Name

The foundation stone of the museum was laid on June 11, 2017 under the name “Erlitou Site Museum”. Although the State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China recommended that the name of the site museum should not include “Xiadu” in its approval in April 2017, the Erlitou Ruins Museum was renamed “Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital” by the Luoyang Municipal Government in July 2019.

Due to the lack of supporting written materials at the time, archaeologists are unable to confirm whether Erlitou was the “Xia Capital” or the “Shang Capital”, and can only confirm that it was the remains of a wide-area royal state. Archaeologists are unable to determine whether Erlitou was the capital of the Xia or the Shang, but can only confirm that it was the remains of a wide-area royal state. Xu Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the third-generation leader of the Erlitou Archaeological Task Force, believes that “Erlitou is most likely to be Xia, most likely to be Xia, but if you ask me to say that it is surely Xia, it is contrary to the scientific concept and bottom line of me as a scholar! In this case, in the name of a museum, such a partial formal definition, such an occasion, should not be put? occasion, should it be put? is controversial.”
