Focusing on the Liangzhu Culture, this book delves into the settlement structures, social organization, and religious beliefs of ancient communities. It highlights the influence of the region's low-lying, humid environment on the development of man-made platforms, which led to densely populated residential areas and the emergence of water villages in southern China. By examining the interactions between humans and their environment, the work reveals the evolution of social classes and urban structures, providing crucial insights into the origins of Liangzhu Civilization and broader Chinese Civilization.
