In the 70s of the last century, an old farmer in Changming Township, Yuhang County, accidentally found some ancient jade, he sold these things privately, inadvertently found by the police, after the identification of archaeological experts, these inconspicuous jade is actually 5,000 years ago ancient cultural relics, the old farmer heard the news, but also directly frightened stupid, he originally thought that this is just an ordinary jade, did not expect that there is such a big history.
Archaeologists followed the clues given by the old farmer, found a place called anti-mountain, when archaeologists came to anti-mountain, only to find that this so-called mountain is actually a small hill, only 5 meters high, so many people see it, feel very incredible, is it such a small hill there are 5,000 years ago cultural relics?

Later, after the observation of archaeologists, it was found that this hill was not naturally formed, but artificially built, so who built this mound? What does the jade represent when it appears here? Things suddenly became confusing.
At this time, suddenly some people thought of the Liangzhu ruins, is it true that this small hill has an important relationship with the Liangzhu ruins? In fact, this is not the first time that someone has found the Liangzhu site, as early as 1936, archaeologist Shi Xin was more in Hangzhou's Gudang site for investigation, accidentally found a stone axe with holes, at that time Shi Xin felt that this stone axe looked very strange, in addition to his hometown Liangzhu often appeared cultural relics theft incidents, so in the first time, Shi Xin more connected the two, and ran back to his hometown Liangzhu for field investigation.
Cultural relics were found at the Liangzhu site
But for the Liangzhu civilization, few people know, the information is also very small, but in the history of a few, so want to find this, or more difficult, fortunately the emperor did not pay off, but also let this young man find some valuable ancient pottery pieces.
And Shi Xin even reported this news to the leaders above, and after getting approval, he began to operate the archaeological excavation of the Liangzhu site, but for various reasons, the archaeological work of the Liangzhu site was stopped for a while, and since then, some ancient cultural relics of the Liangzhu site have been found elsewhere.
Therefore, it can be proved that the liangzhu ruins are distributed in a relatively wide area, and there are more historical records, and the Liangzhu tribe at that time, covering today's Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places, is known as the "first city in China", the Liangzhu tribe has developed to a stage, is the evidence of China for five thousand years.

But I don't know what the reason is, in 2300 BC, liangzhu culture suddenly disappeared. Moreover, after the disappearance of the Liangzhu culture, the civilization in the Taihu Lake Basin had a 400-year fault, as for what the reason was, many people speculated that it should be related to the rumored flood. Therefore, the site found in Anti-Mountain is likely to be the Liangzhu site, but the archaeology at that time was relatively backward, and experts did not dare to do it easily, and could only wait for an opportunity.
Excavation work at the Liangzhu site
In 1986, anxi town has a factory that needs to requisition anti-mound expansion, and finally archaeologists waited for an opportunity, so in May of the same year, archaeologists settled in Anxi town and began the excavation of liangzhu site, experts in 2000 square meters, a total of 6 ten meters deep pits, after a month of excavation, found 11 tombs, but these tombs are Han Dynasty, 2000 years late from Liangzhu culture.

