Yufeifeng

(wndonline.cn)

Yufeifeng, a kind of miniature jade engravings unearthed from Wuxi's Hongshan town, is a cultural symbol representing Wuxi's city image.

More than 1,000 funerary articles were found in Hongshan town, including complete sets of pottery, musical instruments, and jadeware.

Among them were three three-centimeter phoenix-shaped pendants made of white jade and green jade, the earliest miniature jade that has been discovered in China.

With elegant and full postures, balanced shapes, as well as asymmetrical tension, Yufeifeng showcases the rich imagination and creativity in ancient China. It became the city logo of Wuxi in 2008.

The Hongshan Site Museum is the only national archaeological park in Jiangsu province. It houses a collection of relics unearthed from the Hongshan Tomb Complex that demonstrate the celadon techniques used during those periods.

The tomb in Hongshan dates back to the early years of the Warring States Period (475-221BC), possibly during the reign of King Goujian, who took the throne in 496 BC. The findings mark one of the most important archaeological discoveries on the Yue State to date. The site has far-reaching significance on the study of Yue history and culture, offering insights into the ancient history of the area, as well as into music and porcelain production.

The important historical site sits on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and was listed among China's Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries of 2004.
