Indication 20 on Civilization

The emergence of civilization was marked by the advent of metal tools, the invention of writing, and the formation of states.

From an anthropological point of view, the ultimate sign of mankind's separation from the animal kingdom and its transition from the age of barbarism to the age of civilization is not because of economic and cultural life, but because of political community and political life.

It is precisely because of the political community and political life that human beings need to coordinate different interests, establish a certain authority and order, formulate certain norms, and then form a certain social and political civilization.

Division of the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age

This division is appropriate in most parts of the world. The Bronze Age in China was the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the first belonged to the Stone Age, and the later was the Iron Age.

In the past, it was generally believed that the Iron Age began with the Warring States Period and became an important symbol of the beginning of feudal society. Broadly speaking, it is still the Iron Age, but of course, whether it should be called the "Electronic Age" can be discussed.

A society based on obedience, repression, and superstition cannot be called a civilized society.

The first, marked by the appearance of writing, is only available in bronze China.

First, metal tools represent the development of science and technology, words represent intellectual development, and the country represents social development!! The emergence of cities does not represent society, you know, the size and development of ancient cities are not conclusive, but the formation of the state represents the development of social organization to a considerable extent! In addition, bronze is not unique to China!!

Bronze age

The earliest in the early 4000s BC was the valley of the Two Rivers.

China 2000 BC Xia Dynasty.

The significance of the use of bronze: the invention and application of bronze smelting technology has made the metal smelting industry vigorously develop and promote the great division of labor in society. Handicrafts were separated from agriculture.

The advent of metal tools, the invention of writing and the formation of the state are the three major signs of human beings stepping into civilized society.

It should be noted that the emergence of civilization is not a definite event, but has gone through a long historical process. In this process, each region and each ethnic group has gradually formed its own distinctive civilization according to its own natural environment and historical background. Therefore, the emergence and development of civilization is a pluralistic and complex process.
