Shangyangge Ruins

The Shangyangge Ruins are a cultural heritage site protected by Dai County.

The Shangyangge Ruins are located to the south of Shangyangge Village, Yukou Township, Dai County. They span approximately 500 meters from east to west and 600 meters from north to south, covering a total area of about 300,000 square meters. The ruins are situated on a terrace on the southern bank of the Hutuo River, featuring a gentle slope that descends from south to north, with a seasonal river to the west. The cultural layer is 0.5–1.6 meters thick. Collected artifacts include gray sandy pottery, grayish-brown sandy pottery, and clay gray pottery shards from the Neolithic Age, with surfaces featuring cord marks, basketry patterns, or plain textures. Identifiable vessel shapes include urns and narrow-mouthed jars. Han Dynasty artifacts include clay gray pottery shards with stamped patterns, though their vessel forms remain unclear. In 1984, the site was designated as a county-level cultural heritage site by the county government. (Content excerpted from *Xinzhou Cultural Relics Collection*)
