Damaidi (simplified Chinese: 大麦地; traditional Chinese: 大麥地; pinyin: Dàmàidì; literally: Big wheat field), is the location of 3,172 sets of early Chinese petroglyphs, carved into the cliffs which feature 8,453 individual figures. These are believed to represent possibly the earliest writing system known in China.
Damaidi itself is a small village located in Zhongwei County, a subdivision of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in Central China, set amid the Weining Mountains on the north bend of the Yellow River.
