What is Heluo culture? I come from Luoyang. Why don't I know?

Heluo culture is one of the important sources of Chinese culture, which refers to the regional culture produced in Heluo area and is the mainstream culture of the Chinese nation.

Heluo culture refers to the culture of ancient Heluo area in China. Heluo region refers to the southern bank of Tongguan-Zhengzhou section of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, Luoshui, Yishui and Songshan areas, including Dengfeng in the upper reaches of Shui Ying, generally including the area between 34 and 35 north latitude and110 east longitude, that is, today's western Henan region. Heluo area is bounded by Fangshan and Funiu Mountain in the south, the Yellow River in the north, Qinling and Guanzhong Plain in the west, Yudong Plain in the east, Youyan in the north and Jianghuai in the south. It is the "world" (historical records of Zhou Benji) and the so-called "China" (inscription of He Zun in the Western Zhou Dynasty), which is the transportation center of ancient China.

The appearance of characters is the most important sign that ancient human society entered the civilized era.

Hutuluo Book is the beginning of Chinese civilization. The Book of Changes says, "Rivers draw pictures, Luo writes books, and saints write them." The Analects of Confucius says, "If the phoenix does not arrive, the river will not draw." In the Chronicle of Bamboo Books, it is said that the Yellow Emperor built an altar in Heluo and got a book of dragons and turtles.

Taiji diagram is a natural phenomenon at the intersection of the Yellow River and Luohe River, because Taiji diagram is like a whirlpool formed by the intersection of the Yellow River and Luohe River. Through this natural phenomenon, the Terran Fuxi created Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams.

Heluo culture created by ancestors in Heluo area is the core and birthplace of Yellow River civilization represented by Central Plains culture. Heluo culture is the cradle of Chinese civilization and the main body of China's traditional culture for thousands of years, so Heluo culture occupies a very important position in the ancient cultural history of China.

The cultural accumulation in Heluo area is heavy, and famous artists come forth in large numbers. This is the birthplace of the book of Hutuluo. People who study the Book of Changes seek roots and worship their ancestors. Which one can't get to the confluence of Heluo? This is the birthplace of Shaolin Boxing, Tai Ji Chuan, Track Boxing and Qijia Boxing. People who want to learn martial arts really have nothing to ask for.

Relying on the advantages of resources, establish Heluo Forum, inherit civilization, innovate and develop!

Heluo culture is the core culture of the Chinese nation

The Chinese national culture we usually talk about now is a multi-ethnic culture with the Han nationality as the main body within the territory of China today. A large number of archaeological discoveries and ancient documents show that Huaxia culture is the mother culture of Han culture and Chinese culture. Huaxia culture mainly comes from China's early Xia-Shang culture and its more ancient Longshan culture. Years of archaeological discoveries and research have confirmed that the Longshan culture in Henan is Xia Wen.

The direct source of cultural formation. Heluo area is an important distribution area of Longshan culture in Henan Province. In this regard, Heluo area can be said to be the birthplace of Xia culture and Huaxia culture and the core area of its formation and development, and it can also be said to be the birthplace of Chinese culture and Chinese national culture in later generations.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of Oracle bones were unearthed in Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan. A group of scholars, represented by Wang Guowei, tried their best to interpret Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and proved that Yin Ruins really belonged to the capital of the late Shang Dynasty by using the "double-certificate method" combining underground unearthed cultural relics with ancient historical documents. Sima Qian's Historical Records Yin Benji is basically credible about the history of Shang Dynasty.

