ANCIENT CHINA
Use these maps of China to see the areas of settlement in the ancient world. As with other ancient cultures, the earliest ancient culture in China centered around large rivers. From 6500 BCE, in the Neolithic Age, farming was done in the valleys of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers by the people of the Yangshao and Longshan cultures.
The Shang civilization grew in the Yellow River valley and was the earliest in Chinese history, starting around 2600 BCE. The beginnings of a pictographic language happened in this
period. More complicated bronze casted pieces were made. This civilization came to an end in 1027 BCE.
The Zhou dynasty lasted for 700 years. The early civilization started in the Wei River valley. Warring states developed. There was an expansion of territories, to the north and south. Large populations of people were mobilized for war and for public works. Cities were built.
Late in this period the emperors of the Han dynasty ruled China. Trade moved westward and the Silk Road became established as a route. Confucius established a new philosophy and Taoism was developed. Paper was invented. The Great Wall was built gradually in sections.
Traditional Chinese culture as we know it today was beginning.
