Don't have too high expectations for the origin of Huaxia for the time being. After all, the claim of 5,000 years is only recognized in China, and only 4,000 years is recognized abroad, because there is no direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty before the Shang Dynasty (note that it is a dynasty, not the artifacts of that period), and it only exists in the documents of the Zhou Dynasty and later. That's right, the Shang Dynasty did not have any records about the Xia Dynasty. It may be that the Zhou Dynasty wanted to show its legitimacy and flatter itself, or it may be that something happened when the Shang Dynasty was established that caused history to be erased, or it may simply be that it was not found. However, since there is no evidence, it is normal that it is not recognized. Therefore, the Chinese civilization recognized in world history (based on the dynasty, that is, the systematic national system.asxs., before the tribes and so on are not counted, that is part of human civilization) is only 4,000 years (actually more than 3,600 years), which is no match for ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon. It will not be too late to brag when the Xia Dynasty is recognized.
Among the four ancient civilizations in the world, Egypt ranks first (more than 6,000 years), followed by Babylon (more than 5,000 years), India (5,000 years), and finally Chinese civilization (more than 4,000 years (including the Xia Dynasty)). There are also claims that Chinese civilization is more than 3,500 years old (excluding the Xia Dynasty). There are four criteria for judgment: (1) there is a systematic writing system; (2) there are bronze ware (including production tools and weapons); (3) there are cities; (4) there are temples (large religious buildings). Without evidence, it can only be regarded as a myth.
As for why Egypt is the oldest, but it lists Shining as the oldest hero of mankind, it's because the previous ones are too old and not widely circulated, while Shining is praised by someone in an epic written on clay tablets. When Mushroom wrote it, he was also very clear that he was the first hero king to be praised. No one helped to praise him, and ancient heroes such as Menes (seemingly the earliest pharaoh of Egypt), Enmerkar, and Lugalbanda (one is the father of Shining, the other is the grandfather of Shining) were also helpless - of course, the original text of human civilization and the treasure of the king are released by Mushroom fans. There are many people who are better than Shining in collection, because Mushroom and Old Urobuchi are both fans of Shining? They are the author and copyright holders. If you don't agree, you can only send knives or PK with real people.
I know that some readers will be unhappy, and I am not happy either, but facts are facts, and we should not question the standards of world history. There is no problem with that. We should always have evidence for everything, and we cannot just brag, right? At least as far as I know, a group of historians have been digging in the Yellow River Basin for many years, just to find direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty. Moreover, no matter whether the history is four thousand years or five thousand years, the fire of Chinese civilization has not been extinguished, which is different from those interrupted in India and Egypt, and is much better than the unfortunate Babylon that was destroyed. As far as I am concerned, I am proud to be born in a flower-growing country in this life, and I hope to continue to be born in a flower-growing country in the next life.
