The tombs of Du Jiang and his wife (nee Zhai) located on the Bi Plateau in Yongshou Township (of the Tang Dynasty) seven li to the south of the Tang Chang'an City were excavated in 2012. Both of the tombs were single-chamber earthen cave tombs in L-shaped plan with ramp passage and tunnel-shaped corridor, and yielded very few grave goods. The epitaph showed that both the couple passed away at their home in Yining Ward of the Tang Chang'an City;Du Jiang died nine years earlier than his wife and buried in the same graveyard but different graves. These two tombs bore exact dates, which provided new data for the researches on the history and archaeology of the Tang Dynasty.%杜江及夫人翟氏墓位于唐代长安城南七里永寿乡毕原,发掘于2012年。两墓皆为斜坡墓道带甬道的刀形单室土洞墓,出土器物较少。据墓志记载,二人皆终于长安义宁里私第,杜江先于夫人九年而卒,卒后同茔异穴合葬。两座墓葬纪年明确,为唐代历史考古研究提供了新资料。
