Jade Tiger Skull Huang Neolithic (about 5500 years ago)
Is this jade tiger head-shaped huang cute? One end of the juan is tiger's head, the eye is represented by a drill hole, and the other end is a side of the drilled round hole and groove, and the other half of the juan should be connected to it.
This jade tiger head-shaped huang was excavated from the site of Lingjiatan in Hanshan Mountain. Located in Hanshan County, Anhui Province, with Taihu Mountain in the north and Yuxi River in the south, the Lingjiatan Ruins of Hanshan Mountain in Anhui Province have a total area of about 2.2 million square meters, and are a central settlement site of the late Neolithic period dating back about 5,500 years. A large number of exquisite jade and stone tools excavated from the Lingjiatan site indicate that it was an important jade-making center in the late Neolithic period of the mainland, and was listed as the three major jade cultural centers in china along with the Hongshan culture in the LiaoHe River Basin and the Liangzhu culture in the Taihu Lake area.
The Lingjiatan site is an important representative site of the dawning stage of Chinese civilization and one of the empirical evidences of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. In 2001, it was listed by the State Council as the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In 2021, the Lingjiatan site was selected as one of the top 100 archaeological discoveries in the country.
In the New Year of the Tiger, the Jade Tiger Shou-shaped Huang invites you to walk into the Anhui Museum and feel the long and splendid Chinese civilization!
