• [1964, Sherman E. Lee, “Urban Civilization and the Indus Valley; Neolithic and Pre-Shang China”, in A History of Far Eastern Art‎^[1], New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 23, column 2:

  This area, known to the Chinese as Chung Yuan, or central plain, has always been the heartland of the “Middle Kingdom.”
  The type-site — that is, a site that sums up the characteristics of a culture — of the plains is Cheng Tzu Yai, and the culture revealed there is called Lung-Shan. One of the characteristics of this plains culture is the use of pounded earth for dwellings and walls; it is to be noted that the later Shang people also used pounded earth. Another is the use of a very thin, black pottery. It is perhaps the finest Neolithic pottery made, so thin it reminds one of “egg-shell” porcelain despite the fact that it is clay (fig. 8). The elegant shapes seem characteristic of the Lung-Shan culture.]

  The second culture, called Lung-shan, lay to the north-east and east in a broad coastal strip reaching from southern Manchuria through Hopei, eastern Honan and Shantung, and as far south as northern Chekiang.
