On October 1st, the archaeological site of Shangdu Academy Street in Zhengzhou was crowded and lively: tourists from all over the world came here one after another to look at drawings, touch cultural relics, and dig treasures...... Under the guidance of the docent, they learned about the distribution and architecture of the Shang Dynasty relics, and many tourists present said, "Participating in archaeological activities during the National Day is fulfilling and meaningful!" ”
It is understood that the archaeological site of Shangdu Shuyuan Street, located in the southeast of the inner city of Zhengzhou Shangdu, is the most important archaeological discovery of Zhengzhou Mall in recent years. The discovery of gold artifacts reflects the localization of China's gold culture and the beginning of gold and jade culture. The goldware, white pottery tripod, and jade scepter head reflect the integration of multiple cultures of the early Shang civilization. The new discovery fills the long-term archaeological blank area of Zhengzhou Mall, and it is the first high-level aristocratic tomb discovered in Zhengzhou Mall in 70 years. It has successively won the "Top Five New Archaeological Discoveries in Henan Province in 2022", shortlisted for the "Archaeological Forum of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences • New Archaeological Discoveries in China in 2023" and won the "Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries in China in 2023".
Walking into the archaeological site of Shangdu Academy Street, the first thing that catches your eye is the ingenious sign-in service desk, with the cardboard with red as the background color written "Continuing the thousand-year-old cultural context and recounting the era of the chapter". At the check-in desk, the staff prepared small national flags, creative headbands, "dragon scale" stickers, etc., early to attract tourists to check in and take pictures. The staff told reporters, "Sticking the 'dragon scales' sticker on the dragon behind you means that the sign-in is successful." We also want to bless the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in such a creative way. "Walking further, I saw the cultural relics unearthed from the archaeological site of Shangdu Academy Street in Zhengzhou and the introduction of aristocratic tombs. Under the guidance of the docent, visitors can learn about the knowledge of the cultural relics unearthed in Shangdu and the historical and cultural background of that time.
A Ms. Li at the scene told reporters that she came with her family, mainly to bring her children to experience, "Come here on the National Day, get closer to our history and culture, love our hometown more, and understand and identify with Chinese civilization more." "At the archaeological site, there is also a drawing display area, a cultural relics restoration area, and a cultural relics touch area. Visitors can touch the artifacts and experience the process of drawing archaeological maps and restoring them. Going deep into the interior of the archaeological site, we came to the place that children are most interested in - the archaeological experience area. Here, children take shovels, brushes and other tools to dig tiles in the soil pit, simulating the process of archaeological excavation.
A parent of a child at the scene told reporters that it was not the first time they had participated in this activity, "I feel that this archaeological experience class is very good, and bringing the child can also cultivate his interest and learn some historical knowledge." "At the back of the archaeological site, there are various tools needed for the burial of nobles and archaeological excavations on display for everyone to visit and learn. In the "Archaeological Interesting Screening Hall", the archaeological series of promotional videos of "Zhengzhou in Cultural Relics" were also played in a loop, attracting many tourists to watch. According to the staff, the archaeological experience will continue from October 1st to October 3rd (9:00-17:00), and the centralized explanation time is 10:00 and 15:00 every day, and tourists are welcome to visit and experience.
