(Airdate: December 10, 2024) We’re visiting an underground tomb just north of the garrison town of Wuwei in Gansu Province. That is where China’s famous bronze horse was found in 1969. The tomb itself is not all that noteworthy except that, being it’s the grave of a Han Dynasty general. and there’s a shrine on top of the grave mound in honor of Leigong, the Duke of Thunder. This is where officials came to pray for rain or for victory against the Huns. On our way back we passed a pagoda, whose bells sang in the wind and told us a story.
