The light of civilization

Taizhou, one of the cradles of Chinese civilization, had traces of human activities as early as 400000 years ago. The best evidence is the skull fossil of Yiyuan ape man found in the southern foot of Qizi Anshan in Yiyuan. Human fossils from the late Paleolithic. In order to solve the problem of the transition from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic, the microlithic found in Fenghuangling mountain shows that the ancestors lived an economic life dominated by hunting and supplemented by fishing and gathering. In the Neolithic age, Taizhou area is full of bright and colorful stars: the colored pottery of Dawenkou Culture is comparable to that of Yangshao culture in the Central Plains, and the symbols on the pottery are regarded as the dawn of civilization; the black pottery of Longshan culture is extremely beautiful, and the jade production has reached a very high level, and Yazhang and Xuanji have become the symbols of Taizhou. At present, more than 2000 prehistoric cultural sites have been found in Taizhou, and more than 100 sites have been excavated. Through the comparison of stratigraphy and typology, and through the hard work of several generations of ancient people, a complete cultural sequence has been gradually established, such as post Li culture, Beixin culture, Dawenkou Culture, Longshan culture and Yueshi culture. The study of prehistoric civilization in Taizhou is developing in a deeper, earlier and more advanced direction.

Taizhou style

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Taizhou, as a close neighbor of the Central Plains, bore the brunt of the impact of the Central Plains Civilization. The oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang dynasty recorded a large number of records of the Shang King's expedition to Taizhou. The current archaeological data also show that the relics of the Shang Dynasty developed from west to east from early to late. By the end of the Shang Dynasty, most of Taizhou had been incorporated into the territory of the Shang Dynasty, and only a small number of Dongyi aboriginal tribes remained in the eastern coastal areas. After the Western Zhou Dynasty, the northern part of Taizhou was granted to Jiang Shang by King Wu of Zhou to establish the state of Qi, and the southern part was granted to Zhou GongDan to establish the state of Lu. In addition, there were many vassal states of different sizes. The state of Qi adopted the policy of "due to its customs, simplicity and propriety" to maintain regional stability and economic prosperity. After Duke Huan of Qi ascended the throne, he appointed Guan Zhong as prime minister. He was politically wise, economically developed, and gradually strengthened his national strength. He constantly merged with other small countries and became the most powerful country in the East, and was honored as the first of the "five tyrants of the spring and Autumn Period". Although the territory of Lu kingdom is small, it inherits the etiquette system of Zhou Dynasty completely. It has a strong cultural atmosphere and produces many brilliant thinkers. Confucius, a great thinker and educator, is one of the outstanding representatives and is honored as the "most holy and first teacher". Others are Sun Tzu, Mozi, Mencius and so on, which have had a profound impact on the process of civilization in China and even the world.

Resplendence of Han and Wei Dynasties

During the Han Dynasty, Taizhou was one of the most developed and prosperous areas in China. Taizhou has the advantage of fish and salt, which was less affected by the war in the late Qin Dynasty, social stability and economic development, especially iron smelting and textile. Most of the archaeological discoveries are Han Dynasty tombs. Up to now, tens of thousands of them have been excavated. Important archaeological discoveries, such as Jibei mausoleum in Shuangrushan of Changqing Dynasty, Lu mausoleum in Luozhuang of Zhangqiu, Jinan mausoleum in Weishan of Zhangqiu, and Rizhao Haiqu cemetery, are all here. There are abundant celadon and bronze wares with southern style unearthed from the Jin tombs in xiyanchi, Linyi; a large number of pottery figurines with complete functions found in the tombs of the Northern Dynasties in dongbaliwa vividly show the scenes of life at that time; more than 400 Northern Dynasty Buddha statues found in the Buddhist statue hoard of Longxing Temple are extremely beautiful, and the broken hands and feet of Buddha tell the rise and fall of Buddhism history from another side, Bring today's people peace of thought and spiritual conversion.
