摘　　要：Meiyang River Valley lies adjacent to Qixing River Valley,both of which are tributaries of Wei(氵韦) River on its north bank and in loess plateau topography.Following the regional survey to Qixing River Valley in 2002,Zhouyuan Archaeological Team conducted archaeological survey to Meiyang River Valley in 2005.This survey revealed 26 ancient remains covering the time span from Yangshao Age to the Eastern Zhou Period;compared to Qixing River Valley,where the cultural remains were densely distributed and large-sized settlement sites widely existed,Meiyang River Valley generally had only small-sized and sparsely scattered cultural remains.The in-depth analyses showed that the valleys had similar modern topographical features,but in ancient times,Meiyang River Valley,although larger than Qixing River Valley,was occupied largely by swamps and wetlands.Meanwhile,the course of the upper reach of Meiyang River was not stable,the flood going through which would make massive disaster to the whole river basin.Therefore,the ancient people could not build permanent and large-sized settlements,which means this area was not inhabitable for heavy population,and only suitable for small settlements built on higher places.Until the Qin,Han Dynasties and later times,the river course became stable because of constant downcutting,and Meiyang River Valley began to be densely populated.The contrast between the ancient settlement distribution patterns of Qixing and Meiyang River Valleys is a typical evidence for the researches on the man-land relationship in the ancient times.Meiyang River Valley lies adjacent to Qixing River Valley, both of which are tributaries of Wei [氵韦] River on its north bank and in loess plateau topography.
