The five-day event will include the third China Archaeological Congress and the
opening ceremonies of the Yangshao Culture Museum of Miaodigou and the Yangshao
Village National Archaeological Park.
The year 2021 marks the 100-year anniversary of the birth of modern Chinese
archaeology, which started with the discovery of the Yangshao Culture.
The Yangshao culture, which can be traced back to 4,900BC to 2,900BC, is a
Neolithic culture that existed extensively along the Yellow River in China.
In 1921, the Swedish geologist Johan Gunnar Anderson and the Chinese
archaeologist Yuan Fuli first excavated the Yangshao site, located in the
Yangshao village, Mianchi county, in the city of Sanmenxia, hence the name the
Yangshao Culture was given.
The event was jointly held by the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences, the National Cultural Heritage Administration and
the provincial government of Henan.
