Yuhui Village site is located in the western suburbs of Anhui Province, Tushan Southern Foothills, through continuous archaeological excavations, experts believe that the name of the village of "Yuhui Village" can be traced back to more than 4,000 years ago, after seeing this news, there is a question: Is Yuhui Village the hometown of Dayu? In the process of cleaning up the site, experts found a lot of evidence that Yuhui Village is the hometown of Dayu, but the most probative is this cultural relic, what is this cultural relic? Today, Xiaobian will reveal the secret to you:

When it comes to "Dayu", everyone will definitely think of the story of "Dayu Zhishui". During the Three Emperors and Five Emperors period, the Yellow River flooded, not only the crops of the people, but also flooded their houses, and many people had to choose to leave their homes in order to avoid disasters. In times of crisis, Yao was very eager to eliminate the flood, so she began to seek someone who could control the flood, and because of this, Dayu was reused.
Seeing that the people were displaced, Dayu secretly made up his mind that he must defeat the flood, so he led the people to find experience from the failed cases, and finally he decided to use the way of flood diversion to control the flood, according to the data, Dayu spent 13 years to complete the cause of water control, in this process, Dayu disregarded personal interests, three times through the door and did not enter, it is because of this attitude, Dayu will be successful.
The story of Dayu Zhishui has been passed down to this day, but posterity has never been able to determine where Dayu's hometown is, but most historians believe that Dayu's hometown is "Yuhui Village".
"Yuhui Village" is located in the western suburbs of Bengbu City in the southern foothills of Tushan Mountain, which is named because of the historical legend of "Yuhui Princes in Tushan Mountain", in addition to the long history and culture, the natural scenery of Yuhui Village is also very unique, because Tushan and Jingshan are standing between the Huai River, so the Huai River forms an "S" shaped bend. This big bend will not only slow down the flow rate of the river, suitable for the ancients to fish, but also the continuous deposition of organic matter in the river water, but also make the land on both sides of the river become extremely fertile, which provides the necessary conditions for the survival of the ancients at that time.
After the discovery of the ruins in "Yuhui Village", it immediately attracted the attention of cultural relics experts from all over the country, because the discovery of the ruins is likely to solve the mystery of whether Yuhui Village is the hometown of Dayu.
The ruins of Yuhui Village were discovered, and after the relevant departments studied, the archaeologists also made three major discoveries, and the mystery of the ruins of Yuhui Village was slowly unveiled.
The first discovery: large ceremonial buildings
During the 2007-2010 archaeological period, the staff found a large artificially stacked sacrificial pedestal. The foundation of the altar is in the shape of a long strip from north to south, through the parameter length of 108 meters, width of 13-23 meters, in the middle and south of the base there are 35 long pits lined up in a line, experts believe that they are small sacrificial pits, the largest deep pit should be the location where the main worshipper stands.
The second discovery: the sacrificial ditch
In the sacrificial ditch found, the staff found a large number of grass and wood ash, stone tools, pottery fragments, etc., most of the pottery excavated in the ditch belonged to multiple cultures, these artifacts were gathered together, fully showing that in a short period of time, here cultural convergence, after seeing such a situation, some scholars believe that this directly proves the "Yuhui princes" theory.
The third discovery: the Han portrait
In the ruins, the staff found a Han portrait, this portrait is 49 cm high, 205 cm wide, 45 cm thick, the most surprising thing is the content of the portrait, we can see that there is a person wearing a bucket hat and wearing a cloak, this image is very similar to Dayu, most importantly, the figure in the portrait is shown on the front, and everyone else is on the side, so he must be the protagonist.
The above three findings provide some reliable evidence for proving that "the princes of Yuhui are in Tushan", but experts believe that the most favorable evidence is salamander pottery sculpture. Through the study of this object, experts based on carbon 14 dating, believe that the pottery sculpture was made in about 2070 BC, that is, it coincides with the age of Dayu's existence, although the time of this artifact corresponds to the age of Dayu's existence, but it can not directly prove that Yuhui Village is Dayu's hometown, because with the excavated items, experts only make preliminary judgments - here may be the place where Dayu lived.
Archaeological work is still continuing, I believe that through continuous efforts and investigations, experts will certainly be subjected to more practical cultural relics and proofs to unravel the mystery of whether Yuhui Village is the homeland of Dayu, dear wise readers, what do you think?
