As one of the earliest cultures in China, where did Hongshan Culture originate?
Hongshan Culture is a culture that originated from south-central Inner Mongolia to the west of Northeast China. It is one of the earliest cultures that can represent China culture. It has a history of five or six thousand years, and it lasts for a long time, with two thousand years. This kind of Hongshan Culture is mainly distributed in the Jehol area in the northeast and west of China. North to Inner Mongolia, south to Hebei, east to Liaoning, covering a large area of civilization relics.

At that time, this Hongshan cultural relic was discovered in 192 1 year, 1935 and named in 1954. In 1970s, China carried out an archaeological survey of Hongshan Culture's remains, which was very large and found thousands of remains. This has made great contribution and historical basis for the study of China and Hongshan Culture. It can be said that China's study of Hongshan Culture can finally enter a new stage because of the excavation of nearly a thousand relics. 20 14 China applied for Hongshan Culture World Heritage. Of course, this is inevitable.

Just like the early development of all cultures, Hongshan Culture was also a matriarchal society at the beginning, and it was also the heyday of matriarchal society, so inevitably, Hongshan Culture began to show signs of paternal society in the later period. Its economic form is naturally the same as other cultural relics originated in China, with agriculture as the mainstay, and by the way, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting are developed. Moreover, there are not only stone tools in Hongshan Culture, but also painted pottery, jade carving and bronze ware.

The figures unearthed in Hongshan Culture are quite different from those in the Central Plains. Their faces are round, their eye sockets are shallow, and their noses are flat and short, which has typical Mongolian characteristics. Therefore, everyone agrees that Hongshan Culture's race should belong to the Asian Mongolian race. And because there are funerary objects in Hongshan Culture's tombs, we can see from these funerary objects that their costumes are typical Chinese civilization.
