Introduction

There were many different carishes that emerged and disappeared during the nearly ti period of china. Significant advances in textile weaving and building construction can be discovered from this era. The most well known of chinese cultures to emerge in around three thousand b c e was the long shang culture. These later cultures display evidence of an alete class with fortified city centres. We also know that the long shan honored the heavenly bodies of the sky with evidence of the construction of a great observatory.
