One of the main features of the Yellow River civilization is the farming civilization. Half-slope civilization left many implements such as half-slope human face net pattern basin, half-slope pottery, his production tools, some animal bones. The largest and best preserved primitive society matrilineal clan village site in the Yellow River basin. Half-slope site excavation, the first time a primitive clan settlement site for a large area of exposure, established a new cultural type, for the study of China's Yellow River Basin primitive clan society, the nature of the settlement layout, economic development, cultural life and so on provides a more complete information. For the study of China's primitive social history and Yangshao culture has an important scientific value of staging. In northern China, the 400-millimeter rainline constitutes a natural demarcation between cultivation and animal husbandry, but the marvelous thing is that the direction of the Great Wall of China in ancient times roughly coincided with this. The southern side of the Great Wall belongs to the warm temperate zone, and the northern side belongs to the middle temperate zone; the southern side is a semi-arid area, and the northern side is an arid area; the southern side belongs to the forest-steppe, and the northern side is the steppe and desert-steppe and desert; the southern side is the northern boundary of the distribution of loess, and the northern side is widely distributed with desert-type soils; the northern side of the geomorphology is dominated by wind erosion, and the southern side is dominated by water erosion; these special natural conditions determine the characteristics of the agricultural and animal husbandry industries, with cultivation to the south and livestock production to the north of the Great Wall. These special natural conditions determine the characteristics of the agricultural and pastoral industry, with cultivation to the south of the Great Wall and pastoral production to the north. The prosperity and weakness of the Chinese dynasties, the advance and retreat of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the conflict and fusion of nationalities are all unfolded by the Great Wall.
The Thule Animal Husbandry Civilization is the industrial and cultural expression of the northern ethnic minorities. In the Spring and Autumn period, the prelude to the regional differentiation of agriculture and animal husbandry was opened by the call of honoring the king and hobbling the barbarians. The line of demarcation between agriculture and animal husbandry shifted north and south between Longmen (Hancheng, Shaanxi), Jieshi (Suizhong, Liaoning) and the Great Wall, depending on the strengths of the Central Plains Dynasty and the ethnic regimes in the north. This semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area between the agricultural area and the pastoral area became a big stage for the two production types of agriculture and animal husbandry in ancient China to fight, exchange and integrate. The Yellow River farming civilization is a socio-economic, cultural and technological system formed on the basis of dry farming in the north. However, the Yellow River farming civilization still plays a significant role in and influences the history and culture of China in the historical period. Whether it is the east-west axis of China's basic economic zone (Zhou-Qin, Han-Tang Dynasty) or the north-south axis (Song-Yuan, Ming-Qing Dynasty), the Yellow River basin has always been in the center of linking north and south, communicating east and west. Sima Qian took the era of the five emperors as the beginning of Chinese civilization. Although the five emperors had a wide range of activities, the basic area was still in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Chinese agriculture beyond the four descendants is the material basis for the early development of the Yellow River civilization. The Xia, Shang, and Western Zhou dynasties were based on the agricultural areas of Fenzhu, Jisi, and Jingwei in the Yellow River basin, formed the earliest state form, established the basic characteristics of the Chinese nation, set up a perfect system of rituals and music, and facilitated the in-depth development of the Central Plains agricultural area. The Shiji - Cargo Shik Lianzhuan (The Records of the Grand Historian) divides the basic economic zones of the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties into four regions, namely Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, and the area north of Longmen Jieshi (Dragon Gate Jieshi). The so-called Shandong and Shanxi, bounded by Mount Banshan (or Mount Hua), were actually the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Shandong's Wei, Han, Qi and Lu were "narrow and crowded", and agriculture developed in the fine direction of "diligent and careful field management" and "exhaustive land force", laying the foundation of traditional Chinese agricultural science and technology. Shanxi is the Qin land of the Warring States, the Qin and Han dynasties, strong and weak branches, migrant real Guanzhong, dedicated to the improvement and development of the agricultural areas in the capital city, the construction of agricultural water conservancy and the promotion of iron plow and oxen ploughing scale and benefits significantly more than the surrounding areas. Guanzhong was said to be "one-third of the world, but only three people, but the measure of its wealth, six of the Shijiazhuang". After a long period of ethnic integration in the central plains of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the boundaries between Hu and Han gradually disappeared, the structure of agriculture and animal husbandry gradually rationalized, production relations were adjusted, and the socio-economic development regained vitality. The Sui and Tang dynasties made it possible for Chinese civilization to be based for the first time on three major types of agriculture (animal husbandry in the north, dry farming in the central plains, and rice farming in the south of the Yangtze River), all of which were united and at a similar level of development. The political, economic and cultural "synergy" generated by the integration of peoples and the unification of the North and South forged a vibrant and dynamic, confident and open Sui and Tang culture, which showed unprecedented prosperity. The Yellow River farming civilization developed to its peak, political, economic and cultural prosperity for a while, y affecting the historical process of China and the world.
