하북평원 북부지역은 중국의 수도 북경이 한가운데에 자리하고 있는 하북성 북부지역을 말한다. 太行山脈-燕山山脈-河北平原-渤海灣으로 둘러싸여 있는 이곳은 신석기시대부터 중원문화권과 북방문화권의 중간지대라는 장소적 특징을 가지고 있다. 이글은 신석기시대 말기 후반(雪山2期文化)-夏代후기(大□頭文化전기) 동안 이 지역에서 발생한 문화변동 양상과 특징을 검토하여 청동기문화의 형성과정과 장소적 특징이 지속된 배경을 살펴보는데에 목적이 있다. 검토 결과, 청동기문화는 설산2기문화 鎭江營類型과 大城山類型의 경계인 潮白河水系중류지역에서 시작되었고, 곧이어 주변지역으로 신속하게 확산되었다. 그러나 각 수계는 유입된 대타두문화와 주변지역으로부터 들어온 외적 요소들이 기존 토착전통과 결합하면서 통일성이 강화되기보다는 지역적 다양성이 커지는 쪽으로 변화하였다. 또한 기후악화와 짝을 이룬 북방문화대의 영향 아래에서 하북평원 북부지역은 요서문화권으로 재편입되었다. 초기에는 夏家店下層文化를 중심으로 산서 중·북부지역의 고고학적 문화와 내몽고 중남부 朱開溝文化및 산동 岳石文化의 영향을 받았다.
North region of Hebei Plain means the northern region of hebei province where Beijing, the capital of China, is located in the middle. This region, surrounded by Taihangshan Mountains, Yanshan Mountains, Heibei Plain and Bohai Bay, is characterized as the middle zone of Central Plain culture and Northern culture, since the early Neolithic Age. This research is aimed to study the formation process of early Bronze Age to answer how its regional characteristics could be remained by investigating the aspects of cultural change from the late Neolithic Age to the late Ha(夏) in this area. As a result, changes to the early Bronze Age culture began as Datuotou Culture arose in the whole area of Chaobai River Basin, Jixian. Henceforth, newly formed culture of early Bronze Age which had similar cultural property with Datuotou culture spreaded to the surrounding region such as. Juma River Basin and the downstream of Luan River Basin and finally came to complete Datuotou culture at the plain region. Also, at the same time, as the outside factors from the imported Datuotou culture and surrounding region combined with the native tradition at each water basin its culture changed to have bigger diversity rather than to have cultural unity. Cultural change began as self inner development and imported outside factors were combined. The aspect of inner development are found in the process of Datuotou type li(□). Presently there is no different view that this type began from the li which was excavated from the Xueshan no.66 storage pit. At the time, various li appeared at different time with various background in the surrounding area. There is a high possibility that it appeared through the process of self development in the lower part of yan(□). When compared to the li found in the surrounding region in the same period, it seems that it was not imported with completed shape. Another characteristic is that culture of the northern region of hebei province was combined with Northern culture by escaping from central district culture under the influence of Northern culture which was paired up with climate deterioration of that time. The characteristic of this region belonged to the category of the Hougang Ⅱculture during the late Neolithic Age. In the early Bronze Age, it was influenced mainly by Lower Xiajiadian culture and besides by archaeological culture of sanseo province mid-northern region and Zhukaigou culture and Yueshi culture.
