Yangshao Culture Add in Economy: Agriculture Yangshao culture of the tribes inherited the pre-yangshao culture of the traditional mode of production, agricultural production is still dominated by the cultivation of millet crops.The remains of millet are often found in important sites, such as the jars and urns in a house in Banpo, Xi'an, and the remains of millet shells in a small cellar in another house, in particular, there is a cave in the accumulation of up to several tons of millet shells. More or less millet shells have also been found at important sites such as beishouling, Quanhu village, Xiaomeng village and Wang Wan. Another drought-tolerant crop, panicum, has also been found at the Jiangzhai, Xi'an site in Lintong District. Near the northern bank of the Yangtze, traces of rice have been found at the lower Wang Gang site in Xichuan, Henan province. In addition, in Luoyang Sun Qitun, Zhengzhou Linshanzhai, Xichuan Xiji and other sites, have also found traces of grain. The above situation shows that Yangshao culture in the scope of agricultural production is relatively developed, food crop varieties is not only a millet. At the same time, people have mastered the technique of growing vegetables. In a house on Banpo site, an earthenware pot is filled with carbonized tea seeds such as cabbages or mustard. The Yangshao culture was in the primitive stage of hoeing and farming, and the production level was still low with the method of slash-and-burn and the rotation of the land. In the early stages there may be wooden tools such as pointed sticks and excavating land such as stone shovels and stone hoes. At this time, most of the stone axe shape thick, oval cross-section, suitable for cutting trees to reclaim wasteland. Crops are harvested with rectangular stone knives and ceramic knives with notches on the sides. Grain processing using stone grinding disc, stone grinding stick and wood pestle, stone pestle and so on. The middle and late Miaodigou, Dahecun type, appeared a large number of tongue-shaped or heart-shaped stone shovel, grinding relatively smooth. In Linru Dazhang village, Zhengzhou Dahe village and other sites, but also unearthed a large, all-body polished long-shaped stone shovel or shoulder stone shovel. During this period, grain ears were harvested with polished rectangular stone knives, some with holes. All of these tools have improved over the earlier half-slope types and have resulted in increased productivity. Livestock farming is also a step up from the early Neolithic period, with pigs, dogs, sheep and a few horse bones found. More chicken bones. Probably domesticated.[1]

Handicraft industry Yangshao culture pottery industry developed, a good grasp of the selection of clay, modeling, decoration and other processes. Use Mud Bar dish to build a law to form more, use slow wheel to trim edge, decorate all sorts of exquisite grain in implement surface.At this time the pottery is mainly red pottery, gray pottery, black pottery followed. Red pottery is divided into fine clay red pottery and sand red pottery. The main raw material is clay, some also doped a small number of sand particles. In Yangshao pottery, fine clay pottery with a unique shape, the surface was red, polished, and beautiful patterns, is the most famous at the time. Fine clay pottery reflects the level of pottery technology at that time, with a certain representativeness, so the archaeological Yangshao culture is often referred to as the culture of painted pottery. Xi'an Banpo village excavation of the pottery plate is also a Yangshao culture products[1].

Gathering and hunting Yangshao culture period, the middle reaches of the Yellow River tribes of the collection and fishing and hunting economy occupy a relatively important position. In the vicinity of the gentile camps, there are rivers of all sizes and relatively wide waters, rich in aquatic products, conducive to fishing activities. Stone and pottery net pendants, bone fishhooks and harpoons were commonly found at the site, indicating that fishing methods of the clan ancestors at that time included both net fishing and spear fishing. Painted pottery from many sites is depicted with fish nets. The painted pottery pots of Banpo type and some other painted pottery vessels often have fishnet patterns and fish patterns, which are obviously true portrayals of long-term fishing activities[1].
