4,300-Year-Old Tomb Reveals Earliest Dragon-Phoenix Pairing
Archaeologists in Inner Mongolia have uncovered the earliest clearly recognizable pairing of dragon and phoenix figures yet found in northern China. The clay figurines came from a 4,300-year-old tomb at the Zhaizita Stone City site in Jungar Banner, Ordos City. Radiocarbon dating places the burial around 2300 BC, during the middle-to-late Yongxingdian Culture within the broader Longshan cultural horizon.
The rectangular earthen-pit tomb contained an individual buried face-up with limbs extended and head oriented northeast. A turquoise-inlaid jade bi disc lay beside the right side of the neck. On either side of the body, excavators found carefully positioned clay sculptures: a dragon-shaped figure on the right, aligned with the deceased’s head, and a phoenix-shaped figure on the left, rendered in a soaring or rising posture. The symmetrical arrangement creates a balanced ritual composition around the burial.
According to Global Times, Sun Jinsong, head of the Inner Mongolia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, described the find as highly significant:
“This is the earliest and most clearly defined dragon-phoenix combination found in northern China so far. It pushes back the materialized representation of dragon and phoenix to the Longshan era,” he said.
No earlier discovery in the region has provided such a clearly defined physical pairing of the two forms.
