Site of the Grey Corner Temple

The Site of the Grey Corner Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Anhui Province.

The Site of the Grey Corner Temple dates back to the Neolithic Age and is located in Miaoji Town, Taihe County, Anhui Province. The site rises about 4 meters above the surrounding ground and covers an area of 100,000 square meters.

The site currently forms a platform-like highland, approximately 4 meters above the surrounding ground, with an area of 100,000 square meters. The pottery shards found on the surface are predominantly sandy red pottery and gray pottery, along with a small amount of black clay pottery. The main vessel types include jars, cups, tripods, basins, and dou (bean-shaped vessels), with decorative patterns such as basket weave, string patterns, appliqué bands, and rope impressions.

Based on the analysis of the pottery, the site dates to the late Neolithic Age. Given its large area and rich content, the site holds significant importance for the study of prehistoric culture in the northern Huai River region.

Protected area: with the center of the site as the base point, extending 100 meters east, 100 meters west, 100 meters south, and to the southern bank of the Jiehong River to the north.

Construction control zone: 100 meters beyond the protected area in all directions—east, south, west, and north.
