Hongfu Site

　　The Hongfu Site is located 250 meters northwest of Hongfuji in Yongcheng County. It is oval-shaped, running from north to south, measuring 270 meters in length and 240 meters in width, and stands 1.5 meters above the ground. The cultural layer is over 2.5 meters thick. Below 1.2 meters at the center of the site lies the Henan Mountain cultural layer. During drilling, grayish-black pottery shards were discovered, including one piece with a red body and black painted patterns featuring simple linear designs, which are characteristic of the Dawenkou culture. Artifacts from the Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties were found in the upper layers. Collected items include pottery shards with fine cord marks, checkered patterns, and basket weave patterns, pottery net sinkers, pottery spinning whorls, li tripod feet, broken bean pot handles, bean trays, coarse cord-marked pottery shards, as well as Qin and Han dynasty roof tiles, small floral bricks from the Han dynasty, fragments of hollow bricks, and Han banliang coins among other late-period relics. In 1979, an oval-shaped ash pit was discovered one meter below the surface during exploration. Artifacts unearthed included pottery beans, tripods, net sinkers, vessel lids, jars, bowls, and others, mostly featuring decorative patterns. This site is a Neolithic cultural site containing painted pottery culture and has been listed as a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
