Gansu Yangshao Culture (English: Gansu Yangshao Culture)

Japanese: 甘粛仰韶文化 - かんしゅくぎょうしょうぶんか（英語表記）Gān sù yǎng sháo wén huà

A Neolithic culture based on agriculture and animal husbandry that was distributed in the Gansu and Qinghai regions in northwestern China. JG Anderson, the discoverer of the Yangshao culture, discovered many ruins with painted pottery in the Tao River basin in Gansu Province and on the banks of the Xining River in Qinghai Province in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in 1923-24, and created a chronology of six periods in Gansu: the Qijia, Yangshao (Banshan), Machuan, Xindian, Siwa, and Shajing periods. This was the first chronology for the prehistoric period, and since the first three periods lacked bronze products, he placed them in the Late Neolithic or Chalcolithic Period, and since the last three periods were accompanied by bronze tools, he placed them in the Early Bronze Age.

中国の西北部，甘粛･青海地方に分布した農耕と牧畜を基調とする新石器時代の文化。仰韶文化の発見者J.G.アンダーソンは，1923‐24年黄河上流の甘粛省洮河流域と青海省西寧河岸で彩色土器を伴う多数の遺跡を発見し，斉家期，仰韶(半山)期，馬廠期，辛店期，寺窪期，沙井期という甘粛六期の編年を行った。これは先史時代に関する最初の編年で，前の3期は青銅製品を欠いているから新石器時代後期または金石併用期に，後の3期は青銅器を伴うので青銅器時代初期にあてた。
