Dongping County
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dongping County (Chinese: 东平县) is a county in Taian Prefecture of Shandong Province, China. In 2007 a remarkable series of well-preserved frescoes dating to the Western Han Period (206 BC - 25 AD) was discovered in a tomb as construction workers were excavating for a planned shopping mall. The frescoes show, among other things, one of the earliest pictorial representations of Confucius.
