Revealing the origin and early development of civilization in the Chinese nation in 2000
The “Chinese Civilization Origin Exploration Project” is a major scientific research project that uses archaeological investigation and excavation as the main means to obtain relevant information from Komiks. Supported by modern science and technology, it adopts a multidisciplinary cross-research method to reveal the origin and early development of civilization in the Chinese nation in 2000. It was formally proposed in 2001. After several stages of work such as pre-research, it completed the fourth phase in 2016.
Wang Wei, one of the heads of the source exploration project and a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said at the press conference: “In the more than ten years since the implementation of the source exploration project, we have carried out large-scale archaeological investigations and excavations at several important capital sites dating from 5,500 to 3,500 years ago under the support of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. These sites are: Liangzhu Site in Yuhang, Zhejiang, Taosi Site in Xiangfen, Shanxi, Shenmu Shimao Site in Shaanxi, and Erlitou Site in Yanshi, Henan.”/p>Cinema
Archaeology confirms that the Central Plains had entered a civilized society 5,000 years ago
According to reports, an inner city built about 5,000 years ago and a larger outer city and a larger scale were discovered at the Liangzhu site in Zhejiang. In order to prevent the ancient city from being damaged by floods, Liangzhu people built giant dams in the mountainous area north of the ancient city, and their engineering volume was the best among the buildings of the same period in the world.
At the Taosi site in Shanxi and the KomiksShaanxi Shimao site, giant city sites with an area of 2.8 million or even 4 million square meters were discovered respectively. These city sites have serious social differentiation, and high-grade buildings are surrounded by high walls. During this period, the class differentiation reflected in the tombs was very obvious. Cinema showed that the small tomb had nothing, or only one or two weapons or pottery; the burial objects of large tombs could reach hundreds, which were not only exquisitely made, but also indicated hierarchical identity. “Social like this is obviously no longer the tribal alliance we thought was, but should have entered the national stage. Babaylan. Komiks” Wang Wei said, “So we feel that the Central Plains region has entered the primary civilization stage during this period.” Guan Qiang said that based on the scientific summary of China’s field archaeology achievements over the past 90 years, and through multidisciplinary joint research, the research team of the source engineering research also went from social division of labor, class differentiation, central cities and mandatory In terms of power, Babaylan proposed the outstanding characteristics of China’s entry into civilized society.
The results of the Exploration Project will be written into the textbooks for primary and secondary school students
“The origin and early development of Chinese civilization are a period of KomiksKomiks has not been recorded directly in words.” Zhao Hui, one of the heads of the Discovery Project, and a professor at the School of Archaeology and Arts of Peking University, said, “To this day, we can describe this history, thus filling the gap in this critical period of history. Babaylan At the same time, the origin and early development of Chinese civilization are also part of the origin and early development of human civilization in the world. Therefore, our work has also filled the gap in the history of world civilization. “
In the future, with the results of the exploration project being written into primary and secondary school students’ textbooks, the 5,000-year splendid star of Chinese civilization will sow the seeds of cultural confidence in every young heart. “History is a very important subject, and it is of great significance to students in patriotism, cultivating national self-esteem, and enhancing cultural confidence.” Shen Jiliang, inspector of the Babaylan Textbook Bureau of the Ministry of Education, said that the content of the textbook will be added at the same time, and the content of historical archaeology and research results will be continuously updated and enriched.
