Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Group Site The Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Group Site is located next to Dashanpu Town, about 11 kilometers northeast of Zigong City, Sichuan Province. It is a site rich in dinosaurs and other vertebrates from the Middle Jurassic 160 million years ago. The fossil site is the most important dinosaur fossil burial site in my country and one of the most important paleontological fossil burial sites in the world. The site was first discovered in 1972. It was first excavated in 1977 and a relatively complete sauropod skeleton was obtained. In 1979, a large number of fossils were exposed due to infrastructure construction. From 1979 to 1984, three large-scale cleanups and excavations were organized, and tens of thousands of fossil skeleton specimens of more than 200 individuals of dinosaurs and other vertebrates were obtained within an area of ??about 2,800 square meters, from which dinosaurs, fish, and amphibians have been studied and named. There are 21 species in 18 genera including turtles, turtles, crocodiles, pterosaurs, and mammal-like reptiles. It is estimated that the entire fossil cluster is buried in an area of ??about 17,000 square meters and contains more than 100,000 fossil bones. It is known as the "dinosaur cemetery". In the mid-1980s, my country's first large-scale dinosaur site museum, the Zigong Dinosaur Museum, was built on the site. The Dashanpu dinosaur fossil group site has the characteristics of huge fossil reserves, complete categories, concentrated burial, and complete preservation. As a rare natural historical heritage, the fossils it produces not only have important science education and tourism value, but also fill the gap in the lack of early-middle Jurassic dinosaur fossil materials in the history of dinosaur evolution, and are important for the study of dinosaurs and their The systematic evolution, physiological characteristics, and living environment of related ancient animals are of great scientific value. The Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Group Site is located next to the Nei (Jiang) Le (Shan) Highway, connected to the Nei (Jiang) Yi (Bin) Expressway and the Nei (Jiang) Kun (Ming) Railway respectively with the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway and the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway. It also passes through this place and has an exit and a train station respectively. The place is 202 kilometers away from Chengdu and 204 kilometers away from Chongqing, with convenient transportation. 3. Zigong Dinosaur Museum: The dinosaur fossil excavation site in Dashanpu, the northeastern suburb of Zigong City, 11 kilometers away from Zigong City. It is another large-scale on-site museum in my country after the Banpo Site and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang. The first phase of the museum covers an area of ??25,000 square meters, with a construction area of ??6,000 square meters. It is divided into three parts: library building, green belt and ancillary buildings. The main building contains a fossil burial hall, a central hall, a fossil mounting exhibition hall, a lecture hall and a dinosaur ecological environment hall. The dinosaur burial site covers an area of ??1,900 square meters. It can be seen that the bones of various dinosaurs are intertwined and distributed in the nearly horizontally extending sandstone layer. It is the epitome of a huge dinosaur cemetery. In the mounting hall, there are the nearly 10-meter-tall "Tianfu Emeisaurus" and a combination of restored skeletons of several dinosaurs, as well as specimens of ancient vertebrate fossils. The shape of the museum is made of piles of natural sandstone blocks, which makes the entire building harmonious with the dinosaur excavation site. It has a novel concept, unique shape and fascinating appearance. Hundreds of fossils of various dinosaurs and associated creatures have been excavated in Dashanpu, forming a complete "dinosaur fauna".

