Moxinli Site

The Moxinli Site is a cultural relic protection unit of Zhejiang Province.

The Moxinli Site is located in Shuangfuqiao Village, Hehu Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Dating from the Neolithic Age to the Warring States Period, it is classified as an ancient site.

The site extends from Zongguanqiao Natural Village in the east to Baiyuwei in the south, Mengdudai in the north, and Xinshili Natural Village in the west, covering a total area of approximately 200,000 square meters. The current surface consists mainly of mulberry fields and fish ponds, with numerous pottery fragments bearing impressed patterns found in the mulberry fields, and a significant accumulation of clay pottery and sand-tempered pottery fragments beneath the fish pond sediments. Collected specimens primarily include vessels such as tripods, dou (food containers), jars, and plates; broken stone tools identifiable as adzes, axes, plows, and knives were also found. The richest remains are found along the shores of the fish ponds in the central part of the site, where various types of tripod feet can be collected, as well as rim fragments of vessels such as tripods and jars, dou bases, dou handles, pottery net sinkers, and ox-nose shaped vessel ears.

In January 2017, the Moxinli Site was designated as a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit.
