On January 21, the Baodun Site in Xinjin District of Chengdu City was unveiled. With the successive discovery and excavation of several Neolithic sites within the Chengdu Plain, the cultural remains of the Neolithic Period, represented by the Ancient Cities of Chengdu Plain, were named the Baodun Culture. The discovery and confirmation of the Baodun Culture strongly proves that the Chengdu Plain was one of the key sources of the origin of the Yangtze River Civilization and even Chinese civilization and providing the key evidence for exploring the origin story of the Chinese civilization and the theory on the unity of diversification.

 

The Baodun Site is located in Baodun Village, Baodun Town, Xinjin District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, on the southwest edge of the Chengdu Plain, and named after Baodun Village. Since the discovery of the remains of human activities in the last century, archaeologists have settled down on the site and carried out decades of hardworking, discovering that the site is distributed with the cultural remains from the Neolithic and many subsequent periods, among which the cultural remains of the Neolithic Period are the most fruitful and have lasted the longest. Archaeologists thus named this site the Baodun Site.
