origin
"Yanggu County Chronicle" contains: Jingyang Gang is 40 miles east of the county seat, with undulating sand dunes, endless grass, ancient trees towering in the sky, and sparsely populated. Near Jingyang Gang, there were originally 9 ridges and 18 mounds (tall and rugged giant earthen mountains), and Jingyang Gang was between the East Sand Pile and the West Sand Pile.
With the change of history, today's Jingyang Gang has become a slowly rising sand gang. Ganggu Washi Berlin, the national locust is senran, and the view is also quite majestic. There is a stone stele on the right side of the gang, engraved with three big characters of "Jingyang Gang", which was inscribed by Shu Tong, a famous calligrapher in China and then secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, in 1958. In the middle of the top of Shagang is a temple of ethnic architecture guarded by a series of dark green national locusts, commonly known as "Wusong Temple". The temple has 3 ridges, single eaves with corridors, green bricks and gray tiles, vermilion doors and red windows, simple and elegant. According to research, the temple was founded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 500 years, and is a key cultural relics protection unit in Shandong Province.
In 1958, two or three hundred meters east of the temple, a stone stele was excavated in Jingyang Gangcun, engraved with "Wusong Fighting Tiger Place", which has now been moved to the Jingyang Gang Tourist Area, due to the long time, most of the handwriting of the stele has been blurred, and a very few handwritings are still recognizable. According to research, the stele was erected in the late Northern Song Dynasty or early Southern Song Dynasty, and the original stone stele in Jingyang Gangcun was the place where Wu Song killed the tiger.
Since 1973, after several trial excavations by the provincial archaeological team, Jingyang Gang has been identified as a "Longshan Culture" site. The site is now divided into two hills, north and south, with a road in the middle. Nangang is 86 meters long from east to west, 75 meters wide from north to south, and has an area of about 6,450 square meters. The north and west of the hill are 24 meters long and 47 meters wide from north to south, with an area of about 1128 square meters, and the top of the hill is relatively flat, about 4 meters above the surrounding ground. The cultural connotation of the site is relatively rich. From the cliff observation, the North Gang cultural layer is about 2.5 meters thick and the South Gang is about 2 meters thick, and there are also ash pits exposed. Judging from the specimens collected, clay pottery is the mainstay, followed by sand pottery; the pottery color is mainly gray pottery, followed by black pottery and red pottery. The pattern is decorated with rope pattern, basket pattern, checkered pattern, string pattern, leaf vein pattern and so on. Recognizable instruments include dings, urns, lids, etc., and also collect stone hammers, stone chisels, and bone chisels. In 1978, it was designated as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.
In the process of tourism development of Jingyang Gang in 1994, archaeologists were organized by the Liaocheng City Cultural Relics Management Committee to explore and found that it was the site of Longshan Cultural City. The site of Jingyang Gangcheng is southwest and northeast, the city is boat-shaped, rectangular rounded corners, the middle outer arc, the northwest wall is 1200 meters long, the southeast wall is 1160 meters long, the southwest wall is 250 meters wide, and the northeast wall is 3000 meters wide. The city walls are well preserved, several meters high, and the four gates are clear. There are 5 equal-sized sites in the city, some of which have been rammed and stacked with straw bags, and some of which should be inhabited by the leaders at that time.
The site has unearthed high-specification stone penta, pottery pots, manes, pots. The site of Jingyang Ganglongshan Cultural City is one of the earliest city sites found in the Yellow River Basin. Similar to the Central Plains, although the cultural outlook is dominated by Shandong Longshan, there are also a certain number of Factors of Henan Longshan culture.
Therefore, the Jingyang Gang site is a precious material for the study of Yan, Huang and Dongyi cultures, and was identified as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 2001. This archaeological discovery continues the 5,000-year-old prehistoric civilization of Yanggu.
