Culture Hongshan or Hung-shan (approx. 4700 - 2900 BC) was a civilization prehistoric northeast of China.
The culture owes its name to Hongshanhou, a site of the Hongshan , Chifeng, which was discovered by Japanese archaeologist Torii Ryūzō in 1908, and extensively excavated in 1935 by Kōsaku Hamada and Mizuno Seiichi.
It appears that it had a elite three levels whose members were honored through complexes burials. Pottery painted that has been found there, links it to the Yangshao culture, while its beautiful jade objects link it to other cultures that worked the same stone on the East Coast, such as the Liangzhu culture