It includes genera and species of 3 classes, 11 orders, and 15 families, including terrestrial, aquatic, amphibian, and flying ancient vertebrates; there are 20-meter-long herbivorous long-necked sauropods, There are ferocious carnivorous dinosaurs and numerous and complete short-necked sauropods, as well as ornithopods that are only 14 meters long. The most precious ones are the earliest Middle Jurassic Stegosaurus excavated in the world and the first discovered pterosaur, which fill a gap in the history of dinosaur evolution. Zigong Dinosaur Museum was rated as one of the "Top 40 Tourist Attractions in China". The Zigong Museum is as famous as the U.S. National Dinosaur Park and the Canadian Dinosaur Park, and is collectively known as the world's three largest dinosaur museums. Zigong Dinosaur Museum is located in Dashanpu, Zigong City, Sichuan Province. Exhibition Hall on the First Floor of the Dinosaur Museum - Dinosaur Sites Zigong, Sichuan is an important source of dinosaur fossils in my country. The terrestrial strata of the Jurassic period (135 million to 210 million years ago) in this area were quite developed. Dinosaur fossils are buried in the early and middle Jurassic terrestrial layers. The dinosaur fossils of this period are the most popular ones in the world's dinosaur research. Therefore, Zigong’s dinosaur fossils provide a wealth of critical raw data for the world to study the evolution of dinosaurs. According to geological surveys, during the Jurassic period, the Zigong area was an open lakeside area with a hot climate, luxuriant water plants, and towering trees. It was an ideal living place for dinosaurs, while Dashanpu was a calm sandy shoal where they died. and the dinosaur carcasses carried by the river from a distance were all buried by the sand on the shoal. The accumulation of corpses and the burial of sediments alternated for a long period of time. After a long period of one to two hundred million years of accumulation, the fossil-bearing sandstone layers seen today were finally formed. The appearance of the Dinosaur Museum is very much like a huge cave, with a unique and beautiful shape. It is another large-scale professional on-site museum built in my country after Xi'an Banpo Museum and Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. It covers an area of ??25,000 square meters, with a display area of ??3,600 square meters, and is divided into three floors. The display mainly focuses on the dinosaur fossil burial site and unearthed dinosaur fossils in Dashanpu. The exhibition is divided into three parts: The first part focuses on basic knowledge related to dinosaurs, such as biological evolution, fossils, geological time, evolution and classification of dinosaurs, etc. The second part mainly introduces various dinosaur fossils in Dashanpu. They are displayed in the tall and spacious mounting hall, where there are several complete dinosaur fossil skeletons, among which "Tianfu Emeisaurus" is the most eye-catching behemoth in the hall. Its head is supported by a slender neck, about 10 meters above the ground, and its whole body is about 20 meters long. It has a thick body and a long tail. It stands on all fours with its head held high. In addition to the "Tianfu Emei Dragon" in the hall, there is also the skeleton of a ferocious "Construction Air Dragon" that can eat the "Tianfu Emei Dragon", but its whole body is only four or five meters long. Others include the sauropod dinosaur that is both progressive and primitive - Shusaurus lishii, the small-bodied ornithopod dinosaur that walks on two legs - Yandusaurus polytooth, and the early relatively primitive Stegosaurus - Taibai Huayang Dragons, dragons flying in the air and ferocious carnivorous plesiosaurs swimming in the water, etc. The third part is the dinosaur burial site. A large area of ??excavation site is shown here. The picture on the left is "Tianfu Emeisaurus" [click to enlarge] and check out the museum's introduction to it. In 1979, a group of dinosaur caves was discovered in Daxianpu, Zigong. After sorting, it was found that there are more than 200 individual dinosaurs, including 18 relatively complete skeletons. , so many dinosaurs were found in one cave, which immediately attracted the attention of the world. Later, a large number of precious dinosaur fossils were unearthed one after another, becoming a rare treasure house of dinosaur fossils. So far, more than 70 dinosaur fossils have been excavated in Zigong. According to geological surveys, this was once the "Elysian World" of dinosaurs. During the Jurassic period, the Zigong area was an open lakeside area with a hot climate and luxuriant water and grass. It was an ideal living place for dinosaurs, while Dashanpu was a calm sandy shoal where animals that died and were carried by the river from a distance The dinosaur carcasses that came were buried in the sand on the shallows. The accumulation of corpses and the burial of sediments alternated for a long period of time. After a long period of one to two hundred million years of accumulation, the fossil-bearing sandstone layers seen today were finally formed. Zigong Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Site is located 11 kilometers northeast of Zigong city center. After investigation, the fossil-rich area of ??Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Site reaches 17,000 square meters, which is divided into 3 to 4 small layers. Nearly a hundred individual dinosaur fossils and more than 30 complete and relatively complete skeletons were unearthed in just two areas of more than 800 square meters. Its dinosaur fauna includes 3 classes, 11 orders, 15 families, and nearly 20 species, and a number of precious companion animal fossils have been unearthed. Many of the fossils in this group are new genera and new species, including the 20-meter-long Asia's second-longest dragon, herbivorous long-necked sauropods, ferocious carnivorous dinosaurs, short-bodied ornithopods and extremely rare The primitive Stegosaurus is extremely rare in strata of the same geological age at home and abroad. In 1987, the largest dinosaur natural museum in Asia was built at the excavation site of Dashanpu dinosaur fossil site. It is one of the three largest dinosaur museums in the world after the United States and Canada, and is known as the "Oriental Dragon Palace". The main building of the museum looks like a pile of yellow boulders from a distance. It complements the surrounding remaining plants of the Mesozoic Era, giving people an impression of ancient times. Entering through the gate, one step crosses millions of years and enters the age of distant stone dinosaurs. What you see in front of you is a spectacular prehistoric scene: the basement of the central hall and the fossil burial hall. Numerous animal remains resemble those that were brutally killed and buried alive. "Wanlong Pit". All fossils remain in their original burial condition, and this magical natural landscape is breathtaking.

In addition, many fossils of fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals were found at the excavation site. These fossils have also been sorted and displayed in the knowledge hall and specimen exhibition hall of the museum, showing the ecological appearance of the Jurassic dinosaur animal community. 4. Xi Qin Guild Hall Xi Qin Guild Hall is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The temple is named Wusheng Palace. It is mainly dedicated to Guandi Temple. It is also called Guandi Temple and is commonly known as Shaanxi Temple. In the early Qing Dynasty, Shaanxi businessmen came from Liujing to operate the salt industry and made a fortune. In order to "reveal the nostalgia" and show luxury and wealth, construction started in the first year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1736), which lasted 16 years and was completed in the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign (1752). In the seventh to eighth years of Daoguang reign (1827-1828), large-scale repairs and expansions were carried out. "The old site was expanded by more than ten feet, and a new main hall was built on the mountain." square meters. This is a relatively typical Chinese building, with a combination of planes, an overall square shape, an emphasis on symmetry, and a clear central axis. The main buildings are arranged on the central axis, surrounded by corridors, walls and other buildings to form five large and small courtyard groups with depth, levels and splendor. 5.

Fushun Confucian Temple Fushun Confucian Temple was established as a county in the second year of Tianhe, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, to the early Northern Song Dynasty (567-960). Due to its location on the border and mixed residences of bureaucrats, the salt industry was prosperous but the literary style was not developed. In the third year of Jingyou's reign (1036), Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court sent Zhou Yanjun, a famous scholar with a Ph.D. from Taichang, to Fushun as a magistrate. He worked hard to promote education, run schools, and cultivate scholars. In the sixth year of his tenure, that is, the second year of Qingli (1042), Fushun County finally produced its first Jinshi-Li Mian, and all the people in the county were happy and rejoiced. Under Zhou Yanjun's initiative, people raised funds to build a Confucian temple at the south gate of the county center in the fourth year of Qingli (1044), dedicated to Confucius. It was called the "Wenxuanwang Temple" at that time. A stone "Yanta Stele" was erected in the temple to engrave the names of all the candidates who had passed the examination in the county. After that, he successively served as magistrate of Fushun, all of whom were enthusiastic about education and served as professors of Confucianism. After working in politics, they often came to the temple to give lectures to the students, so their writing style flourished. In the Song Dynasty, there were 67 Jinshi whose names were inscribed on Yanta. 8.
