Adaptation strategies | Central plain culture | Haidai culture |
|---|---|---|

Transformation mode | Gradual social complexification (state formation) | Abrupt cultural replacement |
Human–Environment interaction | Sustained resilience through technological/Social stratification | Cultural continuity and integration |
