China has a history of 5,000 years, and it didn t develop at all before 1900

In fact, it was the four ancient civilizations that laid the foundation of the current civilization, and everything was difficult at the beginning, and before 1900, it was only groping in the dark, and there was only a hazy concept of science. The development of the United States was built on the foundation of the Industrial Revolution, especially the Second Industrial Revolution.

In 1807, Fulton invented the first steam engine, and Faraday invented the generator in 1831, which changed the entire human civilization, and then the whole world entered a stage of rapid development. It can be said that it has been developing before, but with mechanical power and electricity, all previous inventions and creations can exert tens of thousands of times the ability. As is often said, how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest board of the barrel, and these two images were invented to make up for the shortest board.

In another 5,000 years, the children at that time also thought that you lived in ancient times and fainted to death.

0. Your problem itself is problematic. It is only a matter of time before the ancient and the modern are divided, and hundreds of years later, we are also ancients.

1. The world has been developing, and mankind has been progressing. The progress of science and technology is an accelerating process, and the acceleration is increasing.

2. The combat capabilities of the X37B have yet to be verified.

3. Ancient China has been at the forefront of human civilization since the Xia and Shang periods.

4. The leading position in science and technology lasted for thousands of years, and was overtaken by Europe in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

5. The economic strength was not overtaken by Europe and the United States until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

6. The United States, unlike China, developed out of thin air and spent thousands of years. Although the United States was founded for hundreds of years, it was built on the foundation of thousands of years of European civilization.

7. The United States stands on the shoulders of giants, and the giants are Europe and the whole world.

8. From World War I to World War II, nearly 400,000 European scholars emigrated to the United States, which greatly promoted the development of the United States.

9. After World War II, hundreds of thousands of professionals of all kinds immigrated to the United States every year, which is the key to America's leadership.

10. Chinese civilization will soon be able to return to its original position.

Scientific progress is different, China's all-round development has made a profound cultural heritage. The United States was formed late, and people came from all over the world, which gathered all kinds of more advanced development methods of society at that time. Besides, the world war did not affect his homeland, and the war made him accumulate.

It's a bargain.

It's not that there is no development, it's just that the development is slow, the nature of society is different, and the labor force is different.

Because of the policy of closing the country to the outside world in the last years of the Ming and Qing dynasties, people's thoughts were imprisoned and their thoughts were stagnant.

Haven't you ever heard that standing on the shoulders of giants When the United States was founded, all kinds of science and technology must have developed to a certain stage, and educational and cultural undertakings also had a certain scale, so they developed very rapidly.

Before 1900, China was in a long-term feudal society, and the nature of the feudal society determined that they would suppress the development of advanced industrial and commercial capitalism, and capitalism represented advanced technology and productive forces. In fact, capitalism was already budding at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the barbaric Qing rulers destroyed most of the Han civilization, and every time the nomadic tribe ruled the Central Plains, it would inevitably bring great harm to China's development, whether it was cultural, economic, or scientific civilization. There is also the lock-up policy of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ban on the sea after the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, and the lock-up order of the Qing Dynasty led to contacts between China and foreign countries, and as a result, China did not enjoy the fruits of the first industrial revolution at all.

As the saying goes, one step is the same, and the other is the same, so China is poor and weak, while the West is getting stronger and stronger.

It's not that there is no development, but that it has developed in an all-round way, and the development is slow.

Hehe, you are really an anxious child, there were scientists in ancient times, there are many ah, the development of society is like a person starting a business to make money, at the beginning, a lot of effort, but not necessarily to make money, after a certain foundation, after the scale, maybe the money earned in a day, is the sum of the money made in the previous years, of course, a bit exaggerated, just an example. What I want to say is that development is a process, it needs to be accumulated and precipitated, and maybe in 1000 years, someone will ask you questions like this. You think it's going to be fast now, maybe in a few hundred years, it's going to be slow.

People at each stage consider themselves to be the fastest in their development.

The United States is a special case, you can look at his family history, the scientific and technological revolution, the world war, let him soar into the sky.

