History of the Central Plains Center Theory

1. What is the history of the development of the Central Plains culture

The Central Plains culture is profound and has a long history.

From the surface, she is a regional culture, from the deep, she is not a general regional culture, but the root and backbone of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, occupies a prominent position in the history of the development of Chinese culture. Specifically, she contains the following seventeen aspects of the main content.

1, prehistoric culture The prehistoric culture of the Central Plains, a long time, rich in content, a wide range of areas. 8000 years ago or so Pei Ligang culture, Pei Ligang site in Xinzheng unearthed hundreds of pieces of polished stoneware and pottery, in the Maoyang Jahu site, the Neolithic era, unearthed 53 house sites, kiln caves, 370, pottery kiln, and 13, as well as ash pits, graves, urns, etc., the unearthed artifacts nearly 5000 pieces, especially the unearthed world's earliest, most complete preservation of the bone flute, rewriting the world's music history; unearthed relics of brewing, was copied by the American formula, produced 9000 years ago, the ancient wine, caused a world sensation.

7000 years ago, the Yangshao culture, unearthed a large number of colored pottery and polished stoneware, fully reflecting the Neolithic era of our forefathers' production and living conditions. 5000 years ago, the Longshan culture period, Henan also found a considerable wealth of pottery animal reliefs and tripods, pots, jars, jugs, and other cultural relics.

From this, we can see that prehistoric culture was found in Henan not only in one place, not only a few, several places of a few pieces of historical remains, but continuous, large-scale historical remains. These are sufficient to show that Henan is in the leading position in the whole prehistoric civilization period, and also sufficient to show that the Central Plains is one of the earliest places where the Chinese civilization started.

2. Dragon Culture The dragon is a symbol of wisdom, bravery, good luck and honor. Henan is the home of the dragon.

Fuxi, known as the originator of humanities, created the dragon totem in the area of Huaiyang, Zhoukou, and realized the first integration of many tribes in the ancient times; Huangdi, known as the originator of humanities, unified the tribes in the Yellow River Basin, and then used the dragon as a symbol of new tribes in the area of Xinzheng, in order to unite the thoughts and spirits of the tribes. After the unification of the tribes in the Yellow River basin, in order to unite the tribes' ideology and spirit, the dragon was used as the totem of the new tribes in the area of modern Xinzheng, and today's Chinese people are called the "children of the Yellow Emperor" and the "descendants of the dragon", which is the reason for this. From the excavation of cultural relics, our province found the dragon cultural relics not only long history, and the most authentic.

Puyang mussel dragon 6400 years ago, is China's earliest dragon image, known as "China's first dragon" by the archaeological community; in "the first capital of China" Yanshi Erlitou site found in large turquoise dragon-shaped ware, at least 3700 years ago, was named by scholars as "China's dragon". Scholars named "Chinese dragon", and so on. These dragon cultural remains from the summer, Shang, Zhou to Han and Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties, are the source of the dragon totem of the Chinese nation, in the form of a variety of dragon images can be said to be the ancestors of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Folklore in the Central Plains and around the country, there are also many related to the dragon, such as every day of celebration dance dragon lanterns, February 2 of the lunar calendar to sacrifice the Dragon King, eat dragon beard noodles, Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race and so on. In addition to the spread of these cultures in the Chinese land inheritance, but also by the overseas Chinese brought to the world, in the world's countries in the Chinese residential areas or Chinatown, the most and the most striking ornaments is the dragon.

The image of the dragon, which was created and perfected in the Central Plains, has now become the symbol of the Chinese nation, the spiritual core of Chinese civilization, the bond of unity of the Chinese nation, and the spiritual pillar of the ****tong. 3, political culture Historically, the Central Plains has long been a stage for political contests, regime changes, and the evolution of the political system, and has witnessed uncountable major political events and activities, accumulating a great deal of political wisdom and experience, and forming a very rich political culture.

Huangdi is recognized as the ancestor who created the initial regime and established the prototype of state governance. From the Chancellor system of Yao, Shun, and Yu to the hereditary system of Xia, Shang, and Zhou, the transformation from tribal alliance to slave state was completed.