In 1950s, Henan archaeologists discovered Erligang Site in Zhengzhou City, belonging to the early Shang Dynasty. Decades of field archaeological work has confirmed that Erligang site is a large-scale city site in the early Shang Dynasty, including huge city walls, numerous palace building sites, important handicraft workshop sites, and some unearthed "heavy objects"-large bronze ritual vessels. This shows that this site is not an ordinary large-scale city site, but should be one of the early capital sites of Shang Dynasty. In the early 1980s, when the Institute of Archaeology of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences cooperated with the capital construction of shouyangshan Power Plant, a well-preserved early Shang Dynasty city site was discovered in Yanshi County and Tazhuang area. Since then, archaeology has discovered the ruins of Miyagi and many palace buildings, excavated the walls and scope of "small towns" and "big cities", excavated the ruins of city gates, warehouses and some handicraft sites, and cleaned up some tombs. Through in-depth, comprehensive and systematic archaeological research on these rich archaeological materials, it is proved that the site of Yanshi Mall is the same as that of Zhengzhou Mall in the early Shang Dynasty, and Yanshi Mall is still the earliest known site of Miyagi and Guo Cheng in China. The archaeological discovery and research of Zhengzhou Shopping Mall and Yanshi Shopping Mall solved the problems of the early Shang Dynasty from archaeology, and made the late Shang civilization of Anyang Yin Ruins find its source in Heluo area.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, archaeologists discovered a large architectural site in Erlitou Village, Yanshi, Henan, which was earlier than the Shang Dynasty site in Anyang and later than the Longshan culture in Henan. Later, dozens of large rammed earth building sites were discovered here, and archaeologists comprehensively excavated the first and second large building sites and other palace building sites. Research shows that this is the earliest known ancient palace building site in China. In addition, the ruins of the city wall around this large rammed earth complex were also found in Erlitou site, and the preliminary study confirmed that this is the remains of Miyagi around the palace complex. Within the scope of Erlitou site, bronze handicraft workshops, noble tombs, important bronze ritual vessels and jade articles were also found. The above archaeological findings confirm that Erlitou site, which is later than Longshan culture in Henan, is not only earlier than Yinxu site in Anyang, but also earlier than Zhengzhou Mall site and Yanshi Mall site. Accordingly, the academic circles generally believe that Erlitou culture named after Erlitou site is "Xia culture". Erlitou site is not only an important and typical "Erlitou culture" site, but also the capital site of Xia Dynasty, which is called "Xia Site" in historical documents. It is precisely because of the archaeological discovery and research of Erlitou site in Yanshi that not only the capital site in the late summer was confirmed, but also the historical position of Heluo area in the origin, formation and early development of ancient civilization in China was more prominent.

Xia and Shang Kingdom in Heluo area is an early kingdom in the ancient history of China. Within the scope of China in the same period, no kingdom had a greater and more important influence on the development of ancient history of China than Xia and Shang Dynasties. It is the key to implement the "Tracing Project" of China ancient civilization to find the archaeological culture that directly produced Xia and Shang civilizations. Field archaeology reveals that Heluo Longshan culture is the mother culture of Xia culture.

In recent years, in the study of the origin and formation of ancient civilization in China, due to the new archaeological discoveries of Liangzhu culture in Hongshan Culture, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places in western Liaoning, a multi-regional and pluralistic theory of the origin and formation of ancient civilization in China has become popular, but the key role of Heluo region in the origin and formation of ancient civilization in China has been ignored. In my opinion, archaeological culture and ancient civilization are not equal in academic concept, and the "diversity" of the origin and formation of ancient civilization cannot be deduced because of the differences of archaeological culture in different places. The development of some archaeological cultures reflects the transition from prehistoric times to "civilization", and even the formation of civilization and the emergence of a country can be seen from it. However, most archaeological cultures are "assimilated" and "melted" by advanced archaeological cultures along with the "civilization" process of social history, and a few archaeological cultures tend to be "petrified". In this regard, modern ethnological materials can provide many vivid examples. The historical path of the origin and formation of ancient civilization in China basically follows the above-mentioned historical development process. In recent years, some scholars have suggested that in the process of "civilizing" the ancient history of China, different archaeological cultures and social groups in different regions have basically entered the era of "civilizing" at the same time or slightly successively, forming a situation of "various nationalities" and "various nationalities". However, whether these "nations" and "countries" are really thousands of "countries" in the scientific sense is still a major academic topic that needs further study. As scientific common sense, these "nationalities" and "nationalities" could not have the same influence on the Chinese civilization represented by Xia and Shang Dynasties. In other words, even if the "nationalities" and "nationalities" cultures at that time had an impact on the Xia culture in Heluo area, the Xia culture and Huaxia civilization formed in Heluo area could not have been created by "civilizations" outside Heluo area. This is because the newly discovered archaeological data in recent years show that Xia culture originated from Longshan culture in Heluo area, which means that Xia culture is basically a "native" archaeological culture in Heluo area. We admit that Hongshan Culture and Liangzhu culture have played different roles in the development of archaeological culture in the Central Plains and Heluo region at the same time and later, but the source of the formation and early development of ancient civilization in Heluo region can only be Longshan culture in Henan, not Hongshan Culture or Liangzhu culture, not to mention other archaeological cultures outside the Central Plains. Therefore, we believe that from the perspective of exploring the origin of ancient civilization in China, Xia culture originated directly from Longshan culture in Heluo area; Judging from the development of China's ancient history after Xia Dynasty, Longshan culture and Xia culture in Heluo area are the core cultures that gave birth to Chinese civilization, Han culture and Han culture.
