added by archaeologs [Wu-chin Yen-ch’eng]. Site in southern Jiangsu province, China, of a walled city traditionally identified with the capital of the Eastern Zhou state of Yan (a different state from the Yan state in the neighbourhood of Beijing, written with a different character). Bronze ritual vessels found at Yancheng in 1957 belong to the late 6th and early 5th centuries bc; stylistic peculiarities suggest that they were made locally and point to connections with earlier bronzes, also of provincial style, unearthed in the same general region (see Dantu, Tunxi).
