    Ancient: China is known in the West as one of the four ancient civilizations. (That's what the West thinks, but what the ancient Chinese don't).

    According to the records of "Shangshu" and "Historical Records", there were written records in China more than 4,000 years ago.

    Civilization: During the period of the Yellow Emperor, China formulated a state system, calendar, writing, weights and measures, etc. Become a civilized country, one of the first few civilized countries in the world.

    Therefore, China is an ancient civilization.

    Because ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, and ancient India, among the four ancient civilizations, have long since died out in history, only Chinese civilization is the only continuous ancient civilization in the world today.

    Modern Egypt and India and ancient Egypt and India are just maintaining the same country name, and they have little to do with the main people and cultures. Ancient Babylon did not even retain the name of the country, and the place where the ancient Babylon established a powerful kingdom was roughly in the area of present-day Iraq.

    Chinese civilization is not the earliest civilization, nor was it the first country to be established in Kuanjube, nor is it the largest country in the current territory, but the Chinese Qiaoma civilization is the only continuous ancient civilization in the world today. The inheritance of Chinese culture, the enduring nature of Chinese writing, the expansion of China's territory in the midst of stability, and the stability of China's Juche nation are the unique existence in the world and the guarantee for the continuation of Chinese civilization.

    The reasons for saying that China is the only ancient civilization are as follows:

    Although China has experienced many dynasties and foreign invasions in history, its culture has been inherited from beginning to end, and its language, writing, religious beliefs, philosophical thoughts, science and technology have all been relatively intact. Therefore, China, as one of the four ancient civilizations, is the only country whose civilization has not had a fault.

    In 1500 BC the Aryans invaded India. Since then, the Aryan classical civilization replaced the Indus civilization, and later, Alexander invaded the east to create the Mauryan Empire, and India entered the Middle Ages. Therefore, after the Aryan invasion, the ancient Indian civilization was discontinued.

    In 626 B.C., the Chaldeans, a branch of the Semitic tribe, occupied ancient Babylon, and since then they have replaced ancient Babylon and established a new kingdom of Babylon, and the ancient Babylonian civilization has been broken.

    Ancient Egypt was founded in 3000 BC and went through 8 periods and 31 dynasties, and was finally conquered by Persia and died out from there, taking with it the ancient Egyptian civilization.

    China is an ancient civilization.

    Ancient civilizations generally refer to ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, China, and ancient India, which were the first countries or regions where human civilization was born, and sometimes ancient Greece. The significance of these ancient civilizations lies not in the chronological order, but in the fact that they are the birthplace of different modern civilizations, which can also be said to be a point of creation.

    The Huazhu Lingxia civilization was born in about 3000 B.C., the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City, etc. are all representatives of Chinese civilization, oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, seal inscriptions, official scripts, etc. have been continuously passed down through development, although they have experienced a lot of turmoil and war like other civilizations, although they have undergone many changes of dynasty, but the civilization has never perished. Whether it is race, language, or culture, it has been successfully passed on, thanks to the strong ability to assimilate.

    Other ancient civilizations

    The ancient Egyptian civilization was born in about 4000 BC, and the pyramids, the Sphinx, the temple of Abu Simbel, and the temple of Karnak witnessed the prosperity of this civilization, but ancient Egypt in the 11th century AD was turbulent, not only invaded by Babylon, Persia and other empires, but also destroyed by the Persian Empire in 343 BC, and the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt was destroyed by Rome in 30 BC.

    The ancient Indian civilization was born in about 3100 BC, Mohenjo and Harappa are the representative buildings of this civilization, and the civilization gradually disappeared after the Aryan invasion around 1750 BC and the disappearance of the Indus city-states. The Dravidian people disappeared completely, the seal script was not passed down to the next generation, let alone the culture, completely wiped out.
