The Daxi culture ( Chinese  大溪 文化 , Pinyin Dàxī Wénhuà , English Daxi Culture ) is a Neolithic culture in China . The name comes from the Daxi site discovered in 1959 in Wushan County ( 巫山 县 ), Sichuan Province (which is now part of Chongqing ). It was mainly widespread on the Middle Yangtze , in the mountainous areas of west Hubei and east Chongqing, around Dongting Lake ( Hunan ) and part of the Jiang Han plain . Several excavations in the second half of the 20th century brought to light richly furnished graves with burial objects made of bones, jade, stone tools and mostly red pottery. It is dated to the years 4400-3300 BC. Dated.

Economic life consisted mainly of rice cultivation . Fish also played a role in the diet. The culture is assigned to the Fan-dao-geng-yu 饭 稻 羹 鱼 type, with fish (and ducks ) being bred in the wet rice field at the same time . Animal breeding was already relatively fully developed; pigs , dogs , cattle , sheep and chickens were being bred.

Other significant sites of the Daxi culture are the Chengtoushan site ( 城 头 山 ) in Li County ( 澧县 ) in Hunan , which has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China since 1996 (4-17), and the Sanyuangong site (Sānyuángōng yízhǐ 三元 宫 遗址) in Hunan and the Guanmiaoshan site (Guānmiàoshān yízhǐ 关 庙山 遗址) in Hubei.

The site of Daxi, located in the Yangtze River Valley, will be submerged in the water by the Three Gorges Dam .
