In the past five years, the Liangzhu ruins have taken “inclusion as a cultural heritage” as a new starting point, actively explored new ways to protect the ruins, and written a new chapter in cultural inheritance.

Exploring: Promoting new breakthroughs in archeology and research

In the early morning, in the Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, several archaeological technicians were drilling soil with Luoyang shovels layer, observe the soil core samples taken out, and look for archaeological clues deep in the stratum based on the color changes of each section of the soil core.

“We completed one this yearIt’s a ‘big job’ but also a ‘fine job’. “Wang Ningyuan, the archaeological leader of the Liangzhu Ancient City and surrounding water conservancy system of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, said that in the past five years, they have completed a survey of 100 square kilometers around the ancient city ruins in accordance with the basic principle of drilling a hole every 5 meters, and have discovered nearly 350 heritage sites, and more are expected to be added in the future. jpg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_1000/auto-orient,1/quality,Q_80”>

 ” Multidisciplinary archeology has been a powerful tool for Liangzhu archeology in recent years. We have 21 researchers engaged in research in 18 directions including animals, plants, geology, environment, water conservancy, and surveying and mapping. “Wang Ningyuan gave an example. The water conservancy archeology work not only found more Liangzhu Dams, but also achieved “experience export” and made important contributions to the water conservancy archeology work in the Yangtze River Basin.

Xiang Ming, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, said that in the past five years, Liangzhu archaeological work has continued to deepen, providing richer information for the project of exploring the origins of Chinese civilization. “We must find out the origins of Liangzhu culture. ‘He’liu’ is explained clearly, allowing the world to further understand Liangzhu’s contribution to Chinese civilization. ”
