Still Waters Posted August 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Archaeologists in China’s Jiangxi Province have announced that they’ve discovered the tomb of Tang Xianzu, the nation's most famous playwright often described as “China’s Shakespeare,” reports Xinhua news agency. The tomb is one of 42 Ming-era graves dating between 1368 A.D. to 1644 A.D. discovered in Fuzhou, in the eastern region of Jiangxi, in late 2016. Six epitaphs thought to be written by Tang found in the burial plot have led archaeologists to believe the writer, who died in 1616, and his third wife Fu are buried in a tomb designated "M4" while his second wife, Zhao is in tomb "M3." http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/grave-chinas-shakespeare-has-been-found-180964676/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
