What are the characteristics of the culture of the Central Plains, the five characteristics of the culture of the Central Plains

Henan as the birthplace of Chinese civilization, although in ancient history has a very important position, but in the subsequent development of most failed to protect the history and culture. As the center of the Central Plains, Henan's status remains unchanged even after so many dynastic changes.

First, the roots

That is to say, the culture of the Central Plains is the origin and mother of the entire Chinese civilization. This is fully reflected in both the prehistoric civilization recorded by mankind and the creation of civilization since the beginning of written records. From the myths and legends of Pangu, Nvwa, the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, and Hetu and Luoshu, we can see that the Chinese civilization was born in the early 20th century, and that the Chinese civilization was born in the early 20th century.

Early archaeological cultures such as the Peiligang culture and the Yangshao culture took place in Henan. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, considered the roots of Chinese civilization, also began in Henan. As a symbol of the axial era of Eastern civilization, the thought of Confucianism, Taoism, Mozambique and the Law of the Zi Zi was also generated in Henan on the basis of the study and summary of the three generations of civilization.

It greatly influenced the national character and national cultural psychology of the Chinese people. The Huang Di's "Du Yu Xiong" and Li Si's county system established the basic system of feudal society in China for thousands of years; Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases", and Zhang Heng's armillary sphere have occupied a pivotal position in the history of China and even the history of the world.

Third: Inclusiveness

That is to say, the culture of the Central Plains is characterized by compatibility with all good things and unity. Through the economy, war, religion, population migration and other channels, the culture of the Central Plains absorbed the excellent components of the surrounding cultures, and realized the comprehensive integration and continuous sublimation of the material culture, institutional culture and ideological concepts. Archaeologists found that 200,000 years ago, the North and South cultures met in the Central Plains. Entering the Neolithic era, cultural exchanges were more frequent and cultural integration deepened.

The Neolithic culture of the Central Plains and neighboring regions have many **** the same point. Such as the central region of the Dawenkou culture is the East Barbarians group of the Haidai nationality and the central plains of the national interaction, the results of integration; Zhengzhou Dahe Village site unearthed in some of the rich characteristics of Shandong Dawenkou culture of pottery, indicating that the Central Plains culture at that time began to absorb the results of neighboring cultures, the melting of their own cultures.

Hu clothing, hu music, hu dance, hu food in the Han and Tang dynasties into the Central Plains, are integrated into the culture of the Central Plains. Religions in other parts of the world are basically exclusive, but Buddhism, as a foreign religion, was introduced to the Central Plains, but was accepted by the native Confucian and Taoist cultures, and became an important part of the Central Plains and Chinese culture.

Fourth: openness

That is to say, the culture of the Central Plains has a strong radiation and influence. Concentrated in: First, radiation around. Such as Lingnan culture, Fujian and Taiwan culture, as well as the Hakka culture, its core ideas are derived from the Central Plains of the River Luo culture. The Tang Dynasty's Henan thinker and writer Han Yu greatly influenced Chaoshan culture.

Secondly, it is a customization of the people. Some of the basic etiquette norms in the culture of the Central Plains were often compiled by the rulers into a unified model, which was promoted to every aspect of social and family education, thus realizing the social effect of "ten thousand miles of the same wind". Thirdly, it has spread far and wide. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the culture of the Central Plains has spread widely from the east to the west, mainly through land transportation, and has not only influenced the ancient civilizations of Korea and Japan, but also opened up the Silk Road, which has lasted for thousands of years.

Ban Chao's mission to the Western Regions, Xuanzang's journey to the West, and Jianzhen's journey to Fusang have all written a magnificent picture of the spread of Chinese civilization. From the Northern Song Dynasty onwards, the culture of the Central Plains by virtue of the most developed maritime technology, spread far and wide in South Asia, Africa, also opened up a new era of the spread of the world's civilization by sea.

Fifth: Fundamental

That is to say, the culture of the Central Plains is in the position of the main body and backbone of the Chinese cultural system. In the continuous fusion and exchange with other cultures, the Central Plains culture has been expanding its own extension, and thus gave birth to the formation of Chinese culture. The core ideas of the Central Plains culture, such as "Datong" and "Harmony", have become the core ideas of Chinese culture; the core values of the Central Plains culture, such as propriety, justice, honesty and integrity, love, loyalty and faith, have become the core values of the Chinese nation.

The major folk activities of the Central Plains culture, such as weddings and funerals, and festivals of the year, have all become the folk activities of the Chinese nation. As a famous archaeologist put it: the cultural zones outside the Central Plains were all adjacent to or surrounding the Central Plains culture, much like a giant flower. These peripheral cultural areas are the petals of the flower, while the Central Plains culture is the center of the flower. It is the continuous blossoming of the heart of the flower that forms the splendid flower of civilization that is Chinese culture.

Conclusion Perhaps for most of the 80, 90 later said traditional culture is a very boring part, but for some mysterious things full of enthusiasm to explore, the Central Plains may also be a good mystery zone, where the historical heritage is not ordinary.