After that, political behaviors such as strife, interactions and alliances between states continued to drive the development of the polity, opening the way to a more complete feudal system. For more than 3,000 years from the Xia Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Henan has been the center of China's politics, economy and culture, with more than 200 emperors and kings building or moving their capitals here, forming the peak of political civilization and splendor for several times.

Among the eight ancient capitals of China, Henan has Kaifeng, Luoyang, Anyang and Zhengzhou. Since ancient times, China has been "fighting for the deer in the Central Plains", "the tripod in the Central Plains", "whoever gets the Central Plains gets the whole world" is the result of this.

4, sage culture in the world's four major ancient civilizations, a variety of cultural backgrounds are not the same, worship is not the same, India venerate animals, Greece and Egypt venerate God, China is very revered sage. As an important birthplace of Chinese culture in the Central Plains, emerged many cultural sages, and great fame.

For example, Jiang Taigong, the sage of strategy, Laozi, the sage of Taoism, Mozi, Fan Li, the sage of commerce, Zhang Zhongjing, the sage of medicine, Zhang Heng, the sage of science, Xu Shen, the sage of poetry, Du Fu, the sage of painting, Wu Daozi, the sage of the law, Zhu Jaipai, etc., who not only revered for their greatness of personality, but also created a large number of classic works with their own wealth of knowledge and profound thinking, which have become monumental in the history of the development of Chinese culture.

Mozi put forward the idea of "love one another, and benefit one another", Zhuang Zi put forward the "heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me", Han Fei Zi put forward the "law" as the center, "law, art, and technology", and the "law, art, and technology". Han Fei Zi put forward the "law" as the center, "law, technology, potential" three in one of the ruling ideology, have been the importance of successive rulers, but also in the general public have a great impact. 5, ideology and culture The ideology and culture of the Central Plains is the core of the ideology and culture of the Chinese nation, but also a hundred ideas.

Confucius is the founding figure of Confucianism, although born in Shandong, but the ancestral home is Henan, and Confucius lectures, lobbying the main activities of the region in the Central Plains. Luo Yang people Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi Song dynasty science, and Confucianism to a new ideological peak, since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty dominant mainstream ideology.

Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, was a native of Luyi, Henan Province, where he lived for a long time and was active, and where the Tao Te Ching was written. Han Fei Zi, the main representative of Legalism, was also a native of Henan.

Overall, the ideology and culture of the Central Plains conveys a philosophy of life that is robust, self-improvement, mediocrity, and harmony, and not only implies the "new day" of change and aggressiveness.

2. The customs and history of the Central Plains

The Central Plains is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, is one of the birthplaces of China's ancient civilization, as late as 500,000 years ago, there are human beings living and reproducing here. Seven or eight thousand years ago, during the Pei Li Gang culture period, agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts such as pottery making were produced here; in the middle and late Longshan culture more than 4,000 years ago, the Central Plains entered the era of stone and copper tools, and the sprouting of private ownership and class, which in turn led to the emergence of the first slave state in China's history, the Xia Dynasty. Later, the capitals of the Shang Dynasty, Xi Bo, and Yin, were all located in Henan. The oracle bone inscriptions found in the Yin Ruins in Anyang are the earliest writing in the world and the earliest historical documents in the world. By the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, many famous statesmen and philosophers emerged in the political and intellectual and cultural fields. After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Sanchuan, Nanyang, Yingchuan, Hanoi, Dongxian, and Chenxian counties were set up in the territory of present-day Henan. Later, during the two Han dynasties, the economy and culture of Henan remained at the forefront of the country. The Eastern Han Dynasty established its capital at Luoyang, and Henan became the political, economic and cultural center of the country. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were formed, and Henan was the site of four battles. During the Three Kingdoms and the two Jin dynasties and the North and South dynasties, there were many years of war, and agricultural and handicraft production was seriously damaged. It was only after the re-establishment of a unified national regime, the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of the 7th century, that the Central Plains got rid of the situation of prolonged war.

