Features: Who created humans? Who created civilization? We have been puzzled for thousands of years. It is modern archaeology that has led us out of mythology and paved a scientific path for exploring the origins of humans and civilization. So, what is archaeology, and what is archaeological culture? From the distant Stone Age to the uninterrupted five thousand years of civilization, the Chinese nation nurtured by the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers has left an inexhaustible treasure trove in the course of history. The painted pottery of the Yangshao culture dyes the night sky before dawn with a splendid backdrop, followed by the quiet rise of castle cities in the (Longshan period) into the realm of civilization. The slaves, whose blood flowed like rivers, returned their skin to the land, while the fierce and greedy Taotie froze their roars in bronze daggers. They are like the exoskeletons of civilization, witnessing the tremors of the earth as humanity transcends the mortal world. Countless ancient sites form an endless forest, and archaeology is the compass that guides you through it. The systematically organized archaeological cultures are clear paths. The compass and the paths fulfill your dream of wandering through the forest. As long as you explore with determination, you can reach any corner of history with your thoughts.
