Tuanshan Ruins: National Key Protection Unit
It is mainly distributed in the Kaiyuan Lijiatai and Badeshu areas in the upper reaches of the Qing River Basin, and the main representative sites are tuanshan ruins. In 2013, the Tuanshan site was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Part of the tombs of the Xifeng Donggou Tomb Group
Representative tombs are the remains of several Tombs of the Qi ethnic group, such as Xifeng Donggou, ZhenxinXin, and Fishing Xiaoyuyingtun.
Tuanshan ruins are a typical Bronze Age cultural site in the east of Tieling, where most of the pottery found here are beans and pots, and the table decorations are poked and pointed, reflecting the popular fashion of the society at that time.
Artifacts commonly found in bronze age sites in eastern Tieling are pottery beans and clay pots, which played a very important role during this period.
Beans are commonly used in people's daily lives around 2500 years ago. There is an explanation that the bean plate is higher, and when the ancients sacrificed, it was convenient for the gods to use, and later it became a ceremonial vessel, which was used to hold meat sacrifices to the heavens; another explanation said that the ancients did not have a table when eating, sat on the ground, and used beans as an instrument to carry food for convenience.
In ancient times, pots were not only utensils for water, wine or grain.
It later evolved into an entertainment device. The game is to hold a bamboo or wooden long stick, throw it into the pot, and determine the winner by the number. This form of entertainment called "throwing pots" is still popular in some Asian countries, which shows that the influence is far-reaching.
During this period, there were also a number of mountain castles in northern Liaoning, indicating that mergers and plunders between tribes often occurred at that time. This kind of mountain city relies on many dangerous tigers and horns, and the design highlights wisdom.
