Puyang

Puyang is a city in north-eastern Henan, near the Yellow River. In the Spring and Autumn period it was Diqiu, capital of the State of Wey from 629 BCE, and the remnant of Wey survived around it until 209 BCE. Neolithic graves at Xishuipo in the city include figures of a dragon and a tiger laid out in shells.
