To mark the 50th anniversary of one of China's most important archeological discoveries, Hemudu Culture relics have been placed on display at the National Museum of China in Beijing. A total of 324 sets of cultural relics are displayed on the special exhibition that has been organized to commemorate the moment farmers discovered the chinaware and animal bones in Hemuduzhen in Ningbo, Zhejiang in June 1973. The discovery unveiled the existence of a 7,000-year-old society in China, resident in the Yangtze Valley. These Neolithic Age (18,000 to 4,000 years ago) artifacts weave a story of an ancient culture that made use of stone tools and bone ware, sometimes carved with intriguing patterns.
