Qianzhangda Site

　　From 1978 to 2001, the Qianzhangda Site was excavated more than ten times by the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Over 100 tombs were cleared, and more than 20,000 cultural relics were unearthed in total. Notably, the early Western Zhou bronze ritual vessels, weapons, jade artifacts, and wine vessels unearthed in the winter of 1994 were listed as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China that year.

　　Between 1995 and 1998, five well-preserved large chariot-and-horse pits were excavated, causing a sensation in the archaeological community. Archaeological evidence confirms that the Qianzhangda tomb cluster was the burial ground of the nobility of the State of Xue during the early Western Zhou period.
