In the eyes of China people, China is great and one of the ancient civilizations in the world. China is a country with a long history of 5,000 years. However, many westerners are skeptical about this statement, because their history is only 1000 years at most, and some even have a history of several hundred years. Compared with themselves, China's long history and culture naturally make them suspicious.

At first, many people even thought that the Shang Dynasty in China was just a fairy tale, but it was not until the appearance of Oracle Bone Inscriptions that we realized that the Shang Dynasty in China was not a virtual dynasty, but a real dynasty.

But is Oracle Bone Inscriptions really the origin of China culture? Were there no other dynasties before Shang Dynasty? Then we have to start with Chinese civilization. At first, we thought that Chinese civilization was the Central Plains civilization, that is, the period of three emperors and five emperors. Later, this idea was rejected. Because we found the site of Hongshan Culture outside the Central Plains, this site is older than many historical sites and monuments we found before, which shows that the civilization outside the Central Plains is much earlier than the Central Plains.

It was not until later that we discovered Liangzhu site, a site with a history of more than 5,000 years. A large number of stone products have been unearthed from this site. Although it looks ordinary and has no practical value, it is of great research value. Its discovery also rewrote Chinese civilization. We always thought that the ancient place might be a barren land, but the appearance of this cultural relic tells us that ancient times were not as simple as we thought.

Especially on these unearthed cultural relics, there are actually 656 relatively standardized characters. If these scripts can be regarded as scripts, then Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the oldest script, which will be overthrown and the origin and history of Chinese civilization will be rewritten.

After studying these characters, it is found that they seem to belong to hieroglyphics like Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and they are closely related to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the eyes of Chinese experts. If they really have a lot to do with Oracle Bone Inscriptions, or can explain the ideographic function of China characters, it means that China had characters more than 5,000 years ago, but all this is still under textual research.

In textual research, western experts who don't want to admit Chinese civilization naturally tend to think that these unearthed characters can't clearly represent the predecessor of China characters.

In fact, this statement by western experts is somewhat subjective in the final analysis. This is easy to understand. After all, everyone has their own sense of cultural identity and national pride, and will not be willing to admit that their culture is weaker than others.

There are so many historical relics unearthed in China, and the historical relics in each period are different, which can represent the characteristics and research value at that time, while there are thousands of historical relics unearthed in China, but few in other countries. For example, there was a Bronze Age in China, and even some historical relics such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions were unearthed, which are worthy of our discussion. If only one of these things is taken out, it can form a good contrast with foreign countries. I believe these western experts will definitely have this sense of gap.

From beginning to end, there have never been such valuable cultural relics abroad as ourselves, which is one of the reasons why many other countries are so interested in our antiques, and this is actually the reason why they are unwilling to recognize our culture.
