    The Great Unified Feudal Empire.

    Characteristics of modern Chinese history.

    1. From the perspective of exploration: it is a continuation of modern Western studies, with the characteristics of imitation: before the 80s, both politically and economically, it was mostly imitating the highly centralized political and economic system of the Soviet Union; Since the reform and opening up, it has imitated the business mode and management experience of the West.

    2. Judging from the course of exploration, it has the characteristics of twists and turns: Before the reform and opening up, the process of revolution and construction was either surpassed by reckless progress and detachment from reality, or it was interrupted from time to time due to leftist mistakes, which caused the focus of work to be incorrectly shifted, so that economic construction went from rushing forward to being interrupted until the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee.

    After that, it got on the right track and always took economic construction as the center.

    The common view of the historians of the past year is that 1840 A.D. is the beginning of modern times in our country, and before that, it was ancient times. The reason for this division is that the Opium War broke out that year, the Manchu court was completely defeated, and had to cede land for reparations, open ports, and passively integrate into the international market, which was a change unseen in thousands of years, and completely changed the nature of traditional society.

    China has a history of about 5,000 years. If we count from the period of the Yellow Emperor to about 2700 B.C., the history of China is about 4700 years, and if you round it up to the hundreds, it is 5,000 years old. Chinese history refers to the history of China from the opening of Pangu to the 21st century.

    China has a long history, about 5,000 years from the mythological era of Pangu, Nuwa, Houyi and so on; It is about 4,600 years from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors; It is about 4,100 years since the Xia Dynasty; It is about 2,200 years from the Qin Dynasty, the first great unified dynasty of China.

    As far as the present is concerned, the origin of Chinese civilization should be the Erlitou culture, and its typical site is the Erlitou site of Yanshi in Henan. The Erlitou site is divided into four phases, and the scale of the settlement has become very large since the second phase, with an area of 3 million square meters, and the previous Neolithic period, only the Taosi site has a similar scale (2.8 million square meters), and from the third phase, there are bronze workshops and other handicraft workshops. Erlitou ruins show the characteristics of the city, bronze smelting, royal palace and other civilizations, although there is no writing, but from the perspective of cultural inheritance, Erlitou --- Zhengzhou**--- Yinxu are in the same line, and Yinxu just unearthed the world-famous oracle bone inscription, and it is confirmed that it is the site of the late Shang Dynasty (the capital after Pangeng moved the capital), so the Erlitou culture can be regarded as the Shang culture at least from the third period (if Zhengzhou ** is the capital of Shangtang, Erlitou is the first Shang culture; If not, then Erlitou is the early Shang culture), and the history of China (the history of civilization) should begin here.

    If you do the math, the historical era of China may have begun around 1700 BC (according to the latest carbon-14 dating results, the Erlitou site is about 1750 BC and 1530 BC). China was in a prehistoric era (or part of a protohistoric era). Therefore, the history of China is at most 3,700 years, counting from the beginning of the Shang civilization.

    Internationally, it is said that Chinese history began with the Shang Dynasty, so it is 3700 years. And if you count the time of the Five Emperors, it is more than 5,000 years. Because in the 600th year of Xia and the 165th year of Yaoshun, the Three Emperors did not pass on the country, so there were about 500 years.

    That's about 5,000 years. Greece and Rome are not ancient civilizations, because Greece was really around 1000 BC, later than the four ancient civilizations, and was greatly influenced by Egypt in the early days, and later had its own development, so it is not counted. But because of their contributions to Western culture, they are called classical civilizations.

    The other three ancient civilizations began around 3500 BC, 3000 BC, and 2500 BC, and the reason why China is later than them is because historians have discovered that the earliest written records are from the Shang Dynasty. If the city had been built according to the press, China would not have been very late, probably because the written records before the Xia Dynasty have not been handed down, so it was 1700 BC.

    Ancient Chinese history began with the Yuanmou people about 1.7 million years ago and ended before the Opium War in 1840.

    The "Yuanmou Man" 1.7 million years ago was the earliest known primitive human in China. Nearly 600,000 years ago, the "Peking people" who lived in the Zhoukoudian area of Beijing were able to walk upright, make and use simple tools, and knew how to use fire. Neolithic sites around 10,000 years ago are all over China.

    In the ruins of Hemudu, Yuyao, Zhejiang, and Banpo, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, six or seven thousand years ago, artificially cultivated rice, millet grains and farming tools were found.

    The oldest dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, began in 2070 BC. The central area of the Xia Dynasty, in the western part of present-day Henan Province and the southern part of Shanxi, had reached the north and south of the Yellow River, and began to enter a slave society.

    The Shang and Western Zhou dynasties, which followed the Xia, further developed the slavery system. This was followed by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the power of the royal family declined and the princes competed for hegemony, which is considered to be a stage of transition from a slave society to a feudal society.
