Pansha Site

Pansha Site

The Pansha Site is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Pansha Site is located in Pansha Village, Nanlang Town, and is a sand dune site. Its relics are scattered over an area of about 300 square meters, and the cultural layer has been disturbed.

The collected cultural artifacts include sand-tempered pottery jars, with colors ranging from earthy yellow to brownish-yellow. The decorative patterns include diamond-shaped grid motifs, wavy lines, and stamped impressions—all clearly defined. The unearthed items are larger in size, more meticulously crafted, and have thinner walls compared to those found at Longxue. Based on the unearthed relics, they are believed to date back to the late Shang Dynasty.

A pottery jar, 44 cm in height and 27.5 cm in diameter. It is made of gray clay with a hard body. The jar has a flared mouth, rolled rim with an outward-flipping edge, a narrowed neck, broad shoulders, and a deep belly that slopes inward to a flat base, with the widest part located on the upper belly. The surface is decorated with a “rice grain” pattern. Research indicates that this artifact dates back to the Warring States period (475–221 BCE). The aforementioned relics are housed in the Zhongshan Museum and are well preserved.
