The excavation of the stone coffin tomb no.M19 at the Xuguang Cemetery in Baoji City has revealed a distinctive burial practice and the characteristic features of accompanying burial objects,bringing to light for the first time a typical Rong and Di culture tomb in the Guanzhong region.The similarities between this tomb and the stone coffin tombs and unearthed artifacts of the Upper Xiajiadian culture at Nanshangen,Ningcheng,Inner Mongolia,suggest that it may date back to the early Spring and Autumn period.By combining the study of related gold and bronze artifacts from the Rong and Di culture unearthed at the Liangdaicun site in Hancheng City,the Liujiawa Rui State Cemetery in Chengcheng,and other sporadically discovered artifacts,a preliminary understanding can be formed regarding the basic characteristics,distribution,and cultural attributes of the Rong and Di cultural remains in the Guanzhong region during the early Spring and Autumn period or slightly later.This understanding sheds further lights into the interaction and integration between the Rong and Di people and the Central Plains Zhou and Qin cultures,as well as their status and influence within the early Eastern Zhou society in the Guanzhong region.
