Huang Zhanyue
Chinese archaeologist
Huang Zhanyue (simplified Chinese: 黄展岳; traditional Chinese: 黃展岳; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: N̂g Tián-ga̍k; August 1926 – 22 April 2019) was a Chinese archaeologist. He was a professor at the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and an honorary academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. His research focus was on the archaeology of China from the Han dynasty to the Tang dynasty.
Biography
Huang was born in August 1926 into a poor peasant family in Nan'an, Fujian, Republic of China. He was accepted into the Department of History of Peking University in 1950, and chose archaeology as his major two years later. After graduating in 1954, he was assigned to work for the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (now part of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). In 1956, Huang became a doctoral student at the Institute of Archaeology with a focus on the archaeology of Han to Tang dynasties.
During the Cultural Revolution, he was sent to perform hard labour at a May Seventh Cadre School in Henan. When the journal Acta Archaeologica Sinica resumed publication in 1972, Huang was transferred back to the Institute of Archaeology to serve as an editor. He later became deputy chief editor of the journal.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Huang Zhanyue” as chinese archaeologist. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as chinese archaeologist. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q63384403. VIAF identifies the subject as 68789544. The Library of Congress control number is nr91043672. 1 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1926, 2019, 1950 and 1954.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
