Yongfeng Site

　　      Located among Xinja, Qingfeng, and Yongfeng villages in Qiangong Township of the county. It was discovered in 1985 when the Ankang Regional Cultural Relics Management Committee surveyed the cultural relics in the Yuhe gold mine excavation area. Bordered by the Yuhe River to the south and the Hanbai Highway to the north, it is about one li wide, stretching from the Regional Agricultural Science Institute in the east to the bank of the Heng River in the west, covering a length of approximately five li. Near the confluence of the Yuhe and Heng rivers within the site, there are large quantities of rubble, bricks, and rope-patterned pottery fragments. Villagers in Xinja Village used bricks inscribed with Northern and Southern Dynasties inscriptions to build canals and reinforce embankments, while villagers in Qingfeng Village unearthed copperware, pottery, and other artifacts during house construction and cellar digging.

　　      The site has been surveyed several times, and artifacts such as Han Dynasty bronze cauldrons, bronze square wine vessels, bronze mirrors, pottery basins, pottery jars, and celadon ware from the Wei, Jin, and Six Dynasties periods have been collected. Also unearthed were inscribed bricks with dates, reading: “Made by Wang of Changle Li, Duxiang, Xicheng County” and “In the ninth year of Yongping, in the year of Xin Si, made by King of Weixing.” There was also a stone coin mold for “ban liang” coins. The site is believed to be a village and workshop settlement dating from the Han to the Wei-Jin period.
