When did the earliest civilization in China originate?

China civilization originated 9000 years ago.

As for the origin time of Chinese civilization, according to their standards, western scholars have always thought it was 3000 years ago. Although China scholars have objections, they have been unable to prove that this view is wrong. The latest research results of Jiahu culture and the definition of civilization standards can prove that Chinese civilization originated 9000 years ago.

Civilization is an ethical and scientific norm that allows different people to live in harmony in the same country. However, Chinese civilization began to sprout more than 8000 years ago. It had a primitive ancient country five or six thousand years ago and was fully mature three or four thousand years ago. The ancient civilization of China is as long as that of western countries.

Extended data:

Language and culture can be traced back for a limited time, generally not beyond the Neolithic Age. The construction of human evolutionary pedigree based on fossil similarity comparison also has great subjective judgment influence. Many morphological characteristics have nothing to do with species differences.

For example, in the morphological study of Homo erectus in Georgia published in the journal Science last year, the morphological differences of five skulls found in the same address and stratum are close to the differences between homo habilis, craftsmen, Homo erectus and early Homo sapiens. This seriously challenges the credibility of fossil morphological correlation. Now through the study of DNA, we can accurately judge the gap between people.

Different civilizations have different explanations for where human beings come from. The west has a tradition of creationism since ancient times. People in China have different ideas. Our tradition holds that everything, including human beings, is changeable.

"Tao can be Tao, but it is not constant, and the name can be named, but it is not constant." Yi is absolute. Interestingly, more than 2,000 years ago, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhuangzi said when expounding the origin of human beings: "Over time, bamboo gives birth to green, green life, life gives birth to horses, and horses give birth to people."

Because Zhuangzi used proper nouns in ancient Chu language to address animals, the translation is: salamanders evolved into shrews, shrews evolved into tree shrews (or squirrels), tree shrews evolved into macaques, and macaques evolved into humans-this understanding is basically the same as the research results of modern evolutionary biology.
