Cultural relics excavated from the Yin Ruins are on display at the Capital Museum in Beijing on March 7, 2016.

Lying about two kilometers northwest of Anyang city of Central China's Henan province, the Yin Ruins cover an area of 30 square kilometers. "Yin" was the ancient name for the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC-1100 BC).

The Yin Ruins were found in what was once the capital of the Shang Dynasty 3,300 years ago and are the first capital ruins with a historical record confirmed by oracles and archaeological excavations.
