Why did Zhengzhou become the birthplace of Chinese civilization? What is the historical origin?

The Yellow River Basin is the earliest place where human civilization developed. Among the four major civilizations in the world, only the ancient Chinese civilization has been handed down, and the birthplace of Chinese civilization is in the Central Plains, so Zhengzhou, which is located in the Central Plains, has become a good place for people to find their roots and ask their ancestors. Since ancient times, people in China have regarded themselves as descendants of the dragon and descendants of the Chinese people. Therefore, in the minds of China people, the role of the Emperor Yanhuang is irreplaceable, and Zhengzhou, where the Emperor Yanhuang is located, has also become the birthplace of Chinese civilization.

Xinzheng city, the hometown of the Yellow Emperor. According to legend, 5,000 years ago, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the emperor, was born in Zhengzhou and established his capital there. Since then, the Chinese nation has been passed down. Zhengzhou used to be the capital of Xia and Shang Dynasties, which lasted for 554 years. Bohai was the most prosperous political, economic and cultural center of Shang Dynasty at that time, so Zhengzhou's ancient status was incomparable to other cities. Later, Yin merchants moved to the capital several times, but Zhengzhou also followed the consistent style of the capital and became the political, economic and cultural center of Henan Province.

Second, Zhengzhou enjoys a superior geographical position. Zhengzhou is located in the plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, where the continental plate is the most stable, so natural disasters rarely occur in this place. The drought of 1942 may be well known throughout Henan. In addition, natural phenomena such as earthquakes and typhoons cannot be found in Henan, so Zhengzhou, Henan Province is also called a more livable city.

Zhengzhou is an ancient city with profound historical background. Wang Wei, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Stay in Zhengzhou". Say goodbye to Zhou people and vote for Zheng people at dusk. Strangers in foreign countries are companions, and lonely guests are servants. ? . Li Shangyin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once lived in the Xiyang Building in Zhengzhou, leaving a rare Mo Bao of his own. There are always many twists and turns in a person's life. It is like trying to climb a very high tower, only to find that a higher floor is still ahead. I want to ask where Gu Hong is going. I don't know my life experience. ? Although these poems are not what they used to be, we can see that Zhengzhou, as an important thoroughfare, has an irreplaceable role in history, and it also shows Zhengzhou's position in the minds of literati.
