Guanmiaoshan

The site of Guanmiao Mountain is located in Guanmiao Village, Wen 'an Town, 0.5km northeast of zhijiang city165438. It is a primitive village site in Neolithic Age, covering an area of over 40,000 square meters, with a cultural accumulation of over 1 meter. According to the determination of carbon-14, its cultural connotation has the typical characteristics of Daxi culture from 5000 to 6000 years ago, and it was named "Guanmiao Mountain Type" by experts from the Institute of Archaeology of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Guanmiao Mountain Site has been announced by Hubei Provincial People's Government as a key cultural relic protection unit. The site of Guanmiao Mountain was discovered during the construction of water conservancy project in 1977. At that time, the Hubei team of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the provincial and municipal cultural relics and archaeology departments attached great importance and interest, and immediately carried out a key excavation of the site. Among the more than 2,000 square meters excavated, more than 5,000 cultural relics were unearthed.

These cultural relics can be roughly divided into two categories: one is stone tools for production. The variety is complete and finely polished. There are stone axes, Shi Mao, stone shovels, stone chisels, stone nets, etc., which are not only suitable for different production purposes at that time, but also can be seen that the production mode of the ancestors of Guanmiao Mountain has changed from gathering, fishing and hunting to planting and breeding. In particular, the stone pestle, pottery dustpan and rice husk mixed in the soil were unearthed, which further confirmed that the people of Guanmiaoshan at that time had planted a certain scale of japonica rice. The other is pottery, which is very rich. There are storage devices such as kettle, cylinder and urn; There are pottery baskets, net pendants, spinning wheels and other tools; There are also handicrafts such as turtles, balls and bells for children to play with, as well as urns and coffins for burying dead babies. These pottery are suitable for all aspects of human life, and the shapes of many daily necessities are almost the same as those of modern daily necessities. Especially painted pottery and eggshell pottery are exquisite, unique in shape, fine in workmanship, natural in color and simple in decoration. Some pottery tires are as thin as eggshells, which are light and comfortable to hold in your hand. These various kinds of pottery are closely related to the staple food rice of our ancestors at that time, and they are the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of our ancestors.

10 square and rectangular primitive tribal houses were also excavated from the site. There are ground buildings and semi-crypt buildings; The houses are all sloping on the grass, and the walls are made of bamboo and covered with soil. Due to the abundant rain and high groundwater level in Zhijiang area, the ancestors of Guanmiao Mountain considered the moisture-proof problem in the construction, barbecued the foundation cushion and mud wall with fire, and paved the apron slope around the wall root. Archaeologists spoke highly of the original house building in Guanmiao Mountain, believing that the building technology here has already possessed the basic characteristics of southern architecture.

The cultural connotation of this site is extremely rich, not only belonging to Daxi culture, but also overlapping between Qujialing culture layer and Shijiahe culture layer. It is a famous primitive village site in the Yangtze River Basin, which once again proves that the Yangtze River Basin, like the Yellow River Basin, is the cradle of the Chinese nation. The archaeological achievements of this site have been included in Encyclopedia of China and Archaeological Discovery and Harvest in New China. [8]
