Description

不明,1975年1月,北关村村民唐元英在劳动后回家路上,经过西街村刚用推土机推平的一块耕地里,发现三块拇指盖大的金币。这批金币现藏河南省博物馆。发现郢爰的附近有一座西周到战国的大型城郭遗址,周长约10公里,大部分城垣完整,城基和夯土清晰可见。出土郢爰的附近还经常出土春秋、战国铜剑和其他器物。

Unclear. In January 1975, Tang Yuanying, a villager of Beiguan Village, was walking home from work when he passed a field in Xijie Village that had just been leveled by a bulldozer, and found three gold coins each about the size of a thumbnail. These gold coins are now held in the Henan Provincial Museum. Near the findspot of the Ying Yuan gold coins is a large walled city site dating from the Western Zhou to the Warring States period, with a perimeter of about 10 kilometers; most of the city walls survive, and the wall foundations and rammed earth are clearly visible. Bronze swords and other artifacts of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods are also frequently unearthed near where the Ying Yuan coins were found.
