The Baijia culture occupied a large area, in the Shaanxi-Gansu region.[1]
It is thought that painted pottery then reached the Yangshao culture, with its Lingkou and Banpo type of potteries, which developed from 5000 to 4200 BCE.[1]
The Baijia culture and Dadiwan culture are very similar and located near each other.[2]
