Dabaozi Mountain in Lixian County, Gansu Province is an important birthplace of Qin culture in China. Dabaozi Mountain witnessed the initial founding of the Qin people, which laid the foundation for the prosperity and reunification of Qin later. The grave found in the mountains is of great significance. In the early 1990s, the site of Dabaozishan was stolen, and the local government promptly cracked down on large-scale grave robbing activities and recovered some stolen cultural relics. However, there are still a large number of precious cultural relics lost overseas and scattered in the hands of public and private institutions and individuals.
Nine bronzes (including three stationary vessels, 1 Jing vessels, 1 Yu vessels, 1 dagger vessels), 130 vessels and six pottery vessels were unearthed in Dabaozishan, dating back to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period. The large musical instrument pit is located in the southwest of Qin Gong where the tomb was robbed, next to the decayed traces of the wooden clock platforms in the south row. Three bronze shovels, three bronze tigers (with shovels attached) and eight chimes are placed in rows in turn, and the shovels and clocks are respectively attached with 1 bronze hooks. There are two groups of *** 10 stone chins under the boreal chin, all of which are well preserved. One of the largest bronze spears is ornate in shape, with more than 20 words engraved on the drum, which is similar to the Qin Wugong spear found in the past and can be traced back to the early Spring and Autumn Period. In addition, four human sacrifice pits were found. Musical instrument pit and human sacrifice pit are the same in nature, and both belong to sacrificial cultural relics.
