自然地理上，长江中游是指湖北宜昌以下至江西湖口这一区域。自湖北宜昌脱离三峡之后，长江水面落差减小，水流缓慢，江面宽阔[1]，这与峡江及长江下游地区的自然环境存在一定的差异。自新石器时代以来该地区便延续着十分鲜明的区域文化，并与中原地区产生了文化间的接触和影响。至青铜时代，长江中游地区的考古学文化既具有自身特征，同时与中原地区的文化联系更为密切，特别是商代，这种区域之间的互动关系表现得特别突出。对长江中游地区商时期考古学文化的研究受到了学者的广泛关注，

The evolutions of the archaeological cultures in the middle reach of Yangtze River during the Shang Dynasty experienced three stages： the first stage is the Phases I and II in the early Shang, during which the Shang Culture directly diffused into the middle reach of Yangtze River or was indirectly influencing the development of the regional cultures. The second stage is cultural integration stage, which is the Phase III of the early Shang through the Phase I of Yinxu Period, when the Shang Culture began to decline in the middle reach of Yangtze River and the aboriginal cultures began to prosper. The third stage is the Phase II of Yinxu Period through the early Western Zhou Dynasty, during which the regional cultures in the middle reach of Yangtze River were rapidly developing and created bronze civilizations with local features. The archaeological cultures in all of the regions have experienced an evolution process of rise and fall, the motivation of which would be related to the southward advancing and impacting of the Shang Culture and the active acculturation of local cultures or the interactions between the cultures.
