For example, in 2000, the family courtyard of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in 1997, the Zhengzhou nail factory, and in 1986, the "tile" materials that were thought to be from the Shang Dynasty were unearthed at the Zhengzhou workstation of the Henan Province Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology. The excavated people believed that the shape of the tile was similar to that of the tile after the Western Zhou Dynasty and was unearthed near the base of the palace area.