There is no uniform conclusion on the length of Chinese history, because there are different lengths according to different calculation methods. It is about 2,200 years since the Qin Dynasty, when China first established a unified and centralized empire; It is about 3,500 years from the Shang Dynasty, when writing was first used in China and became a history of letters. It is about 4,200 years since the Xia Dynasty proved by the double evidence method; It is about 4,600 years from the legendary era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors mentioned by Confucius; It is about 5,000 years from the mythological era of Pangu, God, Nuwa, etc., which is still uncertain (which is also the length in the sense of Chinese historical tradition in the perception of ordinary Chinese); It is about 10,000 years from the Neolithic Magnetic Mountain Culture, which marked the beginning of human civilization; The Paleolithic Lantian ape-man culture has a history of about 800,000 years since humans began to break away from primitive life.

At the same time, some historians believe that in the history of human civilization, the definition of "historical era" refers to the period from the time of the invention of writing, and before that, it is called "prehistoric era"; In history, it is said that Fuxi made gossip, and Cangjie made words in the Yellow Emperor era; Modern archaeology has found oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty more than 3,350 years ago (1350 BC), pottery inscriptions from about 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, and turtle bone inscriptions with the nature of writing from about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.

It can be investigated in detail, there is a basis, since the beginning of the summer of Dayu, this year is the summer calendar 4711, less than 5000 years, so it is called up and down 5000 years, about 5000 years.

It is only 5,000 years since the establishment of the country (counting from the Xia Dynasty), but the current history can be verified for less than 5,000 years (only a little before the conclusion of King Zhou You), that is, we often say that it is 5,000 years up and down, but it is not recognized in the international academic community.

It mainly depends on how to define history. The history of 5,000 years is generally understood as the late period of the clan alliance to the present, if you think that someone has a history, it can be counted from the Yuanmou people 1.7 million years ago, and if you want to look at it according to the literature, it must be counted from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

As we all know, to dare to call the history of civilization must meet three standard conditions: 1) the emergence of city-states 2, the extensive use of bronze 3, the creation and use of writing, all three are indispensable. This is an internationally recognized standard, and it is also recognized by the Chinese historians. So according to this standard, the official written history of civilization in China began in the late Shang Dynasty, that is, in the 14th and 11th centuries BC, which is indeed about 3,000 years!

Moreover, the international community only recognizes the history of Chinese civilization as more than 3,000 years! Speaking of which, many people must be unconvinced, because according to your history textbooks, the history of 5,000 years of civilization is from the Yellow Emperor, "Dayu to control the water" began, about 4200 years ago, but the text has always been a general statement, but there is no cultural relics to prove that there is indeed a "Dayu water" this history, if it can not be proved to the world, then "Dayu water" can only be like "Pangu open the world" is just a legend! There is also the Xia Dynasty, which is the most controversial in your history, and it is internationally believed that there is no Xia Dynasty in Chinese history at all.

Although your primary school textbooks refer to the Xia Dynasty as the first dynasty in China, the history of the university clearly states that the Xia Dynasty was a "dynasty on paper".

Like the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, the Xia Dynasty was actually a dynasty in the history of Chinese mythology. At least until now, no evidence has been unearthed that would prove the true existence of the Xia Dynasty.

There is no written record, and even in the documents of the Shang Dynasty, there is not even a trace of the shadow of the Xia Dynasty before the "Shang". Even if they did exist, they were only primitive tribes at that time, and they didn't even have writing, so they couldn't talk about the history of civilization with Ben.

Before the Shang Dynasty, there were no horses in China.

By the Han Dynasty, China's horse industry was thriving, and this was because the Han people were nomads.

Now the successful application of the Liangzhu civilization for the World Heritage List can show that China has a history of more than 5,000 years and has been recognized by other countries.

Plus a total of more than 5,000 years BC. The first year of the Common Era is calculated from the year of Jesus' birth, which is the Western chronology.

The Shang Dynasty is about 3,000 years old.
