Located 2.4 kilometers from the ancestral temple of the Yin Ruins, the Shaojiapeng site is believed to be a major living area for a clan named "Ce" in the Shang Dynasty 1600 BC-1100 BC. The relics at the site are diverse and relatively well-preserved, making them of great significance to studies on the scope and layout of the Yin Ruins.
