China has a civilization history of 5,000 years, but the recorded history is limited to 4,000 years ago. Before 1000, the legendary "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" era was widely questioned due to the lack of archaeological evidence. The appearance of Niuheliang large-scale prehistoric sacrificial site, located at the junction of Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and Hebei provinces, provides strong material evidence for the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization with solid and rich archaeological data.

Huaxia civilization refers to the civilization created by the Chinese nation (the predecessor of the Han nationality). China is also called "China" and "Zhu Hua", and also called "Xia" or "Zhu Xia". The word "Huaxia" was first found in Shangshu Zhou Shu Wucheng, and "Huaxia is arrogant and useless", which means that no matter the nationalities in the Central Plains or those in remote areas, they all obey Zhou Wuwang. Among them, "Huaxia" is the later Han nationality.