From the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Henan's economy and culture reached its heyday. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the eastern capital was established in Luoyang, and the Grand Canal, which communicated north and south, was excavated with Luoyang as the center, and was navigable until the Northern Song Dynasty, which promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. With the Tang Dynasty, Henan was still a place of talent. Because of the importance of Henan's position and its relatively developed economy, the five dynasties built their capitals and established their states in the Henan area. However, in the later period, wars continued north of the Yangtze River, and the people of the Central Plains suffered greatly. It was only after Zhao Kuangyin rebuilt a unified national regime, the Northern Song Dynasty, that the people of the Central Plains were able to live in peace again. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was Kaifeng, and Henan once again became the political, economic and cultural center of the country. At that time, the population of Kaifeng reached more than one million, the first big city in the country, the commercial trade volume accounted for half of the country, in all aspects are extremely prosperous for a while, can be said to be the golden age of the history of Henan in the Middle Ages. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it was a period of decline in the social and historical development of Henan. On behalf of the Song Dynasty and the rise of the Yuan Dynasty, the implementation of the provincial system, was inherited by the Ming and Qing dynasties, the boundaries of Henan is generally similar to today's Henan Province. During this period, Henan's economy and culture lagged further and further behind those of Jiangnan and some other northern provinces.

Into the modern era, with the gradual degeneration of China into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, Henan's social contradictions are also increasingly intensified. 1850s and 1960s, the fire of the peasants' revolt all over the north and south of the Yangtze River, convergence of the powerful Twisting Rebellion, coupled with the Taiping Army many times in and out of Henan, forming a large-scale peasant anti-feudal ***, Henan has become a central area of the Yellow River basin peasant revolts. Henan became a center of peasant revolts in the Huanghuai Valley. After the failure of the uprising, under the joint oppression and exploitation of feudalism and imperialism, Henan's agriculture declined more and more, and its social economy went downhill. At that time, the cultural and intellectual circles in Henan were still basically under the rule of Cheng-Zhu rationalism. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the new economy of national capitalism broke through the ground, but it was very young and weak. At this time, both national and class conflicts in Henan rapidly intensified, and various forms of peasant anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggles were launched. At the same time, some bourgeois elements or enlightened gentry converted to the bourgeoisie also ascended to the political arena, and successively launched the Campaign for the Suppression of U.S. Goods in Henan towns and cities, the Campaign for the Reclaiming of the Right to Profit, which centered on the recovery of the Jiaozuo Coal Mines and the opposition to the imperialist plundering of Henan's railroad construction rights, and demanded the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The bourgeois democratic revolutionaries, on the other hand, took advantage of the rising revolutionary situation to actively carry out the propaganda and organization of the bourgeois national democratic revolution. They formed the Henan branch of the League, a bourgeois revolutionary political party, and contacted the local political parties and peasant armies to try to carry out armed uprisings. Encouraged by the victory of the Wuchang Uprising, the Henan revolutionaries immediately instigated a new army in Kaifeng, and organized armed uprisings in the prefectures and counties, but they were unsuccessful, and Henan became one of the few provinces that had not gained "independence".

3. Origin of the Central Plains

Broadly speaking, the Central Plains are the six ancient capitals of the Central Plains (Luoyang, Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Anyang, Zhengzhou, Nanyang) as the center of the vast plains along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the narrowly defined Central Plains refers to the middle of heaven and earth, the Middle Kingdom, Henan.

The term "Central Plains" has no special meaning in the past by the meaning of the wilderness, shifted to exclusively refer to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in the Henan region. According to historical data, from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, through the development of the two Han periods, to the Six Dynasties period, during such a period of development. The word Zhongyuan, at the beginning, sometimes referred to the wilderness, sometimes to the central plains. And in the later period, it already referred to the Henan area exclusively. The word "Central Plains" then became a proprietary regional term.

