History
Dingzhou was originally known as Lunu in early imperial China. A tomb about 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) southwest of Dingzhou from 55–8 BCE was discovered and excavated in 1973. It contained several fragments of Han literature, including manuscripts of Confucius's Analects, the Taoist Wenzi, and the Six Secret Teachings, a military treatise. Four further manuscripts remain unpublished. The identity of the tomb's occupant is unknown, but Chinese archaeologists have speculated that it belonged to one of two kings of the Zhongshan fiefdom under the Former Han dynasty: either Liu Xiu or Liu Xing.
