This book clarifies the advent of Liangzhu Culture and analyses the
morphology, structure and internal social organization of
grass-root settlements, medium-size settlements and the ancient
city of Liangzhu, as well as the religious beliefs, ideology and
power mechanisms represented by jade. Further, the book explains
how the low-lying location and humid environment in the water-net
plain area prompted the creation of man-made platforms or pillars,
forming small and densely settled residential areas, and ultimately
the water villages of southern China. Developments between man and
nature accelerated the process of civilization, leading to the
polarization of social classes and pyramid-shaped residential
structures containing cities, towns and villages. Offering unique
insights into the social vitality and structure of Liangzhu
society, the book is one of the most important academic works on
interpreting the origins of Liangzhu Civilization and investigating
Chinese Civilization.
