Abstract

This paper conducts comparative studies of the distribution of pre-history culture in eastern Qinghai. The result shows that Qinghai pre-history culture has expanded in this space gradually. The noteable expansions occurred twice and at the same time the pre-history culture expanded from east to west gradually along the Yellow River valley and the Huangshui valley. The distribution of eastern Qinghai pre-history culture positively related with temperature. Especially, it has a close relationship with the accumulative temperature of daily mean temperature above 10oC. The changes of pre-history culture and the climate are identical with each other. It has proved initially that the development and expansion of pre-history culture are positively correlated to the climate change. The change of climate is the root cause for this change. So the climate is the inducement of the Qinghai pre-history culture vicissitudes, and it exerts great influence on the distribution, spreading, expansion, enlargement and development of the civilization.
