The discovery of Emperor Yang’s tombs was regarded as one of China’s top 10 new archaeological finds in 2013. More than 400 relics were unearthed, including an epitaph, a set of phoenix coronet, and a belt with 13 rings made of jade and gold. In 2019, the imperial mausoleum site was designated by the State Council as a major cultural heritage site under national-level protection.
