Tanshi Moutain, where the hominids from the southeastern coast lived, is a typical marine shell middens relic. It is proved to be a cradle of the ancient civilization in Fujian and the homeland of Min People in the period before the Qin Dynasty. Four or five thousand years ago, Tanshi Mountain People gradually developed a prehistory culture with distinctive marine features: residence by the sea, living on the sea and developing a culture from the sea. For the first time in history, this land has seen the glimpse of prehistory civilization.
