Jinan Daxinzhuang site Shang Dynasty tombSum225, M256 excavation briefing In 2010, a number of important) relics and relics were found during the excavation of the Daxinzhuang site, of which the late Shang Dynasty tombs M225 and M256 were similar in shape, larger in scale and higher in grade. Both tombs have martyrs and dogs, and bronze ceremonial vessels such as dings, yao, and knights have been unearthed, and bronze weapons such as ge, spear, and hammer have been unearthed. The excavation of the two tombs has enriched the materials of the third phase of the Yin Ruins culture at the site, and the discovery of the clan emblem inscription has also provided new materials for the study of clan organizations and clan relations in the Shang Dynasty.
Erlitou cultural white pottery Research Erlitou cultural white pottery is the result of indirect influence and innovative development of Haidai white pottery, but the social function has weakened. The second phase of the Erlitou culture reached its peak in the white pottery of the Central Plains, and the mode of production at this time was "semi-state-owned handicraft industry", which subsequently evolved into "non-state-owned handicraft industry". By the Erligang culture, white pottery further declined, but the YinXu culture period was briefly revived. Although the original Zhongyuan white pottery has developed roughly continuously, there are significant fractures, which is the result of the ancestors' choice of whether and how to use white pottery.
Shang Zhou bronze injector re-identification of the two types of copper injectors in the Shang Zhou period can be divided into four stages of development, and is basically consistent with the overall development trend of copper containers. By investigating the subordinate combination of copper injectors and copper containers in tombs, and combining paleographic data, the two types of copper injectors can be named "buckets" and "spoons" respectively, the former for drinking wine, and the latter for scooping water. Their morphology and function were obviously different from the late Shang to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and gradually became similar after the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. In addition, a special type of wine collection vessel was identified.
