Ancient Village in Shandong.
Linzi (Línzī), originally called Yingqiu, was the capital of the ancient Chinese state of Qi during the Zhou Dynasty (c. 1046–256 BC.) The city was one of the largest and richest in China during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was surrounded by a 14 km perimeter wall of rammed earth.

With occupying Linzi in 221 BC, King Zheng of Qin completed his conquest of the Chinese rival states and declared himself the first emperor of China shortly afterwards.

The ruins of the city lie in modern day Linzi District, Shandong, China. Source: Wikipedia: Ancient Linzi.

Archaeologists find first ancient mirror workshop in China by bat400 on Wednesday, 01 January 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
A 2,000-year-old bronze mirror workshop has been excavated in east China's Shandong Province in the first such discovery in the country, Xinhua news agency reported.

Bai Yunxiang, deputy director of the archeological institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that more than 100 stone moulds along with foundry pits, wells and blastpipes were unearthed at a site in a village near Zibo City.

The workshop is believed to have been active in the early period of the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD), when the once-costly bronze mirrors gradually became household objects.

"It is the first time that a bronze mirror workshop has been discovered, providing precious insights into technologies used for China's ancient mirror making," Bai said.

Bai said the artifacts are representative of mirror designs during the Han dynasty, including a mould with patterns incorporating "panchi," a dragon-shaped monster commonly used in mirror decoration and another with a grass-leaf design that became popular at the start of the era.

It is believed that the workshop formed part of the industrial zone of the ancient city of Linzi, which flourished as a commercial hub during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770 BC - 221 BC).
