Wang Mingda points out that at that time the Nanjing-Hangzhou National Highway had just opened up. Situated in Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province, Liangzhu was placed perfectly in the path of the new road. Much of the farmland was dug up for the road, and many jade objects were naturally exhumed.
王明達指出，當時，南京到杭州的「京杭國道」開通，浙江餘杭縣良渚鎮的公路剛好位在線上，那時在田地上大量取土，許多玉器自然出坑。
