Is Chinese civilization three thousand years old or five thousand years old?

It is generally believed that China civilization has a history of 5,000 years.

In fact, Chinese civilization, that is, Chinese civilization, originated from Dadiwan culture, Peiligang culture, Longshan culture and Yangshao culture, among which Dadiwan culture and Peiligang culture were established in the Yellow River basin as early as 8,000 years ago.
