Hemudu Culture
The Hemudu Culture is the representative primitive culture of the earlier Neolithic Age (6,000-7,000 years ago) in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As the site was found in the Hemudu Village in Zhejiang Province, the remains found reflecting this specific culture are known as Hemudu Culture.
In the late 1970s, archaeologists started the excavation and the result was rather astounding. Thousands of tools made of stone, bones and wood had been dug out, and they were surprised to find that decorative patterns and designs were commonly carved on these tools. The groundsill of excavated houses and surrounding structures brought the living scenes of our ancestors into perspective. It is believed that stilt houses using columns, a common architecture during those times, are still adopted nowadays in Yunnan Province.
