　　Author Kan Li Liu Peng

　　"The ancient Chinese civilization is the only ancient civilization without fracture in the world, and it can be considered as the longest time." During the continuous discovery of Yangshao culture and the 100th anniversary of the birth of modern Chinese archaeology, Liu Qingzhu, member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences accepted Sino-Singaporean In an interview, the reporter explained the above point of view, "This shows that it is adaptable and scientific."

　　In the late autumn of 1921, the Swedish scholar Anderson and others conducted the first archaeological excavation in Yangshao Village, Sanmenxia.

This shovel has awakened the remains of Yangshao culture that has been sleeping for thousands of years, and the credibility of Chinese history has been strengthened step by step.

Over the past 100 years, Chinese archaeologists have unearthed Chinese civilization that has been unbroken for more than 5,000 years with one shovel, which strongly refutes the theory that Chinese culture is “from the west”.

　　The ancient civilizations of the world have different lengths of time.

In order to explore the depth, Liu Qingzhu's footprints have spread throughout the birthplaces of several ancient civilizations over the years.

　　In his view, the unbroken ancient civilizations are inherited in one continuous line. The longer a kind of testament and a kind of thought lasts, the more adaptable and scientific it is. "If everyone agrees to understand human history, , The ancient Chinese civilization that has not broken for more than 5,000 years has the longest time."

　　Why didn't the ancient Chinese civilization break?

Liu Qingzhu explained that the East Asian civilization represented by China is the supremacy of the state and has a unified national identity, while the West has a dual social structure of religion and politics.

　　In addition, the Chinese have a strong sense of ancestry and a high degree of identification with the ancestor of humanities, the Yellow Emperor.

For example, in the Qing Dynasty emperor’s temple, the three emperors and five emperors and later emperors were enshrined. Liu Qingzhu said, “The new dynasty was established on the basis of overthrowing the old dynasty. It is reasonable to say that the upper and lower dynasties should be incompatible with fire and water, but this is not the case in China. The orthodox idea of ​​repairing tombs for previous emperors maintains the country’s continuity."

　　It is the identity of the country, the identity of the culture, and the identity of the same structure of the family and the country that have allowed the continuation of the ancient Chinese civilization.

　　The same structure of family and country is a distinctive feature of the patriarchal society, which has continued to this day in China. How do we view this feature?

　　Liu Qingzhu explained that from a metaphysical point of view, it is called "filial piety" at home and "loyalty" in the country. From a metaphysical point of view, like a courtyard in Beijing, it highlights a "zhong". It is the residence of juniors.

Another example is the relationship between "country" and "national". In China, "people" and "national" are connected, which can be seen in cultural and artistic works.

Dramas such as "Mulan" and "Mu Guiying in Command" all talk about the relationship between family and country.

　　These concepts have formed a kind of dignity in China. Liu Qingzhu believes that this kind of dignity is good for the stability and inheritance of the political system.

But he also believes that "this is also a constraint, and how to balance the pros and cons requires more consideration."

　　Liu Qingzhu said that the ideology of the supremacy of the state, the continuation of the pattern of pluralism and the identity of social characteristics and many other factors have made China the only major eastern country in the world that has not interrupted its ancient civilization.
