Sifangdong Gurenlei Ruins Park

A small place like Eagle City has such ancient relics

In 983, Wang Feng, of the Xinglong County Cultural Relics Management Office, found that the cave was unusual, and he cleaned up some animal fossils and stone products, with professional eyes, so that it should be a Paleolithic cultural site. In the summer of 1988, the Institute of Paleovertebrate and Paleohuman Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Cultural Relics of Hebei Province formed a joint excavation team to excavate the Quartet Cave. Participants included archaeologists such as Zhang Senshui and Xie Fei, as well as Changchun Geological College, Shanxi University, Experts from Tianjin Natural Museum and all students of the first Paleolithic archaeological training course in Hebei Province. The conclusion of archaeological excavations is that the cultural age of the Quartet cave site is the late Paleolithic period, which is the first Paleolithic cave site found in Hebei Province, and the first Paleolithic human activity footprint found in the depths of Yanshan Mountains. When primitive humans used rough stone tools, they were called the "Paleolithic Age". The late Paleolithic period was between 10,000 and 10,000 years ago. That is to say, two or three thousand years ago, there was a "quadrite hole man" in Xinglong. It was also the earliest human traces in Chengde. According to the stone tools and animal bones unearthed, we can imagine that a group of primitive people lived in the four-way cave. During the day, they went to the nearby mountains to hunt wild animals and pick wild fruits, said Chengde history experts An Zhong and Wang Qian. In the evening, a bonfire in the Quartet lit up the cave. People make stone tools, cut prey, and eat fruit. Isn't this the unfettered, original, pollution-free life we yearn for? In Xinglong, primitive caves such as Quartet Caves are not only this place, but also such cave sites in Xinglong County, Dazhangzi and other places.
