but ofthe differences among areas. That's to say, any cultural
phenomenon goes alongwith the characteristics of local regions and with
the product of a specific historicalprocess. Therefore, the research on

always bases on history and the differences among areas There are three
different kinds of understanding and explanation about thegeographical
area in the study of the Three Gorges Culture. Firstly, it refers to
theThree Gorges Area in a narrow sense——the region alongside the Three
Gorges （theQutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge） with a
watercourse of a 193 kmlong from Baidicheng （White Emperor City）,
Fengjie County, and ChongqingMunicipality in the west to Nanjinguan （
Nanjin Pass）, Yichang City, in the east ofHubei Province. The region was
