Liaoning has inherited and preserved the brilliant civilizations of the Chinese nation, and it has been one of the most glorious canton in the long history of China. To say Liaoning enjoys a long history, because as early as the Paleolithic Age, i.e. the most immemorial period in the history of human being, the ancestors of Liaoning had lived in this area. The pithecanthrope skull fossils unearthed in the Taurus mountain in Dashi Bridge, Yingkou city has already had a history of 280,000 years, this is the most antiquated habitat of human beings so far discovered in Liaoning.
The large number of stone implements unearthed in the Dove Cavity in Hazuo county, Zhaoyang city can be traced back to the late years of the Paleolithic Age--- the Neolithic Age. Judging from this point, the ancestors of Liaoning people had been able to make polished stone implements and potteries, and ancient agriculture and stock raising industries had began to take shape.
While the site of Red Mountain Ancient Cultural Relics unearthed in Niuheliang, the joint place of Lingyuan city and Jianchang county indicates that early in 5,000 years ago, there had existed a primitive society of civilizations which had taken a rudimentary form of a state, and it marked the beginning and early development of the Chinese nation’s 5,000 years of civilization. In the 16th century B.c., Liaoning belonged to Bangji of the Shang Dynasty, whlie in Spring and Autumn/Warring States Periods ( from the year B.c. 723 to B.c.221), it belonged to the kingdom of Yan. Since then, all the feudal dynasties had set up administrative organizations in Liaoning.
Liaoning province is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty---the last feudal society in China. Up to the present, the one palace and three mausoleums, i.e. the Shenyang Imperial Palace and the Yong Mausoleum in Xinbin(in which the ancestor of Nuerhachi was buried), the Fu Mausoleum( in which Nuerhachi was buried ), and the Zhao Mausoleum(in which the Qing Taizu Emperor, son of Nuerhachi was buried) are still well preserved.
