The Qianshanyang Site was originally a village from the late primitive society, dating back more than 4,700 years and belonging to the Liangzhu Culture. As early as the 1930s, Mr. Shen Weizhi was the first to discover and publish writings on it. In 1956, thousands of stone tools were collected on the exposed riverbed. In March of the same year and again in March 1958, two scientific excavations were conducted, unearthing pottery such as ding (a type of ancient Chinese cauldron), pots, jars, basins, and bowls, as well as spindle whorls and net sinkers, remnants of textile tools. The unearthed items also included stone knives, axes, chisels, plows, and other production tools, as well as plant seeds of rice, broad beans, melons, peaches, and peanuts, indicating that the agricultural production in Huzhou at the time had reached a considerable level. The remnants of silk and hemp textiles found at the site are some of the earliest found in China, proving that Huzhou is one of the cradles of silk culture.
