Yuncheng City has a long history and is one of the earliest birthplaces of the Chinese nation. About 1.8 million years ago, there were human activities here. It was the capital of Shun (舜) and Yu (禹) as well as the capital of Xia (夏), the first dynasty of Chinese slavery. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it belonged to the state of Jin, and Duke Xian of Jin set his capital at Jiang (present-day Jiang County) in 669 BC. After Han, Zhao and Wei divided Jin, Yuncheng belonged to Wei, which had its capital at Anyi (around Yuwangcheng in Xia County today). After the unification of China by Qin Shihuang, 36 counties were established, and Yuncheng belonged to Hedong County, with Anyi as its seat. In the following 2,000 years, there were frequent establishments, but the region was always customarily referred to as "Hedong". In 1954, Yuncheng and Linfen were merged into the Jinnan prefecture, and in 1970, the Jinnan prefecture was abolished and Yuncheng prefecture was re-established. In June 2000, approved by the State Council, Yuncheng prefecture was abolished and Yuncheng city was established.

Historically, the beautiful legends related to agriculture, such as "Rayon Raising Silkworms", "Hou Ji Ji", and "Shun Plowing the Historic Mountains", all took place here. Four or five thousand years ago, the ancestors of Hedong mastered the technology of planting sorghum, which was the first cultivation of sorghum in China. More than three thousand years ago, there have been working people in the Yellow River, Fen River Valley established a stronghold of agriculture. At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, the famous city of Jiangzhou (present-day Xin Jiang) emerged here in the Fen River Valley because of its developed agriculture and population gathering. After the establishment of New China, Yuncheng has been the wheat and cotton base of Shanxi Province and even the whole country. 11 out of 13 counties (cities and districts) have been listed as the base counties of commodity grain in Shanxi Province, six of which have been identified as the base counties of commodity grain in the whole country, and two of them have been listed as the base counties of commodity cotton in the whole country, which was once called the "Ukraine of Shanxi". In recent years, adhere to scientific and technological production, the formation of a full-scale fruit, livestock, vegetables, grain, cotton, five leading industries, food and economic ratio from the past 8:2 adjusted to 5:5. apple alone amounted to more than 3 million acres, becoming one of the country's high-quality fruit base. Leading enterprises developed to 232, 32 of the initial scale, driving the city's 220,000 farmers engaged in industrialized management.

Editing the ten root cultures of Huaxia - Aurora Ape

People know that man evolved from apes. But where did the originators of man and ape ****same*** originate from? On this issue, the world of archaeology, some say Europe, some say Africa, can be said to be different opinions, no one can agree. However, the 1990s in Yuncheng City, Quanqu County, found in the "dawn ape fossil" but proved that Yuncheng, is the real home of mankind.

The Aurora apes are the oldest hominids ever discovered. Before the discovery of the Aurora fossil, due to the human fossils continue to be unearthed, the cradle of mankind said that the swing in the continents. 1856 and 1907, respectively, in Germany, the discovery of the Neanderthal man and the Heidelberg man, the cradle of mankind in Europe said that the popularity of the world. In the 1960s, archaeologists in Africa found a large number of early fossils of higher primates represented by the Egyptian Fayoum people, Africa again prevailed. 1994 to 1997, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of scientific researchers in the Yuncheng City, Qunqu County, found a large number of fossilized teeth, jaws and other ancient organisms with the characteristics of the higher primates. Chinese scientists and U.S. scientists teamed up on these fossils after careful examination and research, these fossils named the "century dawn ape" fossils, and confirmed that these fossils generated in 40 million years ago. At that time, the climate here was temperate, with lakes interspersed with mountains and water, high forests and trees, which was very suitable for the survival and reproduction of ancient organisms. Subsequently, the scientists of the two countries jointly published a research paper in the authoritative British scientific journal - "Nature" published on March 16, 2000, that the "century dawn ape" is the earliest discovered on the earth so far, including human beings, the ancestors of higher primates. The "Century Dawn Ape" is the earliest ancestor of higher primates, including humans, ever discovered on Earth, and lived in the Middle Eocene period, between 45 and 40 million years ago. In this way, China is likely to be the birthplace of higher primates, including humans, and Yuanqu became the earliest human birthplace. In this regard, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the famous archaeologist Mr. Jia Lanpo once highly evaluated that: the discovery of the ancestor of higher primates "is another extremely important discovery in Chinese archaeology and biology in the 20th century", and its significance "can be compared with the discovery of the Beijing ape man in Zhoukoudian! ". It not only shows that the Aurora is a member of a very primitive primate family, but also helps to solve a long-debated problem, that is, in the primate family, where the lineage of the apes originated from. April 11, 2000, People's Daily reported on the "Century of the Aurora" and its research results under the title of "The Origin of the Ancestors of Human Beings in China". On April 11, 2000, the People's Daily reported on the "Century Dawn Ape" and its research results under the title "Humans Originated in Africa", pointing out that: "Experts believe that the discovery of the 'Century Dawn Ape' in Qiqu, Shanxi Province, has overthrown the thesis that humans originated in Africa, and at the same time has pushed forward the appearance of apes by 10 million years. million years."

"The century dawn ape" has put a mysterious color on the ancient cultural territory of Yuncheng Yuanqu, the place where it was discovered, and attracted the attention of China and even the whole world. At present, Yuanqu County has invested 120 million yuan to create a world-class brand of "human distant ancestor garden" project has broken ground. It will rely on the Yellow River Xiaolangdi reservoir area, Alexandria National Forest Park and other natural landscapes, the formation of a both lofty mountains, craggy rocky cliffs, but also lakes and mountains, caves, forests and waterfalls, set of foreign cultural exchanges, tourism, recreation and entertainment as one of the integrated park, so that people from far away to fully appreciate the long and deep culture of the Yellow River. After the park is completed and put into use, Yuanqu County also want to declare the world cultural heritage, so that it becomes the world's people **** with the wealth.

