As I grade papers, I notice several of the students marked where Tsui Ning and his bride were exiled -- Tanzhou 潭州. This is the ancient place name for what is today Changsha, the Hunan capital where Mao Zedong grew up.
Mawangdui, the great 1970s archaeological dig, is also near by, I suppose, because these gorgeous dancing figures from the site are on display at the Changsha Provincial Museum.
