Yin Xu is the site of the late Shang capital. In 1300 BCE King Pan Geng moved the court to what is now the area around Xiaotun village northwest of Anyang; the city was known as Yin and served eight generations and twelve kings over 255 years. It holds China's first Shang capital attested both in documents and by oracle-bone and archaeological evidence, its earliest systematic script, its earliest chariot-and-horse pits, the tomb of Fu Hao — its earliest woman general — and the Simuwu ding, the largest bronze vessel yet excavated anywhere in the world. City, script and bronze are its three defining elements.

主な見どころ
Palace and ancestral temple site
A century of excavation has yielded quantities of oracle bones, bronzes, jades and hardstone objects.
Royal cemetery
The burial and sacrificial ground of the late Shang kings — the earliest complete royal cemetery known in China.
Oracle-bone pit
Pit YH127, where more than ten thousand pieces were found together, is called China's earliest oracle-bone archive.
Chariot-and-horse pits
The earliest physical evidence of animal-drawn vehicles found in China; six chariots with road traces are displayed, largely intact.
Tomb of Fu Hao
The only royal tomb at the site found unlooted, and the only one whose occupant and date can be fixed against the oracle bones.

出典
商代晩期の都城遺跡です。紀元前1300年頃に盤庚が殷に遷都してから王朝の滅亡まで、八代十二王が254年にわたりここで統治しました。甲骨文が発見された地であり、中国近代考古学が生まれた地でもあります。2006年にユネスコ世界遺産に登録されました。
見どころ
- 宮殿宗廟区：商王が政務と祭祀を行った場所で、大型の版築建築基址が数十か所発掘されています。
- 婦好墓：1976年に発掘され、殷墟で唯一盗掘されていない商代王室墓です。副葬品は1,900点余りにのぼります。
- 甲骨窖穴YH127：一度の発掘で17,000片余りの甲骨が出土し、甲骨文発見史上最重要の単一発見となりました。
- 殷墟博物館の新館：2024年開館。まず博物館で背景を掴んでから遺跡へ向かうのがおすすめです。
実用メモ
遺跡区は広く、ほとんどが版築基址で地面の標識が中心です。先に博物館を見ると理解が格段に深まります。夏は日陰が少ないため日焼け対策を。安陽と鄭州の間は高速鉄道の便が多く、日帰り行程として組めます。
