Precious Relics from Shang Tomb in Xingan County
A large tomb of Sang period was discovered at
Dayangzhou village in Xingan county of Jiangxi province in 1989. Among
1374 unearthed relics are 475 bronze wares, 745 jade wares and 139
pottery and proto-porcelain wares. The variety, typeform, decoration and
casting of these bronzes are considered the best in the southern regions
of China, this area is thus reputed the kingdom of bronzes in the middle
reaches of the Yangtze River.
All kinds of objects from the tomb bear not only the culture character of
the Shang civilization in Central Plains, but also the strong flavour of
region feature. This undoubtedly will change the position of Ganpo
region on the ancient history of our country and enough to certificate
that Ganpo region also have her brilliant material civilization when
Central Plains came into the history civilization period. |
