The facts show that thegeneration of a culture, and geography, the natural environment, clima te change areclosely related to development. However ,the jades of the Lingjia tan graves in thecustom of jade, the shapes, combination of features, crafts etc.inheriting theJia nghuai Ningzhen Area region Beiyinya ngying of the cultural tradition.In addition,Dawenkou culture under the Yellow River, Yangshao culture , the HongshanCulture in Northeast China, as well as the lower reaches of the Yangtze River duringthe same period the impact of cultural penetration, on the basis of mutual integration,learn from each other.Finally, I discuss the reasons of the jades of Hongshan cultureand Lingjia tan culture emerged at the same time.That is to say,Human civiliza tion and socia l progress and development will besubject to geography and have been affected by the natural environment andconstraints.Partâ…£:Epilogue.I discussed the reasons producted at the sametime between the jades of Hongshan Culture and Lingjia tan's.
