Dongshan village site

Shancun Neolithic site is located in Dongshan village, gangang town (formerly Nansha Town). It is located on the slope to the east of Xiangshan mountain. The elevation is Wusong, 10-20m, 4-6m higher than the surrounding farmland. The site has ditches or rivers on three sides and mountains on one side, with a total area of about 60000 square meters. From 1989 to 1991, three excavations covering an area of 205 square meters were carried out. A total of 10 house sites, 4 ash pits and 14 tombs were found. More than 130 pieces of stone tools, pottery and jade were unearthed. Rice, straw, burnt earth, animal bones and charcoal were found. Nearly 10000 pieces of pottery specimens were collected. C14 and sporopollen were determined by Peking University and Nanjing Normal University. The age of C14 is 7260 ± 60 years ago in the 8th layer and 5240 ± 60 years ago in the 5th layer. The archaeological experts from Beijing, Nanjing, Zhejiang, Shanghai and 10 provinces (cities) along the southeast coast, after field investigation and research, agreed that the dongshancun site is the earliest Neolithic cultural site found in the Taihu Lake Basin and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The earliest time is about 8000 years ago, which shortens the distance between the Paleolithic and Neolithic cultures of Jiangsu and Taihu Basin, and provides a rare scientific basis for further understanding of the Yangtze River Delta. A large amount of rice was found in the red burnt soil of Dongshan village site, which is one of the earliest rice found in China. It is more than 900 years earlier than the rice unearthed from Hemudu site in Zhejiang Province, which further proves that China is one of the origins of rice in the world. Many spinning wheels were unearthed in Dongshan village site. There are two shapes: one is plane on one side, the other is arc with a hole in the middle; the other is plane on both sides with a hole in the middle. Both spinning wheels are ceramic. These spinning wheels are the earliest original spinning and spinning tools found in the area along the Yangtze River. They provide reliable material materials for the study of the original textile industry. In 1995, the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial People's Congress deliberated and approved the Dongshan village site as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in Jiangsu Province.

Xujiawan site

Xujiawan Neolithic site is located in the south of Luyuan Town, 100 meters to the east of the 21 km milestone of national highway 204. The site is located on a high platform with a total area of about 20000 square meters. The excavation was carried out in April and August 1985, with a total area of 425 square meters. There are 13 tombs, 18 ash pits, 3 house foundations, as well as wells, ditches, cooking stoves, burnt earth, animal bones, rice and so on. More than 280 pieces of cultural relics have been unearthed, including 166 unearthed from tombs, 103 unearthed from explorers and more than 20 collected. The second Institute of Oceanography of the State Oceanic Administration and the Institute of stratigraphy and paleontology of Nanjing Institute of Geology and mineral resources of the Ministry of Geology and mineral resources carried out C14 determination and sporopollen analysis respectively. According to C14, the site is 5500 years ago, belonging to the Neolithic Songze culture. According to the analysis of the unearthed rice by professor you Xiuling of Zhejiang Agricultural University, there are 14 grains, 5 of medium indica rice, accounting for 35.72%, and 9 of Japonica rice, accounting for 64.28%. This phenomenon of coexistence of Indica and japonica rice is similar to the sites of Songze and Luojiajiao. Due to the discovery of the xujiawan site, the original coastline 5000 years ago should be redrawn, that is, the original South Coast should be moved more than 10 kilometers northward in Gushan area. The site is of great significance to the study of geomorphological changes in the Yangtze River Delta.

Caidun site

Caidun Neolithic site is located 1 km east of Tangqiao town, covering an area of about 4 hectares. In 1974, stone axes, stone pots and other utensils were discovered. Later, some of them were excavated. More than 60 pieces of pottery, such as cups, pots and stone chisels, were unearthed, as well as a large number of relics, such as rice, house walls, reeds, ash pits and red burnt earth. The cultural layer is about 3 meters thick. According to Suzhou Museum, it belongs to Neolithic Liangzhu and Songze superimposed cultural sites, 4000-5000 years ago.

Henan Chan yuan

Also known as Henan temple, in yangshe town northwest two Li Xu. Built in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, it is a small temple in the countryside. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, because of being invaded by Japanese pirates, there were few incense in the temple and no one repaired it. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhou merchants in Henan Province invested in the reconstruction and expansion. During the reign of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, the temple house was expanded to more than 60 Ying, known as "little Tianzhu". Every year, February 19 of the lunar calendar is a grand temple fair. Until the period of the Republic of China, there was little left after several fires, and all of them were demolished during the "Cultural Revolution". But in history, the temple fair on the 19th of February in the lunar calendar on the Christmas day of Guanyin continues to this day. In October 2000, Suzhou municipal government approved the relocation and reconstruction. Located in the west of Zhangjiagang Park in the urban area, the newly-built Zen temple covers an area of 5.44 hectares. It is estimated that more than 50 million yuan will be invested in the planning and construction of nine landmark buildings, including Guanyin Pavilion, dizang hall, Guanyin hall and main king hall. Construction started in 2001. Now, a 705 square meter two-story main hall, a mountain gate and ancillary buildings such as Baoding and censer have been built, with 14 monks. Under construction are the greening and afforestation projects of Tianwang hall, release pool, archway and the whole Zen temple. A magnificent Zen temple with deep historical and cultural heritage has taken shape. At the beginning of its construction, there was an endless stream of people around to burn incense and believe in Buddhism.
