Is China one of the four ancient civilizations?

China is one of the four ancient civilizations.

Sure, you might be guessing if that Maya was or not.

This statement is a mistake and has been passed down from more than one China. Moreover, the four ancient civilizations are the saying that circulated in China, the saying is not standardized, and it has not been recognized by the world, and the four ancient civilizations refer to ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India, and ancient China.

If we want to talk about the "country" of the "ancient countries", then the ancient "Sumerian, Minoan, Hittite, Babylonian, Greece, Iran, Syria" are all different "countries", all of which were "ancient civilizations" earlier (or almost at the same time) than ancient China. In fact, there was more than one country in Asia Minor or the valley of the two rivers, and there was more than one country in ancient India. **Come to the "Big Four", where to start?

In fact, it is difficult to establish, not to mention that the civilization of many regions is thousands of years earlier than China.

The most influential and far-reaching civilizations that have continued to the present day are the Greek civilization (later integrated with the Judean and Eastern Roman cultures), the Indian civilization (Hinduism, Sanskrit classics, etc.) and the Chinese Xia and Shang civilization (later integrated with the Chinese cultures), and these three major civilizations have continued to this day. Among them, we see the inheritance of European civilization to ancient Greek civilization, and the relative rigidity, stagnation (slow development) and decline of Chinese civilization and Indian civilization! In this way, the reference to "the three oldest civilizations" and "the three major civilizations that continue to this day", or the "five birthplaces of human civilization" (West Asia, North Africa, India, Greece, and China) is more standardized.

The four ancient civilizations are the Chinese (ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient Babylon), and the West does not have the four major sayings.

The five ancient civilizations of the West have the following sayings:

Ancient China, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India, Ancient Babylon, Ancient Mexico (Maya).

Ancient China, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India, Ancient Babylon, Ancient Greece.

Ancient China, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India, Ancient Babylon, Ancient Inca.

But the calendar is one of the most important symbols in the history of human civilization.

In ancient times, the calendar was the main sign of civilization.

The world's five ancient civilizations: ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient Babylon, and ancient Mexico are all famous for their calendars.

The ancient Egyptian solar calendar originated around 4,000 BC; The ancient Babylonian solar calendar originated around mid-4000 BC; The ancient Mexican Mayan solar calendar originated more than 3100 BC; The ancient Indian lunar calendar originated around 2500 BC; The ancient Chinese lunisolar calendar originated around 2100 BC.

So the five ancient kingdoms should be a group that includes ancient Mexico.

And ancient Greece is the birthplace of five major civilizations:

Ancient China – Birthplace: China's Yellow River Basin, which gave birth to the entire East Asian civilization.

Ancient Greece - the birthplace: the islands of the Aegean Sea in Europe, which gave birth to the entire European civilization.

Ancient Babylon – Birthplace: The valley of the two rivers in Western Asia, which gave birth to the entire Arab civilization.

Ancient Egypt – Birthplace: The Nile Valley in North Africa, which gave birth to the entire African civilization.

Ancient India - Birthplace: The Indus Valley in South Asia, which gave birth to the entire South Asian civilization.
