| book description |

This book serves as a sacred site that empirically attests to the 5,000-year-long history of Chinese civilization. It represents an earthen construction-based civilization, a water conservancy-oriented civilization, and a rice cultivation-centered civilization. Moreover, its highly developed jade system is unparalleled. In addition, it holds a crucial position in the history of the development of China's ancient capitals. This book delves into the discovery history, layout and functional zoning, construction techniques and engineering, archaeological progress, and the relationship between Liangzhu civilization and Chinese civilization at large. By doing so, it unveils the profound connotations and far-reaching impacts of Liangzhu civilization.
