Then discuss with Mr. Wang Wei: Why the Central Plains have not been able to find the cultural relics of the Xia Dynasty so far

Mr. Wang Wei proposed that the bronze figure with the top of the kneeling belt unearthed by Sanxingdui represents the worship of the Sanxingdui civilization to the Yin shang civilization, which shows that Mr. Wang Wei has preconceived notions and the arrogance and prejudice of the Yin Shang civilization to lead his civilization. Since the historical circles all agree that Yin Shang replaced Xia, then Yin Shang must have traces of Xia. Here, I put forward a point of view, that is, so far, after countless archaeology, in the Central Plains, whether it is Erlitou, or Yin Ruins, or even somewhere else, have any traces of cultural relics of the Xia Dynasty been found? No, because the actual focus of the Xia Dynasty's rule was not in the Central Plains at all, but in the Sichuan Basin and the middle and lower Yangtze River basins. Here's why:

First, ancient and important people lived in the Sichuan Basin and the Yangtze River Basin.

From the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Records of History" and other ancient books, it can be seen that the activities of important ancient figures such as Xia Shangyu, Shun, Yao, and Houji are mostly in the Yangtze River Basin centered on the Sichuan Basin, and even the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanities, also married his wife and children in the Sichuan Basin, and he married the daughter of the Xiling Kingdom (around Yanting, Sichuan) (called Lei in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas") as his wife (Chuan Changzu was the mother of Chinese silkworm weaving), and gave birth to two sons, one called Qingyang, born in Jiangshui (Minjiang), and one named Changyi, born in Ruoshui (Yalong River). Chang Yi married a daughter of the Shushan clan, Chang Shu, and gave birth to a son Gao Yang (高阳), who was one of the Five Ancient Emperors of China. After his death, he passed the throne to Qingyang's grandson Gao Xin, who was Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao passed on the throne to his son Zhi, who in turn gave way to his brother Yao, who in turn gave way to Shun, who in turn gave way to Yu, who had made great contributions to the flood and Dingjiu Prefecture, and Yu was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and was passed down from Changyi. The Yellow Emperor was buried in Qiaoshan (the exact location is yet to be examined), where Yao was buried after his death (there are many theories), After Shun's death, he was buried in Jiuling Mountain (Hunan) on the Yangtze River, yu was buried after death in Jishan (Zhejiang), and Hou ji, an important figure of the Shun and Yu eras, was hidden in duguang (Chengdu Plain). At that time, the ancient era of the transition from primitive tribal society to slave society was extremely underdeveloped in economy and communication, so the activities of these important ancient figures recorded in the history books, especially Shunyu, were mainly concentrated in the Sichuan Basin and the Yangtze River Basin, without reflecting that their main activities were in the northern Central Plains, which logically proved that in the northern Central Plains, it was not their main activity, so it was logical that there were few or no traces of cultural relics of the Xia Dynasty.

Second, the replacement of Xia by Yin Shang is a long process.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas does not mention Yin Shang in any word, let alone Zhou, Qin, and Han, so I agree with Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty, which was originally written in the Shunyu period, but my other point of view is that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the official history book and geography book of the Shunyu period, not the Wushu Book, and its historical value is far undervalued, because the authenticity of its records has been confirmed by the archaeological excavations of Sanxingdui in Sichuan thousands of years later, and will continue to be confirmed. (See my own book "Sanxingdui Archaeology Will Retrace the History of Chinese Civilization" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" Written chronologically: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the official history book and geography book of the Shunyu era.)

