When were the ancient and medieval times in Europe?
Ancient times: Generally speaking, ancient times refers to the historical era before written records appeared. So the definition of ancient times is different around the world. In China, ancient times generally refers to the era before the summer. In Lianghe Valley and Egypt, it generally refers to the historical era before 5000 BC. Because there was no direct written record at that time in ancient times, the events or figures that happened at that time could not be directly verified. These events and figures are usually fictitious. In the history of western civilization, the term "Middle Ages: Medieval Times" refers to the history of Europe from about 500 to 1500. The beginning of the Middle Ages marked the decline of the Western Roman Empire, and the ancient history of the salty classical period came to an end. The end of the Middle Ages heralded the beginning of the Renaissance (the rebirth of Europe). There are several major events that can mark the end of the Middle Ages. These include the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the first use of the printing press in 1456, the discovery of the new continent by Europeans in 1492, the religious reform led by Martin Luther in15, and the prosperity of Italian art. However, the Middle Ages ended in the middle of ancient and modern history. It is not suitable to describe the major historical periods in Asia and the Middle East. China developed gradually from prehistoric times until the advent of modern western history, and there was no period of great division similar to that in Europe. Although China was ruled by many dynasties and invaded by foreign countries, its cultural development was basically stable. Japan's cultural process is also stable and isolated. The history of the Middle East is closer to that of Europe in the Middle Ages, because the two regions lived next to each other and shared many fruits of mutual exchanges.
