A large number of ironware from the Eastern Zhou dynasty to the early Western Han dynasty were excavated in the con-struction of the new area of Didang in Shaoxing city, including such tools and appliances as Jue, axe, spade, hoe, scythe, hay, adz, shovel, plough, saw, cut and chisel and a small amount of weaponry. The mutual verification of excavated iron and literature shows that the smelting iron industry appeared in the Yue state in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, and co-developed with the bronze industry, which not only effectively promoted the growth of the economic and military power, but also influenced the Baiyue tribe whose skills were inherited and developed in time and space.%绍兴迪荡新城建设过程中，在越国西施山遗址范围内出土了为数不少的东周至西汉初期的铁器，包括钁、斧、锸、锄、耜、镰、铡、锛、铲、犁、锯、凿、削、錾等生产、生活用具和少量兵器。出土铁器和文献相印证表明：古越国在春秋战国时期就已经有了冶铁业，并和青铜业共同发展，这不仅有效促进了古越国经济、军事力量的壮大，也影响了百越部族，其技艺在时间和空间上都有典型的传承与发展。
