The Qijia culture was a Neolithic culture that grew along the Yellow River from the 3rd millennium until the 2nd millennium BC, one of the earliest culture in ancient China. Such earthenware vessels were designed primarily for use over display, and this early need for basic pottery has remained relevant, especially in a culture such as Qijia, which was transitioning from mobile to sedentary existence. The Qijia culture pottery is rare compared to the other Chinese Neolithic ceramic.
