History of Shoushan Stone Culture – Neolithic Period
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Fuzhou’s cultural roots can be traced back over 6000 years to the Neolithic period. It evolved from a “barbarian” land to a prominent political, economic, and cultural center over 2000 years. The region witnessed the development of various prehistoric cultures like the Keqiutou, Tanshishan, and Huangguashan cultures. These cultures left behind archaeological sites with stone tools, pottery, and other artifacts, reflecting the lives of ancient Fuzhou inhabitants and the significant influences on other regions. The Fucun site in Fuzhou, as it featured the use of stone tools made from Shoushan stone, provided valuable insights into the Neolithic Age. These tools played a crucial role in the daily lives and production activities of the ancient Fuzhou inhabitants, brought the advancement of labor tools and productivity during that era and potentially influenced the later art and culture of the region.
