The Erlitou culture of China's central plain marks the decisive shift out of East Asia's Neolithic period, ushering in the beginning of Chinese civilization. Evolving from the Longshan culture, Erlitou emerged as the first state-level society in East Asia around 1900-1600 BC. This period saw an increase in bronze metallurgy and urbanization with palatial buildings, royal tombs, paved roads, and rammed earth foundations attesting to the complexity and importance of Erlitou sites. During the Erligang period, 1600-1250 BC, Erlitou decreased in importance and was ultimately abandoned.

Because of temporal and geographic overlap, the culture is often assumed to correlate to the Xia Dynasty. However, although Xia is an important element in Chinese historiography, there is to date no archeological evidence to corroborate the dynasty. The details concerning the Xia Dynasty, first recorded more than a millennium later during the Western Zhou period, are largely understood to be mythical; serving as a counterpoint to the subsequent Shang Dynasty and ultimately to justify the Chinese dynastic cycle. Continued archeological surveys of Erlitou sites are needed in order to form a more complete picture of China's first state.

中國中原地區的二裏頭文化標誌著東亞新石器時代的重要轉變，引領了中國文明的開端。盡管二裏頭在公元前3500年就有人居住，但直到公元前1900-1600年它才開始形成中國的第一個城邦級社會。 全盛期的二裏頭遺址約占地300公頃。壯麗的建築，皇家墓穴，青銅工坊，平整的道路以及泥土沖壓的房基都證明了這個中央據點的復雜性與重要性。在二裏崗時期（1600-1250 BC）， 這一據點逐漸衰退並最終被遺棄。

因為時間與地理位置上的重合，這個文化通常被假設與夏朝聯系在壹起；然而，這一假想並未被考古證據所證實。即便假想正確，關於夏朝（最早被記載於超過壹千年以後的西周時期）的詳細歷史仍舊具有很濃的神話色彩，這也是其後的商朝乃至中國的朝代循環能否被證實的爭論點。二裏頭遺址還需要通過更多的考古發掘來建立關於這個中國最早城邦的更完善圖景。
