- Another interesting discovery was that these Middle Shang vessels, once their true historical importance was realized, turned out to be found not only in the relatively small territory traditionally considered to be the realm of the Shang dynasty but far beyond its borders. The first find of this type occurred in 1958 at Huang-pei-hsien, near Wuhan, Hupei Province. This suggests that Middle Shang culture was spread over an area far larger than previously assumed, a fact that may have been of great importance for the evolution of local bronze cultures during the following Chou period.]
