It is located after Tangwangchuan唐 汪 川 in the valley of the lower reaches of the Tao He River in Tangwang Township (E 103 ° 31 ′, N 34 ° 47 ′) of the Dongxiang Autonomous Okrug (东乡族 自治县) of the Linxia Hui Autonomous District named in the Chinese province of Gansu.
The culture spread across the Gansu and Qinghai areas . Their time corresponds roughly to that of the Xindian culture or a little earlier.
Their pottery is relatively coarse, the surface is polished, they are often dark red and painted with black paint. The painting with wavy lines is very typical. There are shuāngěrpén 双耳 盆 (two-handle bowl), dāněrbēi 单 耳 杯 (one-handle mug) and sìěrhuàn 四 耳 罐 (four-handle mug).
A typical representative of the Tangwang type is, for example, the wōwéntǒngzhuàngěrbēi 涡 纹 筒 状 双耳 杯 (cylindrical two-handled beakers painted with swirl patterns) excavated in Datong County, Qinghai Province .
