"some forced their retinue of servants to follow them into death."

Sounds like a good way to insure that your servants don't get any ideas - Probably more effective than a food tester.

“The Chinese premodern state was built upon sacrifice,...”

The tomb was discovered in January 2007 after police caught looters plundering the site...

They weren't looters, they were just trying to slip a menu under the door.

What they are talking about here is not really “sacrifice” because it is not an offering to the gods. It is just the dying man’s desire to have company and to make his death a significant event.
