The claim stating that Taosi Culture is Xia Culture is an academic stance concerning the attributes of Taosi Culture as well as the identification of Xia Culture.It appeared around 1983,and became supported by a number of scholars because of the fact that the age,geographic range,social feature and many other aspects of Taosi Culture coincided with those of the legendary"Xia Dynasty".With the exploration into Xia Culture going further,this claim gradually weakens,but still has its legacy so far in academia.The claim stating that Taosi Culture is Xia Culture appeared for certain reasons in that academic environment back then,and its disappearance in the course of archaeological research into Xia Culture is also the result of multiple factors.The review of the complete history of this claim is not only of important academic value,but also can be referenced by current research on Xia Culture.
