Located in Jiahu village, 1.5 kilometers southwest of Beiwudu town, Wuyang county, Henan province, the well-preserved Jiahu Site covering an area of 55 thousand square meters is rich in cultural remains, which dates back to some 7,500 to 9,000 years ago.
贾湖遗址位于河南省舞阳县北舞渡镇西南1.5公里的贾湖村，保护区面积5.5万平方米，是一处规模较大、保存完整、文化积淀极为丰厚的新石器时代早期遗存，C14、释光测年结果显示其距今约9000―7500年。

Beside the earliest "liquor" in the world, the world's earliest and best-preserved musical instrument, namely bone flute, is another important discovery at the Jiahu Site, which changed the music history in the world and refuted the sayings that "Chinese flute comes from the Western countries" and "7-note scale comes from abroad".
贾湖遗址最重要的发现除世界上最早的“酒”外，还有世界上年代最早、保存最完整的乐器——骨笛，改写了世界音乐史，推翻了“中国笛子西来说”和“七声音阶外来说”。
As the earliest Neolithic cultural remains found in the Huaihe River basin, the Jiahu Site connects the Neolithic cultures of the middle reaches of the Yellow River and those of the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River, reflecting the colorful life of the ancient Chinese people living in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River some 8,000 to 9,000 years ago.
贾湖遗址是淮河流域迄今所知年代最早的新石器文化遗存，提供了连接黄河中游至淮河中下游之间新石器文化关系的一个连接点，再现了淮河上游八九千年前的辉煌。
Located in the west of Peiligang village, about 8 kilometers northwest of Xinzheng city, Henan province, the Peiligang Site is a major historical and cultural site protected at the national level in China. Dating back to some 8,000 years ago, the Peiligang Culture was named after the Peiligang Site, about 1,000 years earlier than the Yangshao Culture (dating back to 7,000 years ago).
裴李岗遗址，属全国重点文物保护单位，位于河南省郑州市新郑市西北约8公里的裴李岗村西，遗址年代距今约8000年，绝对年代早于仰韶文化1000多年。该遗址出土的器物有独具一格的文化面貌，被考古学界命名为“裴李岗文化”。

More than 400 cultural relics were discovered at the Peiligang Site, including stone tools, pottery wares, bone implements, etc., highlighted by stone sickles with sawteeth, stone spades with a blade at both ends, stone querns and rollers.
裴李岗遗址出土各种器物400余件，包括各种石器、陶器、骨器等，其中典型器物有锯齿石镰、两端有刃的条型石铲、石磨盘、石磨棒。
The discovery of the Peiligang Site not only filled the historical gap in the early Neolithic Age before the Yangshao Culture, but also provided physical evidence for further study of the Chinese civilization.
裴李岗遗址的发现填补了中国仰韶文化以前新石器时代早期的一段历史空白，给进一步研究中华文明历史提供了实物资料。（来源/大河网 编译/赵汉青 审校/李文竞 丁岚）
