福泉山遗址位于青浦区重固镇西侧，于1962年发现，2001年6月25日被国务院公布为全国重点文物保护单位。2009年被上海市人民政府命名为上海市爱国主义教育基地，2010年被国家旅游局质量等级评定委员会评为国家3A级旅游景区，2013年，被国家财政部和国家文物局公布为全国150处大遗址保护项目之一。
       福泉山遗址因为遗址内的“福泉山”而命名。福泉山又名薛道山、覆船山，呈不规则的长方形，东西长约94米、南北宽84米、高7.5米。20世纪80年代，通过大规模的考古发掘，证明福泉山主体是人工堆筑而成的高台墓地，其中发现的良渚文化贵族墓葬尤为珍贵，共出土玉器、石器、陶器等各类文物达2800余件，有象征神权的神人兽面纹玉琮、玉璧，象征王权的玉钺权杖和各类精美的玉质装饰品。福泉山完整保留了距今6000以来各个时期的文化遗存，有新石器时代的马家浜文化、崧泽文化、良渚文化与战国、汉代等时期遗址，它被誉为“东方的土建金字塔”、“古上海的历史年表”、“上海的发祥地”。
       2008年至2011年，结合全国第三次文物普查工作，上海博物馆考古研究部再次对福泉山遗址进行了勘探和发掘，新发现了良渚文化晚期贵族墓地——吴家场墓地。墓葬随葬品等级高，出土文物精美，其中装饰有神人兽面纹的象牙权杖在上海地区乃至全国的新石器时代考古发掘中十分罕见，具有非常重要的文物价值和历史意义。考古发掘充分证明福泉山遗址是上海地区良渚文化时期最重要的遗址，代表了当时上海地区政治中心。
福泉山遗址是一座蕴藏丰富的宝藏，是祖先留给我们的一笔丰富遗产。她不但具有考古学上的深远意义，其古文化内涵也是我们建设美丽家乡取之不尽用之不竭的精神源泉。她永远值得我们去歌颂、去传承。

A brief introduction to Fuquanshan Site
     Located in the east of Chonggu Town, Qingpu District, Fuquanshan Site was discovered in 1962, enlisted as one of the Cultural Heritage Units under the Protection of the State Council in June 25, 2001, recognized as Shanghai Patriotism Education Base by the Shanghai Municipality in 2009 and the National 3A-Level Scenic Spot by the National Tourism Administration in 2010, and included in the Project of 150 Sites Protected by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2013.
     Fuquanshan Site is named after the Fuquan Hill located on this site. Fuquan Hill, also known as Xuedaoshan or Fuchuanshan, has a layout of a roughly rectangular shape, measured 94 meters from east to west, 84 meters from north to south, and 7.5 meters in height. An archaeological excavation in 1980s found that the main part of Fuquanshan was actually a man-made mound, from which were excavated burial objects once used by Liangzhu-Culture aristocracy. These objects amount to more than 2,800 pieces covering various categories of arts, such as jade, stoneware, pottery and so forth. Among them, jade ornaments symbolizing the divine right and kingship, are especially unique, which include a cong carved with divine human face and animal mask, a bi disk, an axe, and others as well. Fuquanshan Site provides a complete preservation of cultural relics dated in different periods through six thousand years, including the Neolithic Times (Majiabang Cutlure, Songze Culture, and Liangzhu Culture), Warring States and the Han Dynasty. For this reason, Fuquanshan Site has also won the fame as the “Oriental Pyramid”, the “Chronology of Ancient Shanghai”, and the “Cradle of Shanghai” as well.
    From 2008 to 2011, to go with the 3rd Pan-China Cultural Heritage Survey, the Archaeological Dept. of Shanghai Museum made a second excavation at Fuquanshan, hence was found a noblemen’s cemetery dated late Liangzhu Culture ---- the Wus’ Cemetery, from which a number of exquisite, high-level burial objects were found. Among these objects there is a rarely-seen ivory scepter carved with the design of a divine figure and animal mask that possesses important cultural value and historical significance in the Shanghai arena, if not in China. These archaeological finds have proved that Fuquanshan is the most important site of Liangzhu Culture in Shanghai and further implies it was once the political center of this district.
    Fuquanshan Site, as a reservoir of rich treasures, makes a cherished heritage from our ancestors. It not only plays an important role in archaeological study, but also works as an inexhaustible cultural resource in building our city. It deserves our honor and transmission forever.
