Shang Dynasty Bronze Animal Faces Liangzhu Jade Animal Faces

The Liangzhu Culture, a highly developed ancient culture in the late Neolithic Age, is in the lower reaches of the Changjiang River and Taihu Area. It seems that Liangzhu Culture has little clear inherited relation to the Maqiao Culture, which appeared later. Some experts have expatiated the discontinuity and the development of the Liangzhu Culture from various angles, including reviewing the environmental archaeology and important historical figures. As a highly developed ancient culture in the late Neolithic Age, how does Liangzhu Culture come down? Why does the pattern of the "shoumian" revive on the bronzes? If the cultural factor moves towards the northern part because of natural disasters and battles of territorial expansion, how does it melt into the local Central Plains culture? How to prove it? Combining the research results, theories and methods of history, archaeology and anthropology, this article analyzes the relationship between the "shoumian" pattern of the Liangchu Culture and the ones on the bronzes of Shang and Zhou dynasty, in order to expound the system of Liangzhu Culture and Central Plains and it helps to understand the development of the Liangzhu Culture and the Chinese culture.
