When did the 5,000-year history of China begin?

It dates back to the Yanhuang period, because it was estimated that the Yanhuang period was around 3000 BC, so the Chinese civilization was 5000 years.

However, this is really just a guess based on some historical books, and there is no exact archaeological evidence.

The recorded history of Shang Dynasty's entry into China with conclusive archaeological evidence is about 1700 BC, which means that the recognized history of China civilization is about 3700 years.
