Recently, the cultural relics department released a new discovery.
The Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology discovered a large, high-level building at the Haojing site from 2019 to 2020.
Archaeological experts infer that this building is probably an ancestral temple or palace building used by the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The Haojing Site is located on the east bank of the Fenghe River in the western suburbs of Xi'an. Historically, it was the core area of Haojing, the capital built during the reign of King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The newly discovered high-level large-scale building "Building No. 14" is distributed in a north-south direction with a grand scale, with a total area of more than 1,800 square meters.
A large number of ruins such as sacrificial pits and building materials were unearthed. According to the analysis of archaeologists, this building is likely to be an ancestral temple or palace building used by the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
