The wisdom of the peoples of all countries is endless, and no one knows how they have built one great and incredible work after another, such as the Pyramid of Khufu, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and so on.
You know, ancient China is not the only one in this world that is an ancient civilization. Other civilizations in this world are also shining brightly. There are four major ancient civilizations in the world: ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, and ancient India, each with its own wonderful civilization history.
Ancient and mysterious Egypt
On both sides of the ancient Nile Valley, there lived one race: the Egyptian people. Egypt was divided into Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, and was ruled by two chiefs. In Egypt at that time, people survived the war every day, but they could already make simple bows and arrows and other weapons. It was not until 3150 AD that the war gradually subsided. Upper and Lower Egypt formed a unity. In that age when the strong were kings and the losers were destroyed, the strongest man rightfully became the leader of the whole of Egypt: Pharaoh.
A unified Egypt, led by Pharaoh, began to develop civilization. The Nile nourishes the Egyptian people, it helps the Egyptian people irrigate their farmland and feed this generation of people. Gradually, the civilization of ancient Egypt became more and more prosperous and prosperous. In such an increasingly prosperous country emerged one of the seven wonders that could shock the world.
Second, the emergence of pyramids
The ancient Egyptian pharaoh must have been a man who, like Qin Shi Huang during the Qin Dynasty of China, was a man who pursued eternal life. But the Egyptian pharaoh must have been more crazy than Qin Shi Huang, and he also believed that there must be a way to be reborn in this world, so a triangular building rose from the golden earth. From a distance, the majestic pyramid plunges straight into the sky and stands majestically. So the question is, how were the pyramids built in an era when there was only manpower? In fact, this problem has not been given a definite problem until now, and the problem of pyramid construction is still one of the unsolved mysteries.
However, one scholar made a more convincing hypothesis: that is, the spiral construction method. The so-called spiral construction method is to build a spiral staircase similar to modern one along the four walls, and then build a staircase on one side and cover it on the other. Such words are more in line with the ancient life without crowbars, cranes, jacks and other tools.
There are ten unsolved mysteries in the pyramid. It's like saying that there is a strange sculpture in front of the pyramid, which has two names, one called Sphinx and the other called Sphinx. Just like its name. It has the body of a lion, the face of a human. It is said that it was built by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Regidev based on his father Khufu.
Third, the mysterious power of the pyramids
The Pyramid of Khufu is the largest pyramid in the world. So do you know exactly what the pyramids are used for? The ancient Egyptian pharaohs believed in rebirth, believing that after death, the soul would return to this world through the pyramids, so the pyramids were used to store the body of the pharaohs.
There was once a legend about pharaohs: it is said that after a pharaoh was killed by his brother, his body was divided into 48 points and scattered to 48 different countries. But his wife went through great pains to find the body of Pharaoh, and then Pharaoh was reborn. This story casts another veil over the already mysterious Egypt. Since then, the Egyptian people have built pyramids as a mausoleum for pharaohs, and believe that pharaohs will be reborn when they enter the pyramids.
Not only that, but the corpses of the pharaohs of past generations were stored in the pyramids, but the corpses were not decayed for thousands of years. The tomb of the eighteenth pharaoh Tutankhamun has passed for thousands of years, and there is no trace of tomb robbery, and what terrible weapons are hidden in the pyramids. With the advancement of science and technology, the body of the pharaoh has gradually reappeared.
4. Chinese civilization
After talking about the pyramids, do you have an idea in your mind: What were our ancestors doing when the Egyptians built the pyramids? You may not believe it when you say it.
The pyramids should have appeared from 2700 to 2500 BC, and according to this time period, China was not completely devoid of cultural development. Consulting ancient Chinese historical books found that China was in the period of rule of the YanDi and the Yellow Emperor, commonly known as the Yanhuang period.
Emperor Yan, also known as Shennong. After tasting hundreds of herbs, Shennong discovered edible plants and taught people to grow crops. Later, the Yandi tribe invented tools and gradually led people from a primitive society of slash-and-burn farming to an agricultural civilization.
The stories of Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang and Xuan You must also be familiar to Chinese people. The Yandi tribe and the Jiuli tribe went to war over a piece of land. Xuan You led the Jiuli clan to defeat Emperor Yan, so Emperor Yan asked the Yellow Emperor for help. The two tribes united to attack Xuanyu and eventually defeated him. After the defeat of the Jiuli clan, some of them fled, and the other part belonged to the Yellow Emperor clan.
Later, Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor clashed again, Emperor Yan was unable to defeat the Yellow Emperor, and the Yan Emperor's clan was classified as the Yellow Emperor. Since then, the Yan and Huang ethnic groups have settled in the Yellow River Valley, multiplied and flourished, and finally formed a race: the Chinese people. So Chinese people have a very domineering and mysterious name: Yanhuang Descendants.
However, compared with other civilizations, China's period did not have any substantial creation. There are no ancient books that can prove what outstanding deeds happened during that period, and there are no architectural works worth celebrating. Even the Yanhuang period is only a few introductions in the history of the wild.
At that time, China was not as developed as Egypt, and it is undeniable that China did have cultural development at that time, but it was only a little slower than Egypt. China's development at that time was not so prominent, but it was enough for Chinese.
5. Summary
Chinese culture has a long history. This sentence has been heard since childhood, China has a long history, and is one of the four major ancient civilizations in the world. In fact, whether in the past or now, whenever I think of myself as a Chinese and I am a descendant of Yan Huang, I have a sense of pride. Although China's cultural development is relatively slow, we must be confident in our own country's culture, and cultural self-confidence is not a bad thing.
Good cultures are produced in collisions with each other, and the cultures of various countries must be integrated with each other to create new cultures. Although we are not the first civilization in the world to emerge, it is enough that we will eventually create a more developed, better, and more prosperous civilization.