Just when everyone was suspicious, there was good news, archaeologists found some white particles in the northeast corner, around it are red particles, archaeologists through the investigation of the particles, think that it existed earlier than the time of the Han tomb, but at this time, suddenly ushered in a rainstorm, suddenly disrupted the work of archaeologists.
Finally when the rain stopped, it has been two days, archaeologists continue to start their work, just at this time, suddenly dug up an object, after processing, found that this thing is a jade, according to the verification of cultural relics, it can be determined that this is Yu Chun, this kind of jade has also been found in the previous Liangzhu site, but such a beautiful or first time to see, and then a variety of different jade objects have been excavated one after another, just a No. 12 tomb, more than 700 pieces of jade, the number is as large, The style is exquisite, and it is certain from here that during the Liangzhu culture, people were already able to make some exquisite jade.
More than 500 sites have been discovered so far
It is not difficult to see from here that perhaps the wisdom of the ancestors is not necessarily lower than the wisdom of the current people. In addition, archaeologists also found that the placement of these jades is very exquisite, from beginning to end are around the tomb owner, Liangzhu culture as an important culture in the late Neolithic period of China, the discovered sites have been more than 500 so far, from here it can also be known that liangzhu culture has developed to a certain stage at that time, and even said to have their own system, but now archaeologists are still unsure why the ancients would use such a tomb form.
Moreover, at the time of the decline of liangzhu culture, a large number of Liangzhu culture also appeared in the Shijia site in the Central Plains, which also proved that the Liangzhu culture was not really missing, but some were left behind, but the tribes at that time were relatively backward, and they themselves did not know the existence of Liangzhu culture. However, the strange point is that no one knows who created this culture, and even the historical records are not recorded, even in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is no record of Liangzhu culture.
There is also no record of Liangzhu culture in the Classic of Mountains and Seas
However, according to the jade artifacts excavated at the Liangzhu site, some people have linked this culture to an ancient rumored figure, and in the Liangzhu site, jade jade is found, as well as the god-man beast face pattern symbolizing kingship, including the stone hammer and the flat piercing stone cymbal that have been confirmed by scholars, all of which are associated with the weapons in "Xuan You Zuo Bing".
The "钺" found in the Liangzhu site is also obviously different from the weapons of the Central Plains, and there are also images of Xuan you holding a new one in the Carved Stone of the Han Dynasty, and what is going on? What is the connection between Liangzhu culture and Xuanyu? Is it suddenly felt that the veil of Liangzhu culture has not yet been lifted? As an aside, it is not possible to be sure whether Xuanyu existed now, but it does not mean that the ancients did not see him.

What is the relationship between the Liangzhu site and Xuanyu?
Many people talk about Xuan you, they feel that it is a very distant and mysterious ancient figure, but if it can be confirmed that Xuan You is real now, will you not be shocked to drop your jaw? The mystery of the Liangzhu site has not yet been unveiled, including the creator of the Liangzhu culture, which is also a mysterious existence, so many people wonder if it will be related to Xuanyu? Although this is only a guess, there is also a certain basis.
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" recorded the story of "Yellow Emperor Zhan Xuan You", it should be known that many places in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, including animals, have been confirmed to be real, so the book of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a certain degree of authenticity, and the record of Xuan You is not only in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but also in the "Later Chronicles of the Road History" and also recorded in the "Later Chronicles of the Road History" and "The Biography of Xuan You".
The image of Xuan you
Even the "History of the Five Emperors Benji" also records that after the death of Xuan You, there were no descendants left behind, and the Yellow Emperor carved his image on the bronze in order to commemorate the victory over Xuan You, and on the bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty, the most common one was the Gluttonous Pattern, which was also from the Liangzhu Culture Period.
And there are many scholars who have speculated that in ancient times, there was a major flood, this flood lasted for a long time, the damage was great, but no one can be sure whether this flood existed for hundreds of years or thousands of years, but it must have existed. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" also mentions that this flood disaster, including some ancient sites found, also has relevant traces, even foreign countries have relevant records.
Xuan You belongs to the figures of the Five Emperors period, and the time when the ancestors of Liangzhu moved north happened to be the time of Xuan You's activities
Therefore, scholars infer that after the flood, the Ancestors of Liangzhu carried out a great migration, some people arrived in northern Guangdong, some went to the Central Plains, the traces of the movement of the ancestors of Liangzhu and many places of Xuan You have a certain degree of similarity, and in the late Longshan culture in Henan, there are related discoveries of the Five Emperors period, Xuan You belongs to the figures of the Five Emperors period, and the time of the north migration of the Liangzhu ancestors coincides with the activity time of Xuan You.
And in the "Salt and Iron Treatise on Jiehe", it is said: The Yellow Emperor and Xuan You fought and killed two people, these two people are Taihao and Shaohao, these two people are the leaders of the Dongyi tribe, after the death of the two, Xuan You became the leader of the Dongyi tribe, and the place where Xuan You is located is Shandong, and the Dawenkou ruins found in Shandong have a lot of connections with the jade excavated from the Liangzhu site, so there is a certain connection between Xuan You and Liangzhu culture.
There is a certain connection between Xuanyu and Liangzhu culture
Even if it is not created by Xuan You, there will be some connection between the two, but as to whether this is the case, it still needs to be investigated, but this is only the speculation of some scholars, because some people once thought that the period where Xuan You was located was in the middle of the Liangzhu Ancient Kingdom, but in any case, it is only speculation at present, and it is not yet possible to draw conclusions.
