英文摘要	With the discovery of the Shimao (4.3-3.8 ka BP) city site, there has been a growing interest in the Longshan Culture (4.5-3.8 ka BP). The prosperous Longshan culture of northern Shaanxi has revised our traditional understanding of the border areas from that time. This paper explores regional differences through time within the Longshan culture, from northern Shaanxi, the Guanzhong Basin, and southern central Inner Mongolia. We examine potential climatic and environmental factors that may have influenced cultural development. Modern climatic characteristics show that hydrological conditions are best-suited for human occupation in the Guanzhong Basin, followed by those of northern Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia. Based on paleoclimate analyses, we identify asynchronous climate transitions from a relatively warm-humid middle Holocene to a cold-dry climate in the late Holocene. These changes occurred at 5.0 ka, 3.8 ka and 3.0-3.3 ka BP, starting in the north and ending in the south. Prehistoric humans from the Inner Mongolia region began to move southward around 4.5 ka BP, coincident with the northernmost climate transition. Frequent flooding in the Guanzhong Basin, perhaps due to a coincidence between Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and La Nina conditions, led to the migration or diffusion of many individuals away from the basin. The favorable climate in northern Shaanxi at the time contributed to its success and prosperity.
