Xiyin Village, Xia County, about 20 kilometers northeast of Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, was originally a remote village, but it became world-famous due to an archaeological excavation by Mr. Li Ji in 1926. At that time, after one and a half months of hard excavation, Li Ji finally determined that the Xiyin Village site belonged to the Neolithic painted pottery culture.

He traveled to Europe many times and played an important role in the cultural exchange between the East and the West. However, he never wore western clothes. In his later years, Qian Mu wrote: "Zhongshu studied in England and heard that he wore royal robes instead of suits all year round. After returning from traveling in Europe and America, he still wore robes.
