The Formation Process of China Traditional Culture

1, the origin of civilization

"China", "Huaxia" and "Huaxia" are synonyms (ancient refers to the Central Plains or the Central Plains Dynasty, and contemporary refers to the Huaxia State), which originated in the Central Plains and refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It has a long history and came into being at the same time as Egypt, Mesopotamia and India.

It is widely spread in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and its influence includes political consciousness, ideology and religion, education and life culture. Its cultural circle concept is also called "Huaxia Cultural Circle" and "Han Cultural Circle".

Chinese civilization, also known as Huaxia civilization, is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and one of the longest-lasting civilizations in the world. Chinese civilization has a long history, which is 5000 years from the era of the Yellow Emperor. It is universally acknowledged that China is one of the oldest ancient civilizations. It is generally believed that there are many direct sources of Chinese civilization, among which the Yellow River civilization and the Yangtze River civilization are the main ones. The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are called the "mother rivers" of the Chinese nation.

2. Prehistoric period

According to the legend, China culture experienced Chao, Sui, Fu, Shen Nong, Huang Di, Xuan Yuan, Yao, Shun and Yu in the ancient culture period. Based on archaeology: such as Paleolithic Age and Neolithic Age.

In the era of Homo sapiens, culture began to appear. Archaeological discoveries in this period included sewing clothes and funerals, and the Neolithic Age began to understand farming. In Hunan, there has been the first record of manual farming, and social culture began to appear, forming a clan commune.

Archaeological discoveries in the Central Plains show that Peiligang culture and Jiahu culture from 7000 BC to 10000 BC have entered a primitive clan society with primitive agriculture, livestock and poultry breeding and handicraft production as the mainstay, supplemented by fishing and hunting.

3, the legendary era

Erlitou culture in Luoyang, Henan Province has been the earliest capital of China from the 20th century to the 7th century. Among the Erlitou ruins, the bronze Jue is the earliest known bronze container in China. There are also bronze ornaments of animal faces inlaid with turquoise, which are the earliest known copper inlaid jade articles. Jade articles include Gui, Zhang, Cong, Yue, Ge and Dao, as well as beautifully made pottery.

Erligang cultural site was confirmed as the location of the early Shang Dynasty, and the regime changed many times from the early Shang Dynasty to the middle Shang Dynasty. Before Pan Geng moved its capital to Yin Ruins, it should have moved its capital many times, and Erlitou site may also be one of the abandoned capitals.
