Research On The Archaeological Cultures Of Neolithic Age In Ningzhen Area And Huantaihu Area

The archaeological cultures of Ningzhen area and Huantaihu area mainly containsBeiyinyangying culture, Xuecheng culture, Majiabang culture, Songze Culture,Liangzhu culture, Qianyangshan culture and Guangfulin culture. In this article, wemainly discuss the stages and types, social development stage and cultural exchange ofthe culture. This article can be divided as follows.Part1IntroductionPart2Research on Beiyinyangying culture and Xuecheng culture in Ningzhenarea.Beiyinyangying culture can be divided into five stages. On the basis of it, werespectively analyze and compare it with Majiabang culture and Songze Culture inorder to find the age of Beiyinyangying culture and the relationship between it and theother two different regions. This article preliminary discuss the cultural factors ofXuecheng culture, then we make a horizontal comparison with the archaeologicalcultures in Huantaihu area in order to preliminarily find the distribution time of it.Part3Research on the archaeological cultures in Huantaihu areaThis part can be divided into five sections.Firstly, research on Majiabang culture.According to the typical site of Majiabang culture remains, it can be divided intothree stages, five periods. By comparing the artifacts, remains of other sites are alsoincorporated into the stage of Majiabang culture, thus we preliminary establish thespace-time framework of it. Through the typological research, Majiabang culture iscomposed of two types, Luotuodun type and Caoxieshan type. With the preliminaryanalysis of tombs of Majiabang culture, this article find that the society form of it isfrom homogenization to appearing the gap between rich and poor. We also analyze theinteraction between it and Hemudu culture, Beixin culture.Secondly, research on Songze culture. According to the typical site of Songze culture remains, Songze culture can bedivided into five stages and seven periods, then the space-time framework of it ispreliminary established. Through the typological research, Songze Culture iscomposed of three types, Nanhebang type, Songze type and Xujiawan type. Accordingto the preliminary analysis of the funeral customs of Songze culture, we find the tombof it can be divided into four levels, and the tomb shape, the burial objects betweenthem have significant differences. We also find that large tomb and small tomb wereburied apart, this means that it already had a preliminary social stratification in thesociety of Songze Culture. After analyzing the interaction of Songze culture and thesurrounding archaeological culture, we find that the sites of Nanhebang Songze cultureremains handed down from beginning to the end of the Songze culture. By means ofthe detailed carbon14data and relative age of Nanhebang Songze Culture remains andother Songze culture remains, we can draw a conclusion that the relative age of Songzeculture was4000-4000BC.Thirdly, research on Liangzhu culture.According to the analysis of typical sites of Liangzhu cultural remains, it can bedivided into four stages, five periods. And space-time framework of Liangzhu culturehas been gradually established. On the basis of stages, we make preliminary analysis ofthe typology of the jadeware of Liangzhu culture, and then summarize the evolutioncharacteristics of it. Burial graves of Liangzhu culture, reflection of the the socialstructure and form are analyzed. According to the Gaochendun cemetery and Fanshancemetery, Liangzhu culture cemetery is divided into seven levels, and there are hugedifferences between the tomb shape and burial objects. Through the observation of thetypical layout graveyard, we find that Liangzhu culture has social relationships whichis above blood relationship. Liangzhu culture and the interaction between it andsurrounding archaeological culture were analyzed.Area of the south of Qiantang river has not been belong to the Huantaihu area,and the archaeological culture in the region is not within the scope of this article. Butas the area may belong to Liangzhu culture area, and more importantly, find theconnotation of in Ningshao area plays an important role in finding the home ofLiangzhu culture.Therefore, this article will discuss this proposition. Through theanalysis about the remains of Mingshanhou, Tashan and Xiaodongmen, we find thatthe number of Liangzhu culture factors in typical sites is high and the types are various. Just as Liangzhu culture "overall move to " NingShao area, we could surely call thefollow-up culture after Hemudu culture Liangzhu culture. At the same time, thetradition of Hemudu culture,which was at the late stage of Liangzhu culture in thesouth of Qiantang river area, stubbornly continued, and there still existed a few uniquelocal cultural factors.Forthly, research on Qianshanyang cultureQianshanyang culture is a newly established archaeological culture in recent years,this article preliminary discuss the connotative meaning, culture factors, ages and otherissues of it, we get a conclusion that Qianshanyang culture is probably likelydeveloped by Liangzhu culture.Fifthly, research on Guangfulin cultureAs Qianshanyang culture, Guangfulin culture is also an identified and namedarchaeological culture in recent years. In this article, we preliminary discuss theconnotation, stages, exchange with other cultures and time of it.Sixthly, research on the analysis in hierarchical relationship in Huantaihu areaneolithic archaeological culture.Songze culture was developed by Majiabang culture, and then it changed intoLiangzhu culture. It has become the consensus of the academia, we also agree with it.In this article, we discuss the decline and fall, the evolution of Liangzhu culture, andalso conclude that Liangzhu culture is likely evolve into Qianshanyang culture. Due tothe connotation of Guangfulin culture is still relatively undefined, its genealogy istemporarily not sure. In short, the hierarchical relationship in Huantaihu area neolithicarchaeological culture can be preliminary established. Majiabang culture evolved intoSongze culture, Songze culture evolved into Liangzhu culture, than it evolved intoQianshanyang culture. The hierarchical relationship in Huantaihu area neolithicarchaeological culture belongs to "series of archaeological culture area".
