ancient culture
Quick Summary
The Daxi culture was an ancient Chinese culture that flourished in the middle and lower Yangtze River valley during the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE. It shared many characteristics with the contemporary Qujialing culture, including rice cultivation, distinctive ring-footed vessels, and black pottery decorated with red designs applied after firing. While the precise relationship between Daxi and Qujialing remains debated, evidence suggests a transmission of ceramic features from Daxi to Qujialing.12
