What city is the ancient Yangcheng today?

Jincheng city.

Yangcheng, called Huoze in ancient times, is a part of Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. It is located in the southeast of Shanxi Province, the east of Taiyue Mountain Range, the northeast of Zhongtiao Mountain Range, the west of Taihang Mountain and the middle reaches of Qinhe River, bordering on the suburbs of Jincheng in the east, Qinshui County in the west, Yuanqu County in the southwest and Jiyuan City in Henan Province in the south.

Archaeological excavation.

Liu Xu, the leader of this archaeological excavation and a professor at Peking University Institute of Archaeology and Culture, said that there are several opinions about Yucheng, and Dengfeng is the most well-founded one, which is consistent with the time and place of Yangcheng recorded in the literature. It is controversial that the original city site is too small to match. The discovery of this big city makes its time, place and scale qualified to be called Du Yu, and the possibility of Du Yu in Wang Chenggang is increasing.

Fang Yanming, an expert from Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology who has been engaged in the excavation and research of Wang Chenggang sites for decades, said that the newly discovered Wang Chenggang ruins city, with an area of about 300,000 square meters, is the largest city site in Henan Province in the late Longshan culture, which provides strong evidence for the statement that Wang Chenggang is the "Yangcheng of Du Yu".

In addition, a sacrificial pit with human bones was found near the city wall and the moat, and a human skull was found at the bottom of the moat, as well as high-standard relics such as jade cong and white pottery, all of which well reflected the identity of the users and showed that this site was one of the important central settlements in the ancient Central Plains.
