Quick Summary

The Qingliangang culture was a Neolithic culture in China, primarily located in Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang, and southern Shandong. It succeeded the Hemudu culture and was characterized by ring-footed and flat-bottomed pots, wide-mouthed vessels (gui), tripods, and serving stands. Early fine-paste redware transitioned to fine-paste gray and black ware in later periods. Artifacts also included polished stone tools and jade ornaments. The Qingliangang culture had ties with the Majiabang culture and influenced southeastern cultures.12
