A mountain of knowledge

China Daily  

Archaeologists excavate relics from a pit at the Yanshanzhai site in Yingde. Recent archaeological discoveries in Yingde city are shedding light on the hitherto unknown Neolithic history of Guangdong province, Wang Kaihao reports. Compared with the rich documentation we have that tells us of life in Central China more than 2,000 years ago, there is a dearth of information and stories about Guangdong around this time. After uniting the country in the 3rd century BC, the emperor soon assigned his grand army into the new territory of Lingnan, which roughly corresponds with today's Guangdong and Hainan provinces, and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. However, archaeological findings unveil a much older cultural brilliance outside the prevailing historical records, and the area's connection with other regions in present-day China is also greater than people's general impression.