Edit this section of the ten roots of Chinese culture - fire

The use of fire, known as an epoch-making initiative, greatly accelerated the pace of human evolution. The use of fire by human beings began 1.83 million years ago in Richeng County, Yuncheng City, with the Xihoudou people.

Primitive society, the Yellow River bend in the ancient Hedong area (now Yuncheng City and some counties and cities in Linfen City), the climate is temperate, the water and grass is beautiful, the trees are high and the forests are dense, and the animals are full of swarms. At that time, our ancestors did not know how to use fire, and lived a life of drinking blood here. One day, an accidental lightning fire ignited a large area of the forest, and herds of animals fled in all directions, some perishing in the fire, and some fleeing to faraway places. After the fire, the surviving ancestors lost their food source and their survival was seriously threatened. They had no choice but to search for burnt animal flesh and plant fruits in the ashes to wrap their stomachs. However, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the barbecued food was very different from what they used to eat, not only was it tasty, but it was also easy to chew. So they began to pay attention to the preservation of fire. Later, the forefathers also observed from long-term practice that fire, though terrible, could cook food and also illuminate and drive away the cold, so they consciously collected fire and tried to use fire and eat cooked food. This played a vital role in the development of the human physique and brain.

It was from the gifts of nature that our ancestors discovered fire, recognized it, and learned to use it and eat cooked food. They were careful to preserve the natural fire from the beginning, to a number of tens of thousands of years later, the invention of drilling wood for fire, striking flint for fire, creating the Chinese nation to take fire and use the fire of the precedent. 1961 to 1962, archaeologists in our city, Ruicheng County, West Houdou cultural sites during the investigation, in the early Pleistocene gravel layer of about more than 50 meters thick, the excavation of China's long-nosed, three-toed horse, Shanxi, lancelet rhinoceros, Jinnan elk, nama elephants, and other More than 20 species of extinct paleontological fossils, including gray, black, gray-green mammal sinews, antlers and horse teeth, and the Peking Man site in the excavation of the burned animal bones and teeth are no different. After laboratory tests proved that these animal remains are indeed burned, which is the famous "burned bones". After the ancient geomagnetic method determined that the West Houdu culture site at least 1.83 million years ago. Thus, the academic community believes that the West Houdu people lit the first human civilization fire, created the history of human fire, when the "ancestor of human cooking". This discovery, the time of mankind with fire forward more than 1 million years, known as the West Houdou people to mankind's great contribution.

Fire, to mankind brought cooked food, light and warmth; fire, greatly accelerated the pace of evolution of primitive mankind; artificial fire, marking the first time mankind grasped the change of the material world of the powerful force, so that human civilization has produced a major leap forward. It is because of the discovery and use of fire, our primitive ancestors gradually have all-weather activities and tenacious survival ability. It is no wonder that the History of the World says: "Fire is the greatest of all discoveries, enabling man to live in different climates, to produce a multitude of foods and to force the forces of nature to work for him." This assessment is apt.

Fire is a double-edged sword that has brought benefits to mankind, but has also often led to disaster. The benefits of fire and the harm of fire prevention have become an eternal pursuit of mankind. Ancient people's fear of fire gradually derived from the worship of the fire god. As far back as the clan society, there is a special place to worship the fire god. When mankind entered the stage of family life, the fire of the stove was evolved into a symbol of the fire god. To this day, in Yuncheng and some other places, people still retain the custom of sacrificing to the god of the stove on the night of the 23rd day of the lunar month every year.

The children of the Yellow Emperor have interpreted the sacred fire of China from ancient times to the present, from the ground to the sky, and have interpreted it to the fullest extent. It can be said that the history of the evolution of human civilization is a history of the development of fire culture that shines around the world.

Edit this section of the Ten Roots of Huaxia culture - Hou Tu chapter

In Wanrong County, Yuncheng City, the territory of the Huang (River) Fen (River) confluence, there is a shrine, is dedicated to the worship of the mother of the Queen Mother of Hou Tu and built, which is known as the "ancestor of the sea ancestral shrine," the ancestral shrine of the Queen Mother of Hou Tu. This place contains the deepest roots of the Chinese nation, the most ancient source, is the historical link between the global Chinese, is the important genealogical basis of the Chinese cultural genes.

In the ancient matriarchal society of China, the head of the clan (tribe) was called "Hou". The "queen" was the decision-maker, commander, and leader of all important things within the tribe. And the earth is also the ground. "The earth is the mother" (Houhanshu - Puppet clamor biography), both of which reproduce human beings. "Hou Tu", is the highest female monarch of matriarchal clan society. In recent years, more and more scholars have come to the conclusion that Hou Tu is in fact "Nüwa". Nuwa was a very famous clan leader in matrilineal clan society in ancient China. She arranged marriages, raised children (The General Meaning of Customs), made pianos and reeds, and created dances and music (Shiben Zuoshu), which enabled the Chinese nation to dawn a civilization as early as about 10,000 years ago. It can be said that she is the supreme ruler of the earth and the original ancestor of the Chinese nation. Out of respect, people worship her as they do the earth on which they depend for their survival, honoring her as "Mother Houtu" and "Mother Nuwa".

China's history of salt use began in Yuncheng, the earliest salt lake developed by our ancestors.
