  关于妇好(About Fu Hao):

  妇好是商王武丁的王后,其时代距今大约3200年。妇好的事迹在甲骨卜辞有较多记载:对外,她是一名骁勇女将,立下赫赫战功,为武丁中兴、殷商盛世做出了贡献,是中国历史上有据可查的第一位女将;对内,她是王后,诞育王位继承人,协助武丁安抚贵族势力,主持大型祭祀,一力维护商王朝的形象和民望。

  Fu Hao (Hao is the surname and Fu means a woman in Chinese), was a female legend from 3,000 years ago. She was one of the many wives of King Wu Ding and, unusually for that time, also served as a military general and high priestess.

  关于妇好墓(About Fu Hao Tomb):

  1976年在殷墟发现的妇好墓,是目前已发掘的唯一保存完整的商代王室墓葬,出土了多达1928件随葬器物,在中国考古史、殷商史研究领域具有里程碑的意义。

  The tomb of Fu Hao, discovered in 1976, is the only Shang Dynasty royal tomb that has been preserved intact. There are 1,928 precious relics excavated from the tomb, which reflect the highly-developed level of crafting and social development at the end of the Shang Dynasty.
