1. The main contents of the Central Plains culture and the charm of the Central Plains culture. The Central Plains culture is extensive, profound and has a long history.

On the surface, it is a kind of regional culture. On the deeper level, it is not an ordinary regional culture, but the root and backbone of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, occupying a prominent position in the history of the development of Chinese culture.

Specifically, it includes the following eighteen main aspects.

[1] 1. Prehistoric culture Prehistoric culture of the Central Plains The prehistoric culture of the Central Plains has a long history, is rich in content, and has a wide range of fields.

In the Peiligang culture 8,000 years ago, hundreds of polished stone tools and pottery were unearthed at the Peiligang site in Xinzheng. At the Wuyang Jiahu site, 53 Neolithic house sites, 370 kilns, 13 pottery kilns, and

Nearly 5,000 cultural relics were unearthed from ash pits, tombs, urn coffins, etc., especially the oldest and most complete bone flute unearthed in the world, which rewrote the history of world music; the unearthed wine-making relics were copied by American recipes.

The production of 9,000-year-old ancient wine caused a sensation in the world.

In the Yangshao Culture 7,000 years ago, a large number of painted pottery and polished stone tools were unearthed, which fully reflects the production and living conditions of our ancestors in the Neolithic Age.

During the Longshan Culture period 5,000 years ago, quite a wealth of pottery animal reliefs and cultural relics such as tripods, jars, and pots were also discovered in Henan.

It can be seen from this that prehistoric culture was discovered in Henan not just in one place, nor just in a few or several historical relics in several places, but in continuous and large-scale historical relics.

All these fully demonstrate that Henan was in a leading position throughout the prehistoric civilization period, and that the Central Plains was one of the earliest places where Chinese civilization began.

[2] 2. Shenlong Culture Shenlong Culture Shenlong is a symbol of wisdom, bravery, auspiciousness and nobility.

Henan is the hometown of dragons.

Taihao Fuxi, known as the ancestor of humanities, created the first dragon totem in the area of ??Huaiyang, Zhoukou today, and created the dragon totem, realizing the first great integration of multiple tribes in ancient times; he is also known as the ancestor of humanities.

After the Yellow Emperor unified all the tribes in the Yellow River Basin, in order to unite the thoughts and spirits of the tribes, the dragon was also used as the totem of the new tribe in the Xinzheng area today. The Chinese today are called "descendants of Yan and Huang" and "descendants of the dragon"

”, that’s why.

Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, the dragon cultural relics discovered in our province not only have a long history, but are also the most authentic.

The Puyang clam dragon dates back 6,400 years and is the earliest dragon image in China. It is hailed as "China's first dragon" by the archaeological community. The large turquoise dragon-shaped artifact discovered at the Erlitou site in Yanshi, "the first capital of China", dates back to today.

At least 3700 years ago, it was named the "Chinese Dragon" by scholars, among others.

These relics of dragon culture are inherited from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties. They are the source of dragon totems of the Chinese nation. In terms of form, they can be said to be the ancestors of the various dragon images in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Many folk customs in the Central Plains and across the country are also related to dragons, such as dragon lantern dancing on festive days, worshiping the Dragon King and eating dragon beard noodles on the second day of the second lunar month, and dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In addition to being spread and inherited in China, these cultures have also been brought to various parts of the world by Chinese people who have traveled overseas. In Chinese residential areas or Chinese cities around the world, the most common and eye-catching ornament is the dragon.

The image of the dragon, which emerged and was perfected from the land of 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 unity.

[3] 3. In the history of politics and culture, the Central Plains has long been a big stage for political competition, regime change, and political system evolution. Countless major political events and activities have occurred, and accumulated

A large amount of political wisdom and experience have formed a very rich political culture.

The Yellow Emperor is the recognized ancestor who created the initial political system and established the prototype of national governance.

From the abdication 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 disputes, exchanges, and alliances between countries continued to promote the development of the political system, ushered in the beginning of feudal society, and formed a relatively complete feudal system.

For more than 3,000 years from the Xia Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Henan has always been the political, economic and cultural center of our country. More than 200 emperors have established or moved their capitals here, forming the pinnacle and glory of political civilization several times.

Among the eight ancient capitals in China, there are four in Henan: Kaifeng, Luoyang, Anyang, and Zhengzhou. Among them, Luoyang was the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties.

Since ancient times, China has been "chasing the Central Plains", "aiming for the Central Plains", and "whoever wins the Central Plains will win the world" comes from this.

4. Sage culture Among the four major ancient civilizations in the world, the various cultural backgrounds are different, and the worship is also different. India advocates animals, Greece and Egypt advocate gods, and China highly advocates sages.

As an important birthplace of Chinese culture, the Central Plains has produced many cultural saints who are very famous.

For example, the sage Jiang Taigong, the sage Laozi, the sage Mozi, the sage Fan Li, the sage Zhang Zhongjing, the sage Zhang Heng, the sage Xu Shen, the sage Du Fu, the sage Wu Daozi, the sage Zhu Zaiyu, etc.

Not only is he admired by people for his majestic personality, but he also created a large number of classic works with his rich knowledge and profound thinking, which have become immortal monuments in the history of the development of Chinese culture.

The "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu, a thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period, explains the evolution of all things in the universe with "Tao" and expounds a large number of simple dialectical views. It has had a profound impact on the development of my country's ideological and cultural development for more than 2,000 years. Its circulation is second only to "Tao Te Ching" in the world. Bible".
