At the beginning of the 20th century, China was in the era of warlord regime, and a Japanese scholar named Torii Ryuzo was hired by the local Mongolian princes in Harqin to give lectures. According to Japanese memories, he crossed the Liao Dynasty to Beijing (now Zuo Qi, Bahrain) and came to Hongshan, and found some pottery fragments on the ground nearby. 19 19, a Frenchman came. His name was Sang Zhihua. He came to Linxi, Inner Mongolia (now Bahrain Right Banner) and returned in vain. There is also a Frenchman named De Jinri, who found some exquisite stone tools in the late Paleolithic period in Hongshan area. /kloc-in the winter of 0/930, Liang Siyong, the son of Liang Qichao, came from Tongliao in the northeast. He was born in Macao. After returning from studying in America, he began to study archaeology. After collecting some information about Torii Ryuzo, it joined the archaeological team of China Academy of Sciences. He has been to Linxi, Salahai and Guozi Station, only found some pottery pieces, and then returned to Beijing.
1933, Japanese imperialism occupied Chengde, then the capital of Jehol province. Then came a group of so-called Japanese archaeological groups called Manchu-Mongolian investigation team. There is a man named Hamada, who is the president of the University of Tokyo. Their motivation is that if they want to conquer China, they must first conquer Manchuria. I want to find evidence that does not belong to China's history and culture in Inner Mongolia. As a result, only some pottery fragments and several bronzes were found in more than 30 sites in Hongshan, belonging to China historical relics. As a result, the Japanese invaders wasted their efforts.
After liberation, Mr. Liang Siyong served as deputy director of China Institute of Archaeology. Chinese archaeologist Mr published a book "Neolithic Culture in China", with Mr. Liang as a preface. Mr. Yin Da thinks that Hongshan Culture is a combination of northern microlithic culture and Yangshao culture. Two scholars discussed this cultural phenomenon in Northeast China, which belongs to a new cultural phenomenon produced by the contact between the north and the south of the Great Wall, and suggested that it be named Hongshan Culture.
The official discovery of Hongshan ancient jade was in the 1970s. 1971may, when planting trees in Beishan, Sanxingtala Village, Wengniute Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, a large jade carving dragon was accidentally dug up. From then on, people began to realize that the source of jade carving art in China may have occurred in the Xiliao River Basin in Hongshan Culture era.
Soon after, in the remains of Hongshan Culture, such as Gulubanhao in Inner Mongolia, Shiban Mountain in Haoluku in Hexigten Banner and Hutougou in Fuxin, several batches of Hongshan Culture jade carvings, such as jade carving dragons and big dog Yunpei, were found. 1In May, 979, archaeologists found a jade tomb of Hongshan culture in Zichengzi Mountain, Sanguandian, Lingyuan, western Liaoning, and concluded that there were jade articles in Hongshan Culture.
19811February, at the second annual meeting of China Archaeological Society held in Hangzhou, Mr. Sun Shoudao and others from Liaoning Archaeological Institute submitted a paper entitled "The Origin of the Primitive Civilization and Dragons in Liaohe River Basin" to the conference, reconfirming that all the above findings belong to Hongshan Culture. Since then, it has caused a sensation in the world archaeological community. A large number of scholars from home and abroad flocked to the northeast for investigation. At the same time, the late China archaeologist Mr. Su further affirmed Hongshan Culture. It is confirmed that Hongshan Culture in Northeast China is the dawn of Chinese civilization in China five thousand years ago.
