"198 1 At the beginning of April, a batch of pottery was found in the third battalion and fourth team of Gaolanshan commune in Lanzhou City. This is a Neolithic intermediate tomb, about five kilometers away from the Huazhaizi site. " Zhou Guangji, a provincial institute of cultural relics and archaeology who participated in the on-the-spot investigation, said, "This time, we * * collected 20 pieces of pottery, which are basically complete in shape and novel in shape, and are the cultural characteristics of the early Mid-Levels."
In the exhibition hall on the second floor of Lanzhou Museum, there are two serrated painted pottery pots unearthed in Yingpanling. Li Xiaolin, a researcher at the museum, said: "These painted pottery have beautiful shapes, one of which is a spiral zigzag pattern of red and black and white, which shows the aesthetic concept of primitive ancestors."
The intermediate type is the middle type of Majiayao culture, which is 4650-4350 years ago. The discovery of this site shows us the basic living conditions of Lanzhou residents at that time.
At that time, the top of Gaolan Mountain was lush with trees and gurgling streams, and the Yellow River was not far from the foot of the mountain. The ancestors chose to live in a place facing the sun and the water. People build houses into rectangles or squares, open doors to the east for lighting and build stoves indoors. People live extremely hard when farming, fishing and hunting. At this time, the pottery industry has been quite developed, which has brought great convenience to the lives of our ancestors.
Many Han tombs were found in Fulongping, west of Gaolan Mountain.
1987 10 A tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty was found at the cave entrance on the northern edge of Fulongping in Chengguan District. Unexpectedly, people accidentally found some pieces of paper used to pad bronze mirrors in this ordinary cemetery. This is the remnant paper of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Fulongping. There are three pieces of paper, all in a bronze mirror, which are round, with a diameter of about 17 cm and good flexibility. There are words on the paper, such as "What should a woman do if she knows her shoes ...". This is another important discovery in ancient paper, China after Dunhuang, Juyan and Gantanpo in Gansu.
"This piece of scrap paper is the ink paper with the most characters found, which provides very valuable information for the study of papermaking and calligraphy art." Jin said.
