After then, two cultures having different cultural origins started to develop in the same region where Under xiajiadian culture had been present. Of these, "Weiyingzi culture" was present in the western part of Liaoning Province, in which the eastern subtype of Under xiajiadian culture had been sustained. On the other hand, in the case of southwestern part of Inner Mongolia. Under xiajiadian culture was substituted for "Under xiajiadian culture." Among these two newly developed cultures, Weiyingzi culture was shined into the new culture about 10th century B.C.. which was named as "Ling-he culture", considering that the past researches on the characteristics of the culture at this stage. For the cultural patterns of "Upper xiajiadian culture" and "Ling-he culture", the differences in the archaeological traits between two cultures become remarkable nowadays.
