 28 cm thick. Yin carved Lishu 26 lines, 51 lines, a total of 1276 words, word diameter 3 cm. The inscription on the stele records that the tomb owner Dou Luen, the word Yongen, changli tuhe people. Originating from Murong Xianbei's clan, after Emperor Huan of Yan, his great-grandfather Murong Sheng changed his surname to Doulu (豆鲁氏), Zu Shifa (祖史華), father Cang (苌), and brother Dou Luning (dou luning). The inscription's account of his father and ancestor is consistent with the Zhou Shu Dou Luning. Dou Luen and his brother Dou Luning were important ministers of power in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, and the inscriptions of the brothers were written by the famous Northern Zhou scholar Yu Xin. Dou Luen participated in the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Battle of Shayuan, the Battle of Heqiao, and many times during the Northern Zhou Dynasty to quell the surrounding military rebellions, and his military achievements were outstanding in his lifetime, and after his death, he was given shaobao, Youji Ding, and other five states, youzhou thorn history, the title of Jinggong, and tianhe yuan (566) in February of the first year of tianhe (566) buried in Xianyang Hongduyuan.

The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Archaeological Institute told reporters that the Northern Zhou Douluen Family Cemetery discovered this time consists of a complete weigou and four family member tombs, and there are four family members buried in the weigou, spanning three generations of grandchildren. As the longest member of the family, Dou Lu'en's tomb is located in the south, and the tomb of Sun Dou Lujun is located in the far north, near the North Wai ditch. Between the tombs of the grandchildren, the tombs of the two sons, Dou Luhao and Dou Luzhen, are juxtaposed. It can be seen that the order of the elder and young tombs in the cemetery is that the more the tomb position is lowered with the decrease of generations. The cemetery began in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the first year, and was buried into the family members in turn, and continued until the sixth year of the kai emperor. The burial items are quite rich, with a variety of utensils, counting about 395 pieces (groups), with pastel gray pottery as the bulk, and it can be seen that there are equestrian figurines, samurai figurines, ceramic sculpture animals, ox carts, bronze mirrors, jade group pendants and living utensils.

Experts believe that the Doulu clan, as a humble and humble clan from the Northern Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, mostly intermarried with the royal family, and the political influence can be seen. At present, although there are not many Northern Zhou tombs with Zhaogou found on the Xianyang Plain, there are many family members buried in the cemetery at the same time, and it is rare to arrange them in the order of elder and young, and the excavation of the Douluen Family Cemetery is undoubtedly of great value to fill in the research data in this regard.
