Guangfulin site

The Guangfulin site

As in 1958, local residents, Shijia-river (施家浜) ausbaggerten towards the Chenshan Basin (辰山塘), they encountered Neolithic objects, including a black ceramic Zun , who with images of deer and an ax decorated was. Such ceramics, black and designed with two different themes, first appeared in 1936 during excavations of sites of the Liangzhu culture (3400–2000 BC). In 1961 archaeologists from the then Songjiang District Museum and the Shanghai Monument Protection Commission made a test excavation, unearthing various stone tools and ceramic vessels on 73 m². On this occasion it was found that the entire site extends over approximately 7000 m².

Further excavations were carried out in 1999, then again in 2000/2001, where again a large number of stone tools were found. During an emergency excavation in March 2008 (to forestall building activities) remains of pile dwellings and houses at ground level were discovered, as well as remains of rice in an ash pit, from which the archaeologists concluded that the population at that time was already growing domesticated rice and harvesting it with the stone sickles that were also found. In addition, remnants of linen and silk were found in the Neolithic layer, which means that silkworms were already bred at that time and the thread unwound from the cocoons was woven into fabrics.

Archaeologists believe that the settlement excavated in Guangfulin is the origin of today's Shanghai; the stone tools found in Dianshan Hu a few kilometers to the west are more recent and date from the Shang dynasty (1778–1122 BC). Since the decor of the ceramic vessels shows that immigration from the North Chinese Longshan culture (3200–1850 BC) was found, it was decided at an international conference in June 2006 to officially call this mixed culture an independent “Guangfulin culture” (广 富林 文化, Pinyin Guǎngfùlín Wénhuà ). On June 26, 2018, the Guangfulin site (广 富林 遗址, Pinyin Guǎngfùlín Yízhǐ ) was opened with exhibition halls designed by the Shenzhen architecture firm Xidi International (悉 地 国际) and a memorial hall for the Ming- era officials, poets and Anti-Manchurian resistance fighter Chen Zilong (陈子龙, 1608–1647) opened to the public.
