Jiahu Site

The Jiahu Site is an ancient archaeological location in Henan Province, China, dating back around 9,000 years. It reveals early farming communities that cultivated rice and barley, and suggests they made some of the world's earliest musical instruments, like flutes carved from bird bones. The site provides valuable insights into early Chinese civilization, showing how communities organized themselves, developed agriculture, and created cultural artifacts. Its discoveries help us understand the origins of settled life, pastoral practices, and symbolic expression in ancient East Asia.
