Yangtze River Valley Culture and Yellow River Valley Culture! ! It's shorter

Water is the source of life. Water is closely related to the emergence of human beings and the development of social culture. The existence of four ancient civilizations in the world is inextricably linked with rivers. When it comes to the Chinese nation and culture, many people tend to think only of the Yellow River and ignore the Yangtze River, which is superficial and one-sided. It is true that the Yellow River is the cradle of our nation and culture, but it should be said that it is mainly the representative of China ancient culture and northern culture. That's only half of understanding China culture. The other half of China culture is the Yangtze River culture, which originated in ancient times and surpassed the Yellow River culture in the middle and late ancient times. More and more ancient human fossils in the Yangtze River basin also prove that the Yangtze River basin, like the Yellow River basin, is the cradle of the Chinese nation. The alpine snow water flowing from Gladandong Snow Mountain first goes south, then turns east in Hengduan Mountains and rolls all the way to the east. From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to Yichang, Tibetan culture, Naxi culture and Bashu culture are nurtured. At present, there are more than 300 known sites and stone tools unearthed in Yunnan in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The more important sites are Dadunzi site in Yuanmou, baiyang village site in Binchuan and Nujiang River Basin site. In Sichuan, the Lizhou site in Xichang is the most typical, and it has been designated as "Dadunzi-Lizhou Culture". The most noteworthy site is Sanxingdui site in Guanghan, Sichuan, which started in the late Neolithic period in the Central Plains and lasted until the end of Yin Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty. It can be seen from the unearthed cultural relics that the ancestors began to focus on agriculture, raising livestock and fishing; When pottery production reached a certain level, sericulture began to engage in textile. From here, it is not difficult to see that the culture of the Yangtze River basin has developed slowly and been handed down, and now people on both sides of the Yangtze River are also developing rapidly under the influence of this culture and traditional culture. & ltBR & gt History tells the story of the Yangtze River.
