Come to the museum of Anhui Province to see these cultural relics
There were many interesting cultural relics in Anhui Province museum. Among them, the large green glazed jar with dragon patterns was a cultural relic of the Song Dynasty. There was also the cloud pattern copper five-pillar ware. Because there were no inscriptions on it and the shape of the ware was not found in archaeological materials, it was named according to the method of " decoration + shape." Although its use was not clear, its unique shape and exquisite craftsmanship made it a treasure among ancient bronze ware. The Chu Dading was a bronze ware from the Warring States Period and had a rich history. In 1958, Chairman Mao had observed it during his inspection. Moreover, this tripod was the prototype of the "National Public Sacrifice Tripod" of the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. In 2002, it was listed as one of the first cultural relics in China that was banned from going abroad.

They would also carry out on-the-spot investigations on 294 immovable cultural relics in the entire region, thoroughly investigate them, and report basic data.

Nanyang Cultural Relics and Archeology
Nanyang's archaeological work had many important results. For example, in the archaeological excavation of the Baliqiao site, the Baliqiao site was located in Chengzhuang Village, Zheyang Street, Fangcheng County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, on the west bank of Pan River. This site was the largest and highest-level Erlitou cultural settlement discovered in southern Henan. It was a large-scale moat settlement, around 3700 - 3600 years ago, with an excavated area of 1.35 million square meters. There were many ditch relics crisscrossing and orderly planning in the site, showing a "multi-grid" layout similar to Erlitou site, as well as wall and handicraft relics, including rammed earth building area, handicraft area, wall, roads and other facilities. The functional division was complete. The unearthed relics were basically the same as those of Erlitou Ruins, and they were highly similar in terms of political concepts, value systems, and religious beliefs. The site was formed in the second phase of the Erlitou culture, which was a critical period when the Xia culture began to expand outward. The Xia culture crossed the Fangcheng Pass and entered the Nanyang Basin to build a settlement. This was the key throat connecting the hinterland of the Central Plains and the Jianghan Plain. It was an important safety guarantee for the southern copper mines, turquoise, cinnabar, and other mineral resources to enter the king's city. It was also an important hub for the transfer and control of resources in Erlitou. It was of great value to the study of Erlitou culture's southward spread and the Xia culture's control over the southern land, especially the control of resources. The discovery of multi-grid layout filled the gaps in the internal spatial layout of the small and medium-sized cities in the Xia Dynasty. In the archaeological work of Nanyang, the Henan Province Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology and the Nanyang Institute of Cultural Relics Protection participated in it. Many archaeologists carried out excavation, drawing, observation of soil samples, etc. at the Baliqiao site, unearthed high-level relics such as jade articles, divination bones, turquoise inlaid pieces, copper smelting remains, etc., and also discovered cultural relics such as painted vermilion stone portraits. Moreover, famous cultural relics and archaeologists would also go to the Baliqiao site to conduct research, check the archaeological layout, and analyze the relics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
