Tomb of General Zu Dashou
The Tomb of General Zu Dashou (also known as the "Ming Tomb") is one of the earliest pieces in the Royal Ontario Museum’s collections, and on the museum's list of Iconic Objects.〔Derksen, Tessa (2010). Iconic: The Must-See Treasure of the ROM. Toronto: Royal Ontario Museum. p. 35. ISBN 978-0-88854-473-5.〕 In the early 20th century, Charles T. Currelly, the managing director of the museum at the time, was offered a chance to purchase a number of Chinese artifacts from George Crofts, a wealthy Chinese fur trader.〔"Toronto Feature: Royal Ontario Museum"().The Canadian Encyclopedia. Retrieved 13 July 2013〕
In 1921, the tomb and the associated artifacts arrived at the museum and became a focal point to the collection. Originally there was little provenance (or history) relating the artifacts to their long history and it was only suspected that this tomb belonged to General Zu. Research into the tomb and its history has continued over the decades. In 2005, curator Klaas Ruitenbeek’s research confirmed that the tomb was original built for and contained the remains of General Zu Dashou and his three wives.〔Ruitenbeek, Klaas. ("Iconic: Ming Tomb" ). Royal Ontario Museum. Retrieved 13 July 2013.〕
Today, the altar, stone burial mound, archway and other artifacts are arranged to replicate the burial area as it was found in Yongtai Village (near Beijing) in 1919. Other tombs in the complex suggest that this tomb was part of a family burial plot, as a number of his sons were buried near by.
==General Zu Dashou==
General Zu Dashou (; died 1656) bravery as a defender of the Ming dynasty earned him an esteemed place in Chinese history.〔Ruitenbeek, Klaas."Tomb of General Zu Dashou (Ming Tomb)" (The Louvre has the Mona Lisa. The British Museum, the Rosetta Stone. Herewith, 15 of the ROM's own must-see artifacts ). ROM Magazine. 22 June 2008.〕 His story, however, is not without tragedy. In 1631, the general gave the enemy army one of his loyal sons as a hostage in hopes to speed up negotiations and relieve the people of Dalinghe of constant warfare. By the time the Ming dynasty fell in 1644, a number of the general’s sons had switched loyalties. In 1656, the exiled general died and construction on his tomb began. The scale of the tomb is an indication of respect and esteem General Zu held even amongst his enemies.