In the earliest days, the word "Central Plains" meant the wilderness. The word "Zhongyuan" here means "original center". Poetry - Xiao Ya - Xiaowan" said: "in the middle of the plain there are peas and beans, the people pick." It describes the people picking beans in the wilderness.

By the Spring and Autumn period. According to the "Guoyu - Yue language on" recorded, Yue Wang Goujian in the siege of Huiji lifted, to the people to thank the crime, said: "I do not know its power is not enough, and with the great powers to collusion, to expose the people's bones in the Central Plains, which is the crime of the oligarchs also. I ask for more." It shows that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the word Zhongyuan still had the meaning of wilderness. Zuo Zhuan - 23rd year of Duke Xi recorded that Jin's son Chong Er was exiled to Chu, and was treated generously by King Cheng of Chu. When asked how to repay Chu, Chong Er replied, "If by the spirit of the king, I can oppose Jin, Jin and Chu will rule the army, and when they meet in the middle of the plains, they will open up the king's three sheds. If he is not ordered to do so, his left side will hold a whip and repel, and his right side will belong to a weapon case, in order to circumambulate with the king." Here the Central Plains has the meaning of the region within. It shows that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the word "Zhongyuan" began to have the meaning of the Central Plains. According to the "Guoyu-Jin Yuzi III", on the question of whether or not the ruler of Jin should be adopted, some people advocated to kill him, but Gongsun Zhi said, "No, you must not. Shame on the great state in the Central Plains, and kill its ruler to emphasize, the son thought of avenging his father, the minister thought of avenging the collateral of the ruler. Even though the small Qin state, the world who is not suffering?" The Middle Kingdom here has the meaning of the vassal states in the Middle Kingdom. In 482 A.D., after King Fu-chai of Wu and Jin, Lu and Zhou met in the Yellow Pond, the King of Wu achieved the status of the hegemony of the vassal states, and the King of Wu ordered the "king's grandson Gou to report to Zhou", which included a sentence that said, "In the past, the people of Chu were unethical, and did not undertake the affairs of the king ****. To far away from my one or two brothers of the country. My predecessor King Helu not rent not bear, was armor with sword, quite beryllium sticking to the dor, with Chu Zhao Wang poison chase in the middle of the plains of the Park Ju. The sky sheds its heart, Chu division defeated, the king went to his country, so to Ying". Tracing the deeds of the ancestors mentioned in the Central Plains, referring to today's Henan Province.

By the Han Dynasty, the term "Central Plains" more often refers to the Henan region. Han Jingdi period of the seven states of the rebellion, the main father Yan evaluation: "but can not West hustle size of the land and the body for the bird in the Central Plains," because "the first emperor's virtue is not declined and the people of the people of the land, so the vassals do not help outside the country. ("History of the Pingjin Marquis Lord Father Legend") The Central Plains here refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Xu Le, in his petition to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, once mentioned the Central Plains in his explanation of "disintegration", "What is disintegration? The soldiers of Wu, Chu, Qi, and Zhao were the same. Seven countries conspire for the great rebellion, the number are called the king of ten thousand, with hundreds of thousands of armor, the power is enough to tighten its territory, the money is enough to persuade its people, but can't west to hustle the size of the land, but the body for the bird in the Central Plains, this is why? It is not that the power is lighter than a man and the army is weaker than Chen Shuxu. When it is the time of the former emperor's virtue has not declined, and the people of the land of peace and custom, so the vassals do not go outside the help. This is called disintegration. Therefore, it is said that the trouble of the world is not in disintegration." ("Han Shu ﹒ Xu Le biography") here is to say that the kings of Wu and Chu were captured in the Central Plains. However, after the Han Dynasty, the word "Central Plains" refers to the wilderness of those who still exist in the history books, such as Sima Xiangru mission to the Southwest Barbarians said: in order to pass the land in the descendants, the name of the future generations, "is the wise man and gentleman, the liver and brain coated in the Central Plains, the cream and liquid moistened with weeds and do not hesitate. ("The Records of the Grand Historian")

During the Jin Dynasty, especially during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains began to be widely accepted as a geographic concept. According to incomplete statistics, there are 55 volumes in the Book of Jin involving the word "Central Plains", which appeared 92 times, with the highest frequency in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and most of them are related to the ambition of Jin's rulers and ministers to restore the Central Plains. Later, the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, which lived in the south of the Yangtze River, adopted the geographical concept of the Central Plains from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

4. The Central Plains of Chinese history refers to those places

Ancient people often use "China", "Zhongzhou" as a synonym for the Central Plains.

