Shimao Site: The largest prehistoric city site in China, known as the 'Stone Breaks the Sky'

The Shimao Site is a super large city consisting of three parts of stone walls: the "Imperial City Platform", the inner city, and the outer city. It covers an area of over 4 square kilometers and is densely distributed with a large number of palace buildings, house sites, tombs, handicraft workshops, and other relics from the late Longshan Culture to the early Xia Dynasty. It has produced a large number of precious cultural relics such as stone carvings, painted murals, divination tools, production and living tools, decorations, weapons, and jade artifacts. It is currently the largest prehistoric city site discovered in China. Archaeological findings indicate that the Shimao site has demonstrated a high level of civilization in agriculture, architecture, art, music, astronomy, and faith, becoming an important evidence of the 5000 year Chinese civilization. In recent years, the Shimao Site has been selected as one of the "Top Ten Field Archaeological Discoveries in the World" and "Six New Archaeological Discoveries in China".
