The Cradle of Chinese Civilization
In Chinese history, the Yellow River is not just a river; it stands for the origins of culture and civilization. It played an important role in the early development of Chinese civilization.
Chinese refer to the Yellow river as "the Mother River" and "the Cradle of Chinese Civilization". That is because the Yellow River was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilizations in the Xia (2100–1600 BC) and Shang (1600–1046 BC) eras — the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.
2 million years ago prehistoric (Peking) man is shown to have lived in the Yellow River Basin.
Moreover, the Chinese regard yellow as a color of ancient origins: an emblem of the loess land the Yellow River flows through, the emperor, the yellow skin of Chinese, and the legendary Chinese Dragon, from which Chinese are said to descend from.
The Yellow River's Contribution to the World
Yellow River civilization, i.e. early Chinese civilization, originated from the middle and lower reaches of the river, and then spread across China, East Asia, and has even taken root in many corners of the Western world.
Gunpowder, the compass, paper making, and printing — all of these inventions not only promoted Chinese cultural development, but also spread to the rest of the world, making an important contribution to the development of humankind.
The Development of Yellow River Civilization
Yellow River civilization developed from the Neolithic Age, over 3,000 years ago, when a lot of regional cultures were booming. Some were consumed, and others became extinct, as "China" grew.
During the development and fusion of many other cultures in the expansion and assimilation period, Yellow River civilization developed through the Zhou Dynasty (1045–256 BC), until the unification of China.
In agriculture and technology, the Yellow River civilization was more advanced and progressive compared with the other contemporary civilizations in the world. Therefore, the Yellow River civilization of around 3,000 years ago was called "the precocious civilization".
Then China was ruled from Xi'an, still in the Yellow River's basin, for most of the next 1,000 years.
Neolithic Yellow River Civilization (6000–800 BC)
Yellow River civilization in Neolithic times is divided into regional "cultures" (mini civilizations) according to archaeological evidence.
Civilization in the early Neolithic age (6000–5000 BC) is represented by the Peiligang Culture; in the middle Neolithic age (5000–3000 BC) by the Yangshao Culture; and in the latter Neolithic age (3000–800 BC) by the Longshan Culture.
Peiligang Culture (about 6000–5000 BC) 裴李岗文化
The Peiligang culture was so named as it was excavated in Peiligang Village, just south of Zhengzhou, now the Yellow River's biggest city. It is characterized by vertical cave dwellings, growing grain crops, as well as shiny reddish-brown pottery and polished stone implements.
Laoguantai Culture (about 6000–5000 BC) 老官台文化
Laoguantai Culture was found in the Laoguantai Village ruins in Xihua County, just east of Xi'an. Focused on primitive agriculture, they had stone knives, stone spades, and stone axes.
Their ceramics were very primitive, mainly using clay tablet patches. Ring foot bowls, painted pottery pots, and three-legged pots were the most characteristic types. Their houses were round, as were their pits for storing things. Their dead were buried in rectangular pits with pottery and other articles.
Beixin Culture (about 6000–5000 BC) 北辛文化
The most representative site is in Beixin, Teng County, Zaozhuang Prefecture, Shandong Province (400 km east of Zhengzhou and 300 km south of Jinan). Beixin Culture dwellings were all half-crypt caves. Rectangular pits without coffins were popular for burials.
Stone implements, and then bone, horn, teeth and clam tools were developed. Grinding was the main type of craftsmanship, and tan-colored potter was typical.
