Its latter part, beginning with the rule of Pankang, is known as the Yin period, and it had several early capitals such as Chengchou. The three-legged "li" cooking pot and "xien" steaming dish date from this era, as do symbols which Fu Xi discovered on the back of a tortoise and Wenwang compiled into the I Ching. Its longest-surviving government was centered in what is now northern Henan in the Yellow River valley, around Anyang. There, marble and jade relics as well as "oracle bones" provide solid evidence for this dynasty, which was succeeded after Wuwang's uprising by the Zhou, and which followed the legendary Xia.
