参考译文
Yangshao Culture
The Yangshao culture (5000 BC – 3000 BC) falls within the time frame of the New Stone Age. The culture is distributed throughout the central regions and peripheral areas where the tributaries of the Yellor River converge. The Yangshao culture is mainly an agricultural one that features production tools with advanced polishing techniques that produce exquisite stone ware. The colors, geometric and animal-shaped patterns are the most striking characteristics of the Yangshao culture. That is why the Yangshao culture is often called the Color Pottery culture.
