This section dates back to the late Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BCE–771 BCE) and the early Spring and Autumn Period (770 BCE–476 BCE). This groundbreaking discovery was made in Changqing District, Jinan, Shandong Province. The Shandong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology directed an excavation between the months of May and December, 2024.