It is generally believed that the ancient Central Plains refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the area where the Chinese tribes were concentrated, centered on the ancient Yuzhou. With the great integration of the Huaxia nation, and the expansion of Huaxia culture or Zhou culture and some diffusion.

Inhabiting the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the more culturally advanced Huaxia people regarded themselves as civilized and called themselves China to distinguish themselves from the four barbarians. Some of the neighboring areas that were still barbaric during the Xia and Shang dynasties were also included in the Central Plains cultural area with the spread of the Huaxia culture and the feudalization of the Chengkang era.

In fact, the Central Plains in the two-week period mainly included parts of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other provinces, in addition to present-day Henan Province. In a narrow sense, it refers to the area around Henan.

During the pre-Qin period, there was already the saying that Luo Yi (present-day Luoyang) and Tao (present-day Dingtao County, Shandong) were the center of the world; with the migration of the Huaxia people to the surrounding area, their scope of activities expanded, and the ancient state of Yuzhou was regarded as the center of the world.

Broadly speaking, it refers to a large area along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, or the Yellow River basin. The "Central Plains" of the "Central Plains" refers to the Yellow River basin.

5. Another view of the Central Plains history and culture of the article 600 words

Xia and Shang dynasties had built the capital in the Central Plains Shangqiu, Anyang, Zhengzhou, etc. Since the Han Dynasty, Luoyang, Nanyang, Kaifeng became the place where the princes and lords built their capitals. Broadly speaking, the Central Plains is the center of the six ancient capitals of the Central Plains (Luoyang, Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Anyang, Zhengzhou, Nanyang), radiating the vast plains along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and narrowly speaking, the Central Plains refers to the middle of heaven and earth, and the middle of the state of Henan.

It refers to the vast area extending to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River with Henan as the core, which is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and was regarded as the center of the world by the ancient Chinese nation. Ancient people often used the terms "China", "Middle Kingdom" and "Middle Kingdom" as synonyms for the Central Plains. It is generally believed that the Central Plains, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, was the birthplace of the ancient Huaxia people, i.e. today's Henan Province. The Central Plains region spread with the great integration of the Huaxia people and the expansion of the Central Plains civilization. The more culturally advanced Huaxia people called themselves China to distinguish themselves from the four barbarians. Some of the surrounding areas of Henan Province during the Xia and Shang dynasties were also included in the Central Plains Cultural Region as the culture of the Central Plains spread. The Central Plains were "from Shangdang in Hezhou in the north, Hongnong in Sizhou in the west, Huainan in Yangzhou in the east, and Xincai and Anfeng in the center." This range is mainly the present Henan, but also includes the southwestern part of Shanxi, the western part of Jiangsu and a few places in the northwestern part of Anhui.

They were influenced by the diverse cultures of Qin and Long, Yan and Zhao, Jin and Zhao, Qilu, Jing and Chu, and Wu and Yue. "See how vast the "ancient Central Plains" region.

8. Why Henan is the center of the Central Plains

The definition of the Central Plains is very ambiguous, the narrow definition of the Central Plains refers to the area of present-day Henan Province; the broader Central Plains or refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, or refers to the whole of the Yellow River basin.

The Central Plain is "from Shangdang in Hezhou in the north, Hongnong in Sizhou in the west, Huainan in Yangzhou in the east, and Xincai and Anfeng in the middle." This range was mainly the present Henan, but also included the southwestern part of Shanxi, the western part of Jiangsu and a few places in the northwestern part of Anhui.
