Bone Mound Site

　　Located 200 meters west of Guzitou Village, Laocheng Township. The site gets its name from the large number of ancient bones unearthed within the mound. It is an irregular rectangular earthen platform, with the existing mound measuring 60 meters in length and 20 meters in width from north to south. The cultural layer is 10 meters high, and the surrounding walls of the earthen platform have collapsed, revealing clearly stratified cultural layers when viewed from the broken edges. Remains such as ash pits, red-fired earthen living surfaces, and pottery kilns have been discovered. Based on unearthed artifacts including black pottery, jars, flat triangular feet, folded-abdomen basins, bracelets, and li tripod feet, it is identified as belonging to the Longshan Culture. In 1963, it was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit by the People's Government of Henan Province. Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang was pursuing Liu Xiu, Liu took refuge here. Later, a Longtai Temple was built beside the mound, along with three pavilions and two statues, which have been continuously worshipped throughout the years.
