essential information

In July 1947, archaeologist Pei Wenzhong discovered guatai mountain as the site of prehistoric human activities in sanyangchuan along the Weihe River. During the national cultural relics survey in the 1980s, it was found that the ancient cultural accumulation layer of guatai mountain is 0.2-0.5 meters thick. On the cliff, there are ash layer, ash pit, ash living surface, ash residue and other relics. More than 50 pieces of stone tools, pottery, bone ware, etc. were unearthed. After identification, they are more than 5000 years old. In September 2002, the "Gansu investigation team" sent by the project implementation Department of the Secretariat of the "Chinese link" project Organizing Committee of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, when selecting the site of the "Chinese ancestor worship base", inspected guatai mountain and submitted an investigation report "During the investigation, we found in the Fuxi Temple site and the sacrificial pit of guatai mountain the sacrificial objects of ancient Chinese ancestors since the pre Qin period, as well as the sacrificial objects symbolizing the Chinese ancestors -- the largest, oldest and best preserved stone ancestor in China (stone male genitalia, about 5000-6000 years ago), which is the time of patriarchy of the Chinese nation It's a symbol of generation. Taking this new discovery as a clue, the investigation team conducted a comprehensive exploration of the whole guatai mountain and visited the Huajia old people in the surrounding villages, sorting out complete archaeological data and word-of-mouth data. During the field exploration of the whole guatai mountain, it was found that about 500 meters away from the northeast corner of the city site, there are many architectural relics, such as gray layer pottery pieces, stone tools, bricks and tiles, bone bones, column foundations, white plaster mud and so on. The ground pottery pieces are mainly from prehistoric times. The famous archaeologist specially invited by the investigation team said that after decades of archaeological work and numerous archaeological excavations, it is rare to see archaeological sites with such dense cultural accumulation and complete ages. By combing word-of-mouth data and on-site exploration, we believe that guatai mountain area is likely to be the place for ancestors' sacrifice 8000 years ago.
