A Study on the Hong-San Culture of Dong-Yi based for Five Thousand Years of Chinese

The author explained the Hong-San Culture centered in the Liao-xi(遼西)area of Dong-Yi based for Five Thousand Years of Chinese. It was the product of people ethnically different from the populations of the Yang-shao(仰韶) complex around the central Yellow and Wei River valleys and the Long-shan(龍山) complex at the Lower Yellow River(黃河) basin. Author also explained the remains of Hong-san culture-the altars, the ancestral shrines, various ritual artifacts including clay human figurines, the large stone tombs, jade animal carvings-which means the Dong-Yi inheritance. And The Hong-shan sculptures are realistic, while sculptures elsewhere are often stylized. There is a clear continuity from the Hong-shan Culture towards the Lower Xia-jia-dian Culture(夏家店下層文化) that still used pottery decorated with cord marks and incised patterns. And the nomadism which had developed was the cause for such a great change between Lower Xia-jia-dian and Upper Xia-jia-dian. Recentely China say that Chinese history are 5,000 years and exist ‘mystery nation’ on Hong-san Culture area which means ancient Dong-Yi region.
