Why do you say 5000 years of history to see Shanxi?

First, we call ourselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Yao Temple is in Linfen, Shanxi, Dayu is from Yuncheng, Shanxi, and Linfen and Yuncheng are very close.

Second, the Chinese nation originated in Shanxi. Since the era of Emperor Yao, the descendants of China have carried forward this place in Shanxi.

Third, among the three emperors and five emperors, Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi) was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which happened in 4700 BC, that is, about 5000 years away from the Yao, Shun and Yu era, so it is said that "Shanxi is seen in five thousand years of history".
