Archaeologists found in Zhou Shu's rare biography that after a lot of processing, what remained was lapis lazuli fragments. This discovery confirmed the requirement put forward by the Assyrian king during his expedition to the kingdom of Medea that the kingdom of Medea must provide Assyria with 9 tons of lapis lazuli every year. This stone is closely related to "color", so these findings show that the record of the origin of "color" in China history is probably correct.
