According to reports, the local area was just to build a reservoir. I didn't expect to find an ancient tomb, which was later identified as Yangshao cultural site. After excavation, three groups of dragon and tiger patterns made of clam shells and a large number of production and living utensils were unearthed. Three groups of dragon and tiger patterns have caused a sensation at home and abroad, which has aroused long-term concern in academic circles.

The first group is a tomb, with the owner in the middle, and the patterns of Yi Long and a tiger are placed on the left and right sides respectively; At the foot of the tomb owner, there is also a spoon-shaped pattern composed of two people's tibia and clam shell. The second group is dragon, tiger, deer and stone axe. The third group is people riding dragons and running tigers. The three groups of patterns are arranged in a zigzag shape in the meridian direction, with a distance of 20 meters from each other.

This is a grand funeral held by ancestors in Yangshao era, with dragons and tigers as the funeral, which shows the special identity and status of the tomb owner.
