Tomb M38 at the Zhaizita stone-walled site in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Photo: Xinhua News AgencyChinese archaeologists have discovered the earliest known pairing of dragon and phoenix clay sculptures in northern China, unearthed from a 4,300-year-old tomb in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, offering fresh insight into the ritual beliefs of the Longshan culture (3000 to 1900 BC), the Xinhua News Agency reported on Wednesday.
The two figurines were placed symmetrically on either side of a skeleton in a rectangular earth-pit tomb at the Zhaizita stone-walled site, a major Longshan culture settlement spanning 420,000 square meters in Inner Mongolia's Jungar Banner, Ordos City.
Radiocarbon dating places the burial at approximately 2300 BC, during the late Neolithic Longshan culture, per Xinhua.
Sun Jinsong, head of the Inner Mongolia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, told the Global Times that the tomb owner was buried lying face-up with limbs extended and head pointing northeast.
A turquoise-inlaid jade disc rested near the right side of the body's neck. The dragon-shaped clay piece was positioned on the right side of the body, aligned with the head, while the phoenix-shaped piece on the left was rendered as if soaring upward.
Stable isotope analysis of dental enamel collagen revealed a diet based on millet agriculture but with an unusually high intake of animal protein or special food resources.
"The findings indicate the tomb owner possessed prominent social status and privileged material resources during their lifetime," Sun said.
Sun emphasized the discovery rewrites the timeline of tangible dragon-phoenix symbolism in northern China.
"This is the earliest and most clearly defined dragon-phoenix combination found in northern China so far. It pushes back the materialized representation of dragon and phoenix to the Longshan era," Sun said. "The find provides precious material for studying the spiritual beliefs and funeral concepts of the Longshan people."
Sun added that the discovery underscores the unique contributions of the Hetao region - the great bend of the Yellow River - to early spiritual and cultural creativity in China, supporting the view that Chinese civilization developed through a pattern of unity in diversity.
According to media reports, the Longshan culture is renowned for advanced stone city construction, sophisticated handicraft techniques and mature ritual systems across the Yellow River basin.
Perched along the Yellow River basin, the Zhaizita stone-walled site ranks among the earliest known stone-enclosed fortress and ceremonial sites in northern China.
。今晚7：00，2026浙BA杭州赛区决赛首场比赛，将在临安体育文化会展中心体育馆正式打响，临安队坐镇主场迎战富阳队。决赛为三局两胜，两支历经多轮淘汰赛突围的劲旅将全力赢得开门红，谁能在“杭州王”的争夺战中抢占先机？从小组赛到淘汰赛，临安队尽显顽强韧性。

B | 小组出线后，八强赛与淳安队苦战三场才惊险晋级；半决赛对阵钱塘队，依旧是三场鏖战，决胜局更是在客场半场落后10分的不利境地下最终逆转杀进决赛。反观富阳队展现出强大整体实力、状态拉满，小组赛斩获四战全胜的不败战绩，淘汰赛又是两轮2∶0，豪取八连胜。全程攻防兼备，球队整体战术体系完整、阵容深度雄厚，多点开花的进攻模式和密不透风的防守体系让对手难以突破，被球迷誉为“最强县大队”，是“杭州王”和省级争霸赛的夺冠热门。值得一提的是，去年浙BA小组赛时，富阳队唯一输掉的一场球就是不敌临安队。

C | 两队核心球员的赛场发挥是本场G1对决的关键胜负手。

D | 临安后场组合吕升平、伍王超是球队两大得分支柱，半决赛G3对阵钱塘一役，吕升平独揽26分，高压追分阶段连续突破、稳定罚球帮助球队稳住局面。

E | 三场半决赛，吕升平和伍王超场均分别贡献17分和13.6分，得分火力不容小觑。去年，吕升平在小组赛阶段意外骨折，直到半年后才重返赛场。他坦言，和去年比，自己心态上成熟了很多。“这次能代表自己土生土长的家乡出战，希望有更多机会赢下比赛。”富阳队走团队均衡打法，无单一得分核心，外线章炬是球队攻坚尖刀，僵持阶段三分球屡屡破局；内线孙江豪、夏森组成双塔牢牢掌控篮板优势，童剑凯、许泽伟、章佳飞轮换登场持续输出得分，板凳深度和成熟轮换体系让球队全场都具备充足冲击力。首场对决，胜负极大影响整个系列赛的心理走势。是临安队携主场之利获胜，还是“最强县大队”继续保持不败纪录？让我们拭目以待。
