Ancient Chinese civilization appeared in the Neolithic Age in about seven or eight thousand years, such as the famous Hongshan culture, Cishan culture, and Liangzhu culture.
Chinese civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and one of the longest-lasting civilizations in the world. The Yellow River and the Yangtze River were important factors in the emergence of Chinese civilization. The agricultural civilization produced in the Yellow River Basin was affected by the natural and geographical factors in the historical period, and constantly transitioned and developed to the agricultural civilization in the Yangtze River Basin.
The agricultural civilization in the Yangtze River Basin is the inheritance and development of the agricultural civilization in the Yellow River Basin. In the early days of agriculture in the Yellow River Basin, millet was generally cultivated, and rice was mainly cultivated in the Yangtze River Basin.
China is one of the important birthplaces of mankind. As early as about 8 million years ago, Australopithecus had lived in Kaiyuan, Lufeng and other places in Yunnan. Since then, after a long period of evolution, primitive people, clans and tribes in different periods have emerged, such as Yuanmou people, Lantian people, Beijing people, mountain cave people and Banpo people, etc., and at the same time experienced several stages of primitive people, matrilineal society and patrilineal society.
China is also an ancient country with a glorious civilization. From the date of entering the threshold of civilization, China has successively experienced the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Song, Liao, Xiajin, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Successive rulers, with their respective political achievements, have performed different plays on the stage of history, or they have gone down in history or have been infamous for thousands of years.
Among them, in the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods, the whole process of the development of slave society was experienced. From the beginning of the Warring States period, feudal society was born, and the Qin Dynasty established the first centralized feudal empire in Chinese history. Since then, the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were the stage of rapid growth of feudal society, the Tang and Song dynasties experienced the most glorious era of feudal society, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the feudal society flourished and declined, and finally entered the modern society with many disasters and difficulties.

Ancient Chinese civilization originated in 3000 BC.
The focus of the exploration of ancient Chinese civilization is from the period of the "Five Emperors" recorded in literature to the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, that is, from 3000 BC to 221 BC.
The preliminary topics include: the culture and society of the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor and the Yao Shunyu period, the origin of Chinese characters, the changes in the environment during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the origin of agriculture and animal husbandry, the development of handicrafts, the origin of cities, the relationship between the origin of war and civilization and the formation of kingship, the origin of religious beliefs, and the comparison of ancient Chinese civilization with other ancient civilizations in the world.
Archaeologists will extract the genes of ancient humans from 5,000 years ago in the main activity area of the legendary Yanhuang Group, and compare them with those of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Qin and Han dynasties, and even modern China to study the formation process of the Chinese nation.

China has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and these are all regarded as part of the history of Chinese civilization, that is, the history of the birth of "China". The cognitive context is that these human groups gradually formed a loose interaction circle in the cultural interaction of mutual exchange and collision, which also laid the foundation of Chinese civilization in later generations.
With the publication of a series of important discoveries since the late 1970s, there is general agreement that cities and states appeared in China before three dynasties of dynastic civilization, and that they are important clues to the origin of Chinese civilization. It has a long history and a single line of evolution, which has never been interrupted, and has become the mainstream view of the Chinese academic community on the origin of Chinese civilization.

Xie Zhaoqian recorded in the "Five Miscellaneous Works": "Today's common saying that the kiln is called the magnetic ware, and the kiln in Cizhou has the most, so the name is extended, such as silver is called Miti, ink is called Mi Mi, and so on.
