This paper observes and obtains the development history of Pre-Zhou Culture by examining the archaeological culture in the west region of Guanzhong of the late Shang Dynasty.The first chapter mainly analyzes the concept of Pre-Zhou Culture,the related archaeological discoveries and academic history briefly as a foundation of research and puts forward the author's concepts and ideas of Pre-Zhou Culture and Pre-Zhou History at the same time.The second chapter has made sure of the range of the space and time in the west region of Guanzhong during Pre-Zhou Dynasty,combining the changes of the cultural pattern of regional archaeology caused by the development of Pre-Zhou Culture and has founded historical stages of Pre-Zhou Dynasty based on Pre-Zhou Culture.On the basis of the first two chapters,the third chapter of this paper summarizes the cultural features of archaeology and customs of two major series:the Liujia-Nianzipo and Zhengjiapo-the Suns from the residence,the tombs,the pottery and the tools and also discusses the cultural features in the region of late Pre-Zhou Dynasty at the same time so that the local features particularly stressed on by the early period in the region and the Pre-Zhou cultural integrality features particularly stressed on by the period from late Shang Dynasty to the time between Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty can be discussed and compared.Among these,the competition between Liujia-Nianzipo belonging to nomadic culture and Zhengjiapo-the Suns belonging to native culture is the regional background during the development of Pre-Zhou Culture;the influence of the cultural factor in the region during the period from late Shang Dynasty to the time between Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty and the usage of the new settlements and the tombs are the historical portrayal of the rise of Pre-Zhou Culture and the government in this region.This cultural pattern and factor are closely linked with the early Western Zhou Dynasty.So there is no doubt that this belongs to Pre-Zhou Culture.In consideration of the difference of the macroscopic appearance between early and late period in the region,in the fourth chapter the author provides some relevant speculations to early Pre-Zhou Culture as reference and criticism by observing the changing development of the cultural factors and the continuous change of the pattern and then analyzes the Pre-Zhou Culture development under the regional background.The migration of the people in Zhou Dynasty is a significant event which caused the regional pattern change.From the appearance,Pre-Zhou Culture is probably from Nianzipo type and the customs of the bones used for divination which were discovered in Caijiahe Relic shows the close relationship to Pre-Zhou Culture.Pre-Zhou Culture begun a new development period after the settlement in Zhouyuan and combined and developed Zhengjiapo Culture in the process of transformation.Meanwhile the Liujia Culture was compatible as well.Finally the rise of Pre-Zhou Culture came true.Pre-Zhou Culture begun to expand after late Pre-Zhou Dynasty,and it influenced and radiated all kinds of regional types in the west region of Guanzhong.Meanwhile,the system of the new settlements and the tombs appeared in Zhouyuan-FengGao and lasted until middle-late Western Zhou Dynasty.The development history of Pre-Zhou Culture is the transformation from Nianzipo nomadic culture to Zhengjiapo factor in the view of the center of government.But the implements types of Pre-Zhou Culture can be traced back to early Zhengjiapo period and even the origin of the second stage in Keshengzhuang from the viewpoint of typology.The migration and the transformation of Pre-Zhou Culture in the process of development are the main reasons causing this phenomenon.Therefore,the major objective of this paper is clarifying the connection between the development process of Pre-Zhou Culture and the archaeological culture in the west region of Guanzhong in late Shang Dynasty and recogonizing the development history of Pre-Zhou Culture.
