The discovery of Liangzhu civilization shocked the whole world, but few people know that Liangzhu refers to the civilization that once existed in the Taihu Lake basin in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in southern China from 5,300 to 4,300 years ago, in order to dig up this pearl that has been dusty for more than 80 years. ? The site with Liangzhu ancient city as the core is the center of Liangzhu civilization. Its discovery can be traced back to 1936. At that time, a black pottery was found in the stone of Zhejiang West Lake Museum during archaeological excavation. He felt that similar black pottery had been found in Liangzhu, his hometown. So he hurried back to Liangzhu to inspect the cultural relics. Under his supervision, hundreds of black pottery, stone tools, jade and other cultural relics were unearthed in Liangzhu. This? Small? Discovery, officially unveiled a corner of Liangzhu site. However, with the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the second year, the excavation and research of Liangzhu site had to be interrupted.

To make matters worse, during the Anti-Japanese War, Shi Xin moved south with the West Lake Museum. ? He was short of medicine and medicine, and finally fell ill and died at the age of 27. The torch of civilization was passed to Liang Siyong and Dong Zuobin, archaeological institutions. At the invitation of Shi, Liang Siyong and Dong Zuobin went to the excavation site to inspect Liangzhu site, and highly affirmed the value of this discovery. 1939, Mr Liang Siyong inspected Liangzhu site. After comparative study, he thinks that the pottery unearthed from Liangzhu site is mainly black pottery similar to Longshan culture, and puts forward that Liangzhu site belongs to Longshan culture in Hangzhou Bay. ?

This conclusion dominated the field of archaeology for nearly 20 years until the end of 1950s. ? It was not until 1957 that Xia Nai, one of the founders of modern archaeology in China, proposed:? Zhejiang black pottery is easy to dry and fade, and there is no standard Longshan culture eggshell pottery in Shandong. In addition to round feet, tool modeling also has a large number of round bottoms. In Longshan culture in Shandong, there are few flat-bottomed vessels. Tao Guifa is rare and not a standard Longshan culture. ? Just completely overturned the previous argument. Two years later, he formally proposed? Liangzhu culture? This new name shows that Liangzhu is an archaeological culture with its own evolution and development order, which is completely different from Longshan culture. After putting forward this concept, experts began to investigate its origin and put forward it in 1975 and 1979? Majiabang culture? And then what? Zhangze culture? The name of.

Finally, through the accumulation of Cao Yueshan in Wuxian (now Wuzhong District, Suzhou), archaeologists determined the development order of three major cultures: Majiabang culture, Songze culture and Liangzhu culture. However, Liangzhu culture has unearthed some cultural relics, but? Top ten archaeological discoveries? There was no great achievement in this period, and the research on this period only stayed on the understanding of its cultural connotation. Finally, in 1986, the situation was broken and Liangzhu culture had its own? Representative? .
