Recently, the National Cutural Heritage Administration held a press conference to introduce the latest achievements of the Chinese civilization exploration project. Li Qun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Director of the National Cutural Heritage Administration, introduced that the "Comprehensive Research on the Origin and Early Development of Chinese Civilization" (namely, the "Project of Exploring the Origin of Chinese Civilization") is a major scientific research project based on field archaeology, which combines natural science and humanities and social sciences to study the ancient history and culture of China. Since the implementation of the fifth phase of the Project in 2020, the time and space scope of the research has been further expanded, Focusing on 29 archaeological sites, including Liangzhu in Yuhang, Zhejiang, Shenmu Shimao in Shaanxi, and Erlitou in Yanshi, Henan, while deepening the overall understanding of the origin and early development stage of Chinese civilization, we have made a series of progress by carefully designing interdisciplinary comprehensive research at key time points and major events. Starting from approximately 5800 years ago, various regions on the land of China have experienced significant social differentiation, entering an accelerated stage of civilization origin. The period from 5800 to 3800 years ago can be divided into the ancient times. The ancient times can be further divided into three stages. The first stage was around 5800-5200 years ago. Represented by the Niuheliang Site in the western Liaohe River Basin, archaeological excavation work has discovered and confirmed that the first site of the site is a large group of platform foundation buildings composed of 9 platforms. The second stage is around 5200-4300 years ago. The Hongshan culture in the Xiliao River Basin began to decline, while the civilizations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River embarked on different development paths. The Jiaojia Site has newly discovered a city site from the middle period of the Dawenkou culture. The archaeological work at the Liangzhu Site revolves around the water conservancy system, with nearly 20 new dams discovered on the outskirts of Liangzhu north of Tangshan. The third stage is around 4300-3800 years ago. The Central Plains and northern regions have begun a new round of development, forming a historical trend centered around the Central Plains, laying the foundation for the development of Chinese history. The corner relief discovered at the Shimao archaeological site provides crucial evidence for the determination of the age and architectural properties of the Da Tai cornerstone sculpture. The Taosi site has confirmed the largest known prehistoric rammed earth building foundation. Multiple roads and walls on both sides of the central area of the Erlitou site have been newly discovered, dividing the capital city of Erlitou into multiple square and orderly grid areas, indicating a clear and orderly social structure at that time. The breakthrough work of the Sanxingdui Site was to preliminarily understand the distribution range and internal structure of the sacrificial area, and to excavate and clean up a large number of important relics such as six sacrificial pits. More than 12000 cultural relics were unearthed. Chang Huaiying, Director of the Xia Shang Zhou Archaeology Research Office at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "The discovery of the Erlitou Site proves the emergence of integrated layout and planning in urban construction models. This means maximizing the use and distribution of land at that time, and distinguishing functions within different land frameworks. This is a new level and pattern of social development, which presents a completely different social development state from Liangzhu and Shimao." Since the implementation of the fifth phase of the exploration project, interdisciplinary collaborative research has been continuously deepened. The study of dating methods for the white gray ground at the Bicun Site in Xingxian County, Shanxi Province has filled the technical gap in China. Animal archaeology and botany
