(Author's note: According to "History of World Civilization" (William McGaughey, USA),
"Old Babylon (between 4000 BC and 2250 BC), ancient Egypt (3500 BC to 600 BC), ancient India (2500 BC), China (1600 BC), ancient Greece
(2000 BC to 146 BC) is the birthplace of the world’s five major civilizations.”
This is the statement most recognized by academic circles.
In other words, China is indeed the birthplace of a great civilization, but it is not the earliest one.
The ancient Babylonian civilization evolved through history and became the origin of other civilizations. It did not disappear, but evolved.[
And Chinese culture has almost disappeared.
Mr. Liang Qichao's statement about the four ancient civilizations may be the same as the theory of Young China in that he wanted to arouse the self-confidence and will of the Chinese people; in that era, it was understandable.
But it was evolved by later generations and lost its form.
Of course, counting from 1600 BC (it was the Shang Dynasty at that time, which was early enough), Chinese civilization only lasted less than four thousand years;
Five thousand years of civilization cannot actually be tested. The history of the Xia Dynasty was probably burned by Qin Shihuang. This bad guy, drag him out and give him a beating!)
Haha, I don’t know why I think of so many things on the streets of a foreign country.
But Italy, apart from handsome guys, does have a lot worth pondering, really.
Walking into Europe, I tasted the different and profound cultural heritage, which was very moving.
I am not a pseudo-patriot, nor a historian, nor an archaeologist, nor a litterateur;
I'm just an ordinary Chinese, a Chinese who doesn't know how to look at himself,
Because no one around me has ever told me about my true self. Everyone taught me how to mask and pretend...it's not my fault.
At this moment, I hope to capture the true cultural essence and savor it carefully to facilitate future judgment.
China always feels that it is a big country with a large area and large population
