The
Banpo Village was an authentic matriarchal clan community of the Yangshao
Culture. The Yangshao Culture belonged to China's Neolithic Age. It
was named after the Yangshao Village which was discovered in Mianchi
County, Henan Province in 1921.
More than 400 sites like this have been discovered on the Central
Shaanxi Plain in the Yellow River Valley. The Yellow River Valley
has always enjoyed the reputation of being the birthplace of China's
ancient culture. Production tools, such as the knife, axe, daze and
chisel, were mostly made of stone by means of grinding and polishing.
There were also chipped stone implements and bone objects as well.
Pottery utensils for daily use wee chiefly made from refined terra-cotta
and red sandy clay. Some objects of refined terra-cotta were decorated
with zoomorphic and geometric designs. Agriculture dominated the economic
life of that age, while fishing and domestic animal rearing came second.
All these finds give evidence to the fact that matriarchal clan communities
came to their prime. With so many pieces of painted pottery, Yangshao
Culture is also known as the Painted Pottery Culture.
