Liangzhu Culture Museum

About 13 kilometers northwest of the center of Hangzhou is Liangzhu Town, Yuhang District. This is an ordinary town, but it has a very poetic name - Liangzhu: a beautiful small island in the water, "Meili island". In 1936, a discovery by Mr. Shi xingeng, a native of Liangzhu, made this beautiful and poetic name known to more people, and Liangzhu became famous from then on. This discovery of Mr. Shi xingeng is the "Liangzhu Culture" which was named by archaeologists after the earliest discovery place "Liangzhu". Since Mr. Shi xingeng excavated the Liangzhu site in Liangzhu, subsequent archaeologists have uncovered the long-standing history of Liangzhu culture with their shovels, and a concept has gradually become clear: about 5300-4200 years ago, Liangzhu Culture lived and multiplied in the vast land of Taihu Basin in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River More than a thousand years. After fully absorbing the nutrients of Majiabang culture and Songze culture, Liangzhu culture has created a splendid chapter of 5000 years of Chinese civilization and ushered in a new era of civilization which can be called a nuclear Revolution: ploughing rice farming, fine and developed handicraft industry, large-scale construction projects, complex social structure, complete etiquette system, and outstanding culture represented by jade, lacquer and black pottery My artistic achievements Although there are still many unsolved mysteries about Liangzhu culture, thousands of years ago, scholars and experts were fascinated by the spirit charm of Liangzhu ancient country. They praised that the dawn of Chinese civilization rose from Liangzhu!

With the development of agriculture and the appearance of surplus products, handicraft industry was separated from agriculture, and various kinds of special handicraftsmen, such as pottery industry, jade industry and wood industry, emerged. The complicated division of labor has divided into mental labor class and physical labor class, which has become an important prerequisite for the formation of Liangzhu civilization.
