Overview

Chinese civilization is one of the oldest and most advanced civilizations in history, dating back over five thousand years. It has influenced cultural development across East Asia and left a lasting impression on multiple aspects of Chinese society today. This extraordinary ancient culture affects modern life profoundly, from dynasties to traditions. This book tells the story of one of China's ten significant archaeological discoveries in 2020-- the Shuanghuaishu site. The Shuanghuaishu site, located around the Heluo Town 130 km west of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, where the Yi and Luo Rivers meet and join into the Yellow River, was proved to be the large-scale central settlement of an ancient state ca. 5,300 years ago. The site displays what a city was like at the origin of Chinese civilization. Due to its location in Heluo town and its importance as a landmark in Chinese archaeological history, experts have proposed naming the site "" Ancient State of Heluo."" From the book, readers can get a glimpse into the city, architecture, tombs, tooth-carving silkworms, etc., as well as people's study and understanding of the Big Dipper and neighboring stars in China during the Yangshao period at the time of 5,000- 6,000 years ago.
