Announcement of the top 5 Chinese archaeological sites for 5,000-year-old civilization

Song Minh |

The National Cultural Heritage Administration of China has just announced 5 Chinese archaeological sites showing the origin of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.

According to the Global Times, this is an important testament to the diversity and integration of Chinese civilization in the context of the 100th anniversary of the birth of modern Chinese archaeology.

The important achievements of the 5 relics show the historical process of the origin and development of the new stone culture in the Hoang Ha river basin, Duong Tu river basin and Chau Giang river basin.

dating back 6,700-4,500 years, the Shi'ao site in Yueoi, Zhejiang Province, Eastern China is one of the largest and oldest ancient rice fields in the world. It provides evidence that rice cultivation is an important economic pillar for the social development of the Ha Mo Do culture and the Luong Chu culture in the future.

Yanshanzhai relic in Anh Duc, Guangdong province, southern China is a settlement of Shixia culture, where about 66 ancient tombs and hundreds of relics in tombs have been excavated. This is the largest settlement in the new stone period discovered in the Linh Nam area and has great significance for the in-depth research on the interaction between Shixia cultures and Luong Chu culture, as well as the development in the Linh Nam area in the pre- Qin period (the ancient stone period until 221 BC).

Nanzuo site in Khanh Duong, Jilin province, Northwest China is a large-scale settlement of the 700,000-000-year-old Chinaese culture - the culture of the new stone period from the middle of the Imperial Ha River.

This location is an important reference for the study of the origin and development of civilization in the Hoang Ha River basin, and at the same time a major breakthrough in the study of the history and origin of the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization.

dating back about 6,000 years and with an area of about 80,000 square meters, the Gedachuan site in Truong Gia Xuyen, Cam Tuc province is a settlement of the Nguoi Thieu culture. The Geyachuan Site confirms that China's Western Capital Plateau is another central area of the Northern Hue culture.

The discovery of large pits storing millet and grains provides authentic evidence to study the early period of the Nguoi Thieu culture.

The Dengcaogouliang site in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, Northern China existed from 8,000 to 4,000 years ago.

Located in the transition area between the nomadic culture of Northern China and the cultivated culture of the Central Delta, this location is an important channel for cultural exchange between the East China Sea and inland culture in the West.

Four different periods of archaeological and cultural relics have been discovered here, proving that this area has been an important site of inter-ethnic and cross-cultural integration since ancient times, while providing valuable information to explore the process of multi-ethnicity and integration in Northern China.
