Qujialing Site is located in Qujialing Village, 30 kilometers southwest of Jingshan County in Hubei Province.

Discovered in 1954, Qujialing Site comprises village ruins from the Neolithic Age. Qujialing Culture, which dates back 4,000 years, was named after the site due to its typical features.

The most distinct cultural relics unearthed at the Qujialing Site were a pottery wheel used for spinning, painted black pottery and eggshell-shaped painted pottery. Pieces of pottery, such as the cauldron, dou (a bowl with high stem and spread foot) and bowl were all fashioned in a special style. Such examples of the culture are distributed throughout a large area that spreads from the Jianghan Plain in Hubei Province to the mountainous region in Shanxi Province to southern Henan Province, which borders with Hubei Province. A large number of tools and japonica rice chaffs also unearthed at the site indicate that the Qujialing people relied mainly on agricultural production, supplemented by raising livestock, fishing, spinning and weaving. At the time, the agriculture and handicraft industry became separate divisions of labor, and ceramics were highly developed with great varieties and fine patterns. The advancement of the agricultural industry and the appearance of ancient pottery that symbolized an admiration for paternity indicate that the society had developed into a patrilineal society.
