Guangfulin Relics Park
The Guangfu Lin Ruins are a Neolithic site. The cultural layers of the Guangfu Lin Ruins are divided into three layers. The upper layer is the Wu-Yue culture layer from the Spring and Autumn-Warring States period, the middle layer is the Maqiao culture layer from the Xia-Shang period, and the lower layer is the Liangzhu culture layer from the Neolithic period. The unearthed pottery shards with the characteristics of the Henan Yufang culture can be used to infer that the earliest ancestors of the people in Shanghai were from Henan. The remains of the Maqiao Culture and Songze Culture unearthed, etc., are witnesses to the life of the prehistoric people in Shanghai. The discovery of the Guangfu Lin Ruins has clarified the stratigraphic relationship between the Songze Culture, the Liangzhu Culture and the Guangfu Lin Culture, and has enriched the cultural sequence of the Neolithic period in the Taihu Lake region.
