Why is Guangfulin called the silver of Shanghai's history and culture?

Shanghai also has a long history and profound heritage. The archaeological discovery of Guangfulin in Songjiang shows that at least 4,000 years ago, in the late Neolithic period, people lived in Shanghai and formed a unique cultural type-Guangfulin culture.

Civilizations in different periods in the world are mostly named after regions. The archaeology of Guangfulin in Songjiang makes people know that in primitive society, there were Songze culture and Liangzhu culture, and the discovery of Guangfulin culture added a cultural site in the late Neolithic period to the area around Taihu Lake.

What is particularly amazing is that in the archaeology of Guangfulin site, evidence of immigrants in the Yellow River basin was also found. This is the first Shanghai immigrant discovered by archaeology, which is of great research value to Shanghai, where immigrants are the main body. This also shows that even in ancient times, human civilization was intertwined, and even mountains, rivers, lakes and seas were unstoppable.

In fact, the mutual blending of human beings has long existed.

Recently, it was reported on the Internet that from 2005 to 20 16, the archaeological team conducted an archaeological excavation in Xuchang, Jing Ling, Henan Province for 12 years, and found 45 ancient human skull fossils from 125 thousand to 105 thousand years ago. Two years ago, a study by a Sino-US joint research group showed that the skull of Xu Changren had a "trinity" mixed feature of ancient humans, European Neanderthals and early modern people in China, which may be the result of gene blending between ancient humans in northern China and European Neanderthals. It can be inferred that before Xuchang people, the East Asian continent was extremely cold, and the ancestors of Xuchang people migrated to Europe with mild climate, and met and hybridized with early Neanderthals. 128,000 to 74,000 years ago, the climate became warmer and these ancient humans returned home. And infer that this human migration may have happened many times. This theory caused a sensation and posed a great challenge to the theory that human beings originated in Africa.

In Guangfulin site, two types of primitive social housing sites, dry fence building and ground building, were found, which made people really understand the living conditions of ancestors at that time, which was commendable.

Of course, the archaeological excavation of Guangfulin culture can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg. With the deepening of archaeology, richer cultural treasures may be found here.

20 13 May, Guangfulin Ancient Culture Site was approved by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
