A great number of Lungshanoid sites have been found

and excavated in the last two decades and also generally
been classified into several cultures with local names,

such as the Ch*u-chia-ling culture, the Liang-chu culture,
the T'an-shih-shan culture, the Ta-wen-k'ou culture and

the Ch ing-lien-kang culture. Since the number of sites
,
classified into the Ch'ing-lien^kang culture is so great

— in Kiangsu province alone there are more than 65 sites

— and as the study has been so intensive, Wu Shan-ching,

a Chinese scholar in mainland, recently has suggested that

the Ch'ing-lien-kang culture should be subdivided into a

Chiang-pei (northern bank of Yang-tzu River) type and a

Chiang-nan (southern bank of Yang-tzu River) type (Fig.2,3).

He also suggested that the Chiang-pei type can be classified

into four stages, the earliest being Ch'ing-lien-kang,

followed by Liu-lin, Hua-t*ing, and Upper Ta-wen-k»ou.

The Chiang-nan type can be divided into three stages,

namely, Ma-chia-pin, Pei-yin-yan-ying and Sung-tse (Wu 1973*
