Ancient Linzi, Archaeological site in Zibo, China

The archaeological complex extends over 668 square kilometers between the Zi River and the former course of the Xi River in Shandong Province.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from 770 to 221 BC, Ancient Linzi served as the capital of the Qi state until its conquest by King Ying Zheng.

The Jixia Academy within Ancient Linzi brought together numerous philosophers and scholars who contributed to Chinese intellectual development between 315 and 285 BC.

The site contains visible remnants of 14-kilometer earth walls, multiple burial mounds, and structured urban planning with a grid system of wide streets.

Archaeologists discovered a sacrificial horse pit near the presumed tomb of Duke Jing of Qi, indicating ceremonial practices of the ancient settlement.
