the origin of Xiqiao Mountain

Stone culture

People in the Pearl River Delta are one of the oldest, most primitive and longest-lasting indigenous groups in Lingnan. Xiqiao Mountain culture is a primitive culture created by people in the Pearl River Delta in the pre-Qin period. 6 years ago, people in the Pearl River Delta region went to Xiqiao Mountain and used the rocks of Xiqiao Mountain to make stone tools for fishing, hunting and fishing.

It can be seen that Xiqiao Mountain was a primitive tribal settlement in ancient times, and it was the largest quarry and stone tool manufacturing base in the south of Neolithic Age. Xiqiao Mountain cultural sites discovered in 1958 are mainly distributed in the southeast slope and central part of Xiqiao Mountain, and the unearthed cultural relics are very rich. There are tools for processing stone tools, such as stone anvil, stone hammer and cutting hammer, as well as tools for making stone tools, such as stone ball chop, scraper, stone axe and shovel.

A large number of historical facts have proved that when the land of South Guangdong was still in the wild period, Nanhai people in Neolithic Age created a splendid double shoulder stone culture. Xiqiao Mountain used its diligence and wisdom to cast a ray of civilization light for the Pearl River Basin. Xiqiao Mountain is the origin of shoulder stone tools used in the Pearl River Delta and parts of Southeast Asia.

in the Tang dynasty, the ancestors began to dig rocks in Xiqiao mountain to build houses. Shiyan was the largest quarry site in Xiqiao Mountain at that time, and its underwater quarry site far surpassed Italy, which was regarded as a quarry in the Middle Ages. It is the largest, most complete and magnificent underwater ancient production site discovered in China so far, and its overall structure is well preserved. Because it was soaked in water, it solidified a living large quarry production site from Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty.

Archaeological discovery of ancient stone tools

Xiqiao Mountain has a long history, but its archaeological research in the United States only began in the middle of last century. In 1958, Daxing Irrigation and Water Conservancy Institute of Xiqiao Mountain People's Commune, which just established the people, discovered a batch of ancient stone tools buried in the alluvial soil when digging a gully more than ten kilometers long along the foot of Xiqiao Mountain. But people Idon''t have time to identify it. In June 1958, Chen Dingming, then a cadre of Nanhai County Cultural Bureau, participated in the excavation work

Huang Yu, a geography professor at Sun Yat-sen University? During the field trip to Xiqiao Mountain, the students were surprised to find that some small rock fragments were obviously artificially processed in the rock samples collected in the ditches at the foot of the east and west mountains of Xiqiao Mountain. Some of these specimens can be identified as axes and spears, so they were carefully preserved and handed over to Professor Liang of the History Department for study after returning to school. At this point, the human civilization that precipitated Xiqiao for thousands of years began to be gradually uncovered.

After the conclusion of the study of ancient civilization

, experts found many small stone products made by special techniques on Xiqiao Mountain, such as fine stones and shoulder stones. After decades of investigation and study, experts finally came to three conclusions:

1. The original products of Xiqiao Mountain Stone Factory can reflect the transformation process from microliths to shoulder tools; It can reflect the occurrence, development, change and technological process of double-shouldered stone tools.

Secondly, the bronze axe, tomahawk, spear and other ancestral forms in Baiyue national culture in southern China in historical period can be found in the stone tools on the shoulders of Xiqiao Mountain. Xiqiao Mountain culture is a prelude to civilization in the Pearl River Basin.

3. Shoulder tools are distributed as far away as Southeast Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia, and their birthplace is the Pearl River Delta marked by Xiqiao Mountain. Xiqiao Mountain culture is also an important culture in China, which faces the ocean and has far-reaching influence.

geology and culture

Xiqiao Mountain is an ancient volcano. When the Pearl River Delta was an ancient bay, a volcano erupted, spewing out a lot of magma, which condensed into a cone-shaped mountain in seawater. Later, magma erupted several times in the mountains, forming a mountain surrounded by mountains, like a lotus flower. Later, the alluvial plain of the Pearl River Delta was formed, and the sea receded, and Xiqiao Mountain became a mountain that suddenly rose on the land, with grass growing and birds and animals inhabiting, thus turning a page in the ancient history of the Pearl River Delta. The volcanic activity in Xiqiao Mountain, determined by potassium and argon isotopes through geological survey, has an age of 45-51 million years.

Tianhu is an ancient crater with an area of 12 mu and surrounded by green hills on three sides. The lake is clear, full of water, with green hills and towering old trees.

Guangdong has been one of the main sericulture producing areas in China since ancient times. As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (196-22 AD), sericulture in Guangzhou had begun to take shape. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people created the Sangji Fish Pond in the process of developing the Pearl River Delta. It became the largest cotton spinning center in Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty and enjoyed the best yarn in the world during Jiajing period. Before and after the Opium War, the cotton textile industry spread all over Nanhai County. Xiqiao Textile City is the main textile wholesale market in southern China.
