The Qinggutui Ruins are located to the north of Diyang Village, Huangji Township, northeast of the county town, bordering the Laohé River to the south. In 1978, they were designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. The ruins stand 3 meters above the ground. Surrounded by steep edges, the site originally covered an area of 6,600 square meters, with 1,800 square meters remaining today. Formed from layers of gray soil, the cultural strata typically extend 2 to 5 meters in depth and contain a rich variety of artifacts. Cross-sections exposed by rain erosion reveal the foundations of red-burnt earthen houses. Artifacts unearthed include stone arrowheads, bone awls, deer antlers, animal bones, clam shells, as well as pottery items such as bowl-shaped tripods, deep-bellied jars, flat-bottomed bowls, and shallow-dish beans—indicating that this is a Longshan Culture site. According to old county records, Qinggutui was believed to be the tomb of the Song Dynasty’s Di Wuxiangong, although this has not been confirmed.
