The Liangzhu culture is an important Neolithic culture in the lower Yangtze River region of mainland China, existing in 3300 BC ---- 2300 BC. It's been at least 6,000 years. Liangzhu culture is famous for its exquisitely carved jade objects, which have long been recognized by the world.
One of the definitions of civilization in modern archaeology is to see whether there is writing, and there are some abstract ornamental symbols on Liangzhu jade and pottery, which are also considered by experts to be ancient texts.
Therefore, Liangzhu culture has entered a civilized society. A large number of cultural relics have been excavated from the numerous sites in Liangzhu, which have long proved that the Chinese nation was already an ancient civilization more than 5,000 years ago. On 6 July 2019, the Liangzhu site in China was inscribed on the World Heritage List.

Some people think that the Liangzhu civilization has no writing, that is their loneliness, look at the original text of the inner circle on the jade chun below and then come out to express their opinions.

These original scripts are somewhat similar to seal books, much more complex than the simple alphabetic scripts of the West.
If there are still people who do not recognize the five-thousand-year history of Chinese civilization, then these people are really sad and ignorant. I think there are three reasons why these people do not recognize the five-thousand-year history of civilization on the continent.
First, the pedantic concept of orthodox Chinese civilization in the Central Plains is at work
In the past, there were many archaeological discoveries and important cultural relics on the mainland, most of which were found in the Central Plains, such as many Yangshao cultural sites and Anyang Yin Ruins. Therefore, the archaeological community believes that the birthplace of Chinese civilization is in the Central Plains, and when there are archaeological discoveries in other places, their first thought is whether these cultural relics originated in the Central Plains, whether there is any connection with the Central Plains, and even sometimes they will preconceived and far-fetched the conclusion that "originated in the Central Plains". For a long time, the concept of Chinese civilization taking the Central Plains as the orthodox has also been formed in the minds of the people.
In the minds of these people, when good things have been unearthed in other regions, if they have nothing to do with the Central Plains, they do not think that these are Chinese things. They had to find a written one in the Central Plains, and it was only 5,000 years ago that the culture could recognize the five-thousand-year history of Chinese civilization. Such a pedantic idea is really not advisable.

Second, there is no confidence in one's own nation
These people have a sublime plot, believing that both foreign and foreign things are better than their own countries. The same is true in archaeology, once some good things have been unearthed, they generally do not and are unwilling to admit that these good things are left by their ancestors. They will say that this is from the West and abroad, and some people will even say with a big brain, "This is left by aliens." Take the Sanxingdui culture, when they see the strange human masks of Sanxingdui, some people say that it came from Egypt, and even said that it was created by an alien civilization.
These people have no confidence in their own nation, believing that the old ancestors are more backward, and the old ancestors cannot create such a good thing. So it is impossible to expect them to acknowledge that China has a history of five or six thousand years of civilization.

Third, the deliberate demeaning and smearing of external hostile forces
The infiltration of external hostile forces in the cultural field is widespread, and they are constantly smearing and belittling our culture. In a vain attempt to make us forget history, abandon traditional culture, and accept their enslaved education ideologically. China's civilization history of at least five thousand years is something that they cannot accept in their arrogant hearts, so they have been denying and devaluing and smearing.
In fact, it is an indisputable fact that the Chinese nation has a history of civilization of five or six thousand years, and it is not important for them to admit it or not, what is important is that we ourselves must have cultural self-confidence! Ancient China has always been the king of the world, and the current rise is not something that any force can stop!
