WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Yangshao culture, (5000–3000 bce) prehistoric culture of China’s Huang He (Yellow River) basin, represented by several sites at which painted pottery has been uncovered.

Detailed explanation-2: -Longshan culture was agricultural, and its mix of crops was similar to that found in Yangshao culture. But in addition to the tools of agriculture, Longshan sites yield a rich harvest of spearheads and arrowheads, suggesting the prevalence of warfare.

Detailed explanation-3: -Introduction. The Yangshao culture (ca. 5000–3000 cal BC) is an important archaeological culture that existed in Neolithic China for the longest duration and had the largest area centred on the middle Yellow River region (Liu and Chen, 2012).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Longshan culture developed from the early Dawenkou tradition, also in Shandong province, from around 3000 BCE, and would then replace the well-established Yangshao culture in northern and central China.

Detailed explanation-5: -During China’s Neolithic Age, how did Longshan culture differ from Yangshao culture? Yangshao culture was concentrated along the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Millet-farming village communities have been discovered there. Longshan was further to the east, along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
