Xiao Shi himself was not a student of archaeology, but he was very talented, and he immediately became keenly aware of his hometown, Liangzhu Town, Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province, which was also called Yuhang County at the time, and now Yuhang District of Hangzhou City, and he immediately realized that his hometown contained significant archaeological resources. So he returned to his hometown, and he tried to excavate about 13 sites with a shovel, and excavated a large number of black pottery sites, which were named Liangzhu Ruins.

However, soon after the outbreak of the Japanese invasion war, the archaeological work was forced to shelve for nearly half a century. It wasn't until the 1980s that archaeologists went back to seriously excavating the Liangzhu site, and the excavation was unmanageable.
Liangzhu Ancient Kingdom
On a hill called Anti-Mountain, the archaeological team measured it with an instrument and found that it was a man-made earthen platform, and then dug up a royal-sized cemetery with exquisite jade, as well as a sacrifice platform and an astronomical observatory.

On a hill called Anti-Mountain, the archaeological team measured it with an instrument and found that it was a man-made earthen platform, and then dug up a royal-sized cemetery with exquisite jade, as well as a sacrifice platform and an astronomical observatory.
It turns out that this is a huge city from 5300 to 4300 years ago, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, and with this city as the center, it radiates out an area of more than 36,000 square kilometers, and the area of human activity relics is similar to that of belgium, which is similar to the current European country of Belgium. The urban planning of Liangzhu City is perfect, and this piece covers an area of 390,000 square meters and is 9 meters high above the Liangzhu King City. It is larger than half of the Forbidden City in Beijing and a 6-kilometer-long wall, dividing the city into inner and outer cities. There are well-ranked aristocratic residential areas in the city, as well as ordinary citizens' residential areas, not only the places where the living live are hierarchical, but even the cemeteries are hierarchical. There are cemeteries of princes and nobles, cemeteries of the middle class, and low-grade cemeteries of ordinary citizens.

This is obviously a hierarchical society with a strict division of labor and classes, and it is not a Neolithic, so-called primitive communist indigenous community.
At the same time as the discovery of the ruins of Zhucheng, archaeologists also found a huge network of water conservancy projects, as many as 11 dams, including valley mouths, high dams, plains and long embankments in front of the mountains, etc., these dams in the outskirts of Liangzhu City and valley areas constitute high dam reservoir areas, and in low-lying places constitute reservoir areas.

These two reservoir areas are well able to cope with flash floods from the mountainous areas north of the city, that is, the Dasha Mountain, even if it rains continuously 870 mm, they can easily cope with it, and their water storage capacity is 4 times that of Hangzhou's West Lake.
In addition to the flood control projects on the outskirts of the city, the two owners also built the same canal network as Venice in the city, the city waterways are accessible in all directions, 8 of the 9 city gates are water gates, only one is the overland city and there are docks and trestles, the transportation in the city is mainly the boat archaeology team, and really found that the indoor traffic boats of more than 5,000 years ago were grown into such canoes.

American archaeologist Scarborough after seeing this grand site, he believes that Liangzhu is the oldest national society in eastern Asia, its infrastructure also exceeds the contemporaries of Egypt in North Africa and sumer in the Middle East, especially Liangzhu water conservancy project, which was absolutely the world's premier more than 5,000 years ago, in the Sumerian civilization of Uruk City, although it will also dig water areas to divert water to irrigate farmland, but the complexity of these projects is far lower than that of Liangzhu, Moreover, the Liangzhu project predates the Chinese legendary Dayu Zhishui by 1,000 years.
Jade culture ancestor
Liangzhu people not only have a superb architectural level, but also a first-class aesthetic. A variety of jade artifacts have been unearthed from the Liangzhu Royal Family Cemetery, including Jade Bi, Jade Emperor Jade Cong, and Jade Le. Among them, Yucong represents divine power, and Yule represents royal power and monarchy. Archaeologist Liu Bin believes that Liangzhu's jade ceremonial system is the ancestor of China's jade culture, it is currently known as the representative of the earliest jade culture system, the later Xia Shang Zhou are inheriting this set of ceremonial system, Zhou Li said to be in the bulkhead ceremony, the sky to the locust in the ground, is the technology of this system, Liangzhu people's jade craft level is also very high, the hardness of jade is relatively high, but Liangzhu people can carve this pattern on a jade 3 to 4 cm square, in a small space of one millimeter wide can be carved 5 ~ 6 stripes.

This pattern is very common in Liangzhu jade, which is a sacred beast called piaoxiao recorded in the Shan Hai Jing, which is actually a taoti (taoti) that we are all very familiar with.
So this pattern badge is actually a gluttonous pattern, and by the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty a thousand years later, this gluttonous pattern has become the most popular element, which can be seen on various bronzes.

Archaeologists can't help but ask, did the developed Liangzhu civilization jump out of the cracks in the stones? Where is its origin? No one has been able to answer this question definitively
