historical value

Wannian Shennong palace scenic spot (Daoyuan tourist resort) is composed of three parts: the birthplace of world rice culture (including Xianren cave, bucket ring site, Xianren cave bucket ring site exhibition hall, etc.), the most beautiful underground river in China - Shenlong Palace (Shennong Palace), and China's first original cave exploration.

The scenic spot gathers the beauty of form, dynamic, color, sound and hazy of nature, and has the characteristics of novelty, wonder, spirit, beauty, seclusion and danger. The whole scenic spot has been declared as national AAAA scenic spot and National Geopark.

Wannian Xianren cave is a Neolithic site discovered earlier in China. As early as the early 1960s, two scientific excavations were carried out, and many human activities and rich cultural relics were found, which has attracted great attention of scholars at home and abroad. However, due to the great differences in the understanding of the absolute age and the primitive economic form of the remains, the value of the remains has been submerged for nearly 30 years.

Exploring the origin of domesticated rice

In order to explore the origin of domesticated rice, in 1993 and 1995, the Chinese and American Agricultural Archaeology teams conducted archaeological sampling and excavation of the cave and the hanging bucket ring cave about 800 meters away from Xianren cave, and made great achievements.

first

It is confirmed that Xianren cave and diaotang ring cave have complete and clear upper and lower strata accumulation from the late Paleolithic to the early Neolithic. According to a large number of carbon 14 measurement data, the upper layer is about 9000-14000 years ago, and the lower layer is about 15000-20000 years ago. This kind of complete stratigraphic accumulation is rare in many cave sites found in South China, which provides scientific data for exploring how human beings transited from Paleolithic to Neolithic and in what environment and state Neolithic Revolution took place.

secondly

There are abundant artifacts unearthed in the two times, which is also the most in many caves in South China. According to preliminary statistics, there are 474 pieces of stone tools, 248 pieces of bone vessels, 19 pieces of perforated mussels, 297 pieces of original pottery, more than 20 pieces of human bone specimens and tens of thousands of animal bone fragments. Some of the bone vessels or canals are engraved with scratches, which are the earliest ones recorded in China. The original pottery pieces, mixed with coarse sand, are thick and have low temperature. The pottery pieces are mostly pasted and patted by clay pieces, and the clay strips are also used to form near the bottom. The main types of the utensils are straight mouth, tube belly and round bottom pot shaped utensils. The surface of the utensils are mostly disordered or even overlapped with thick rope lines or stripes. The disordered stripes of grass rubbing are also found, and the inner walls of some utensils are also decorated with horizontal patterns. The earliest age of these pieces may be around 12000 years. This is one of the earliest pieces found in China, which is undoubtedly of great significance to the study of the origin of pottery.

third

The results of pollen and phytolith cell analysis of the specimens collected from the two caves show that there are clues of wild rice and artificial rice in the two sites, especially in the lower layer of the bucket ring. Although the wild rice in the upper layer accounts for the majority, there are fan-shaped bodies carrying cultivated rice. This provides a very important clue for exploring the origin of rice farming, and also shows the role of Ganpo region in China and even the world Boundary rice plays an important role in the study of its origin.

With their wisdom, the ancestors of Xianren cave and bucket ring in Dayuan basin began to plant rice and make pottery 10000 years ago. They are worthy of being the forefathers of world civilization.

Five thousand years ago, Shennong, the first ancestor of China, heard that rice culture originated from the Dayuan basin thousands of years ago, and brought his right-hand assistants Lei Shen and Chui Shen to seek their roots. When he arrived at Dayuan immortal cave from Shennong River, he built Shennong altar to worship his ancestors. It is not only a celebration of the ancestors' creation of human civilization and the realization of the fundamental transformation from food collection to food production, but also an expectation of the leap from relying on nature to transforming nature!