So why do I say that yin shang replaced Xia is a long process, according to the "Records of History" and other historical records, the Yellow Emperor once built a simple capital at the foot of Zhuolu Mountain, but did not use much, but took officials and an army called "Yunshi" to parade around, that is, patrol the tribes, because he was the leader of the tribal alliance. The same is roughly the case in the Yao and Shun periods, because at that time there was no concept of the family country and the world, so the capital city of the Yao and Shun periods was not clear, and it may also be a simple city, far from reaching the point of building the ancient capital of Hongjian, because the Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun were all tribal alliance forms, the source of taxation was not extensive, and the financial resources could not support the construction of the capital city. In the middle and late Shun, Yu proposed to Shun the establishment of the five-service system, which was adopted by Shun, which provided strong financial and tax support for the establishment of a grand and solid capital city in the late Shun and after the establishment of Xia. Because Yu Fengshun rectified the flood, surveyed Kyushu, and made various tribes from all over the world worship, the tribes from all over the world came to make pilgrimages and offered sacrifices, rare treasures, and grain. And in this tribe, there is a Yin tribe, whose ancestor is Qi, is a descendant of Emperor Zhao, he once helped Yu zhishui, so he was sealed in The Shang Land by Shun, which is the origin of Yin Shang. According to the "Records of History", Qi arose in the yao, Shun, and Yu eras, and because of its good governance, the tribes under its jurisdiction flourished, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. From the beginning of the Qi to the beginning of Chengtang, it has gone through fourteen generations, that is, from Yao to the last generation of the Xia Dynasty, which may be hundreds of years. During this period, the capital of his tribe moved eight times, for unknown reasons, presumably due to the continuous conquest of territory and strength, and by the time of Chengtang, the capital had been set in a place called Bo prefecture (now Bozhou, Anhui). According to this analysis, with the continuous rise of Yin Shang, the siege of the city constantly threatened the ruling center of the Xia Dynasty. It was a combination of weak and strong, two strong, and most effectively overthrew the rule of the Xia Dynasty in the Jie Era, replacing the Xia Dynasty with the Yin Shang Dynasty of Chengtang, and the capital was set. After that, the descendants of Cheng tang crossed the Yellow River several times and finally established a capital in anyang and Zhengzhou, Henan, until the king of Lu was destroyed by The Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty was founded. With the extinction of the Summer Dynasty, China's political and economic center was consolidated with the migration of the Yin Shang capital to the central plains in the north, and was continuously consolidated through the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The political and economic center established by Xia in the southern Sichuan Basin and the Yangtze River Basin was also extinguished and collapsed. During this period, although there were brief three kingdoms, such as the Eastern Wu, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Chiang Family Dynasty, they were unable to return to heaven in the end, because the people's hearts had been decided and the habits had become accustomed.

Third, why is it said that the capital city of Xia is in the Sichuan Basin, which is a vast land.

The reasons are as follows: 1. The ancestors of ancient China, such as the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Huan, Yu, and Hou Ji, all had inextricable and close ties with the Sichuan Basin, or married and had children in Sichuan, or were born in Sichuan, or buried in Sichuan after death. The Sichuan Basin, especially the Chengdu Plain in the wilderness of Duguang, is even more blessed with fertile land, abundant products, and a pleasant climate, as described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. This was the best place to establish a national capital on the land of China in the ancient period, so it was natural for Shun and Yu to build a capital here. 2. From the perspective of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it writes the capital Guangzhiye, that is, the Chengdu Plain and nearby in the Hai Nei Jing and zhongshan Jing, and records in detail the yellow emperor, Dayu and other ancestors in this place to reproduce and inherit and the main deeds, but also records in detail the property style, surrounding terrain and surrounding countries, and other places are all depicted in the southeast, northwest, mountain classics, overseas classics, and great wilderness classics. Obviously, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is centered on the Chengdu Plain to observe in all directions. When the "Records of History" records Dayu, it also mentions the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and Taishi Gong obviously believes that there is a close connection between the two, but because there is no physical evidence, he does not dare to say anything. However, the bronze tree of the sun god bird excavated from Sanxingdui confirms the depiction of the sun god Sangmu in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" thousands of years ago, indicating the authenticity and credibility of the records recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". 3. At that time, Shudi and Qin Sai were not inhabited, but through the Min river and the Yangtze River waterway, they could return thousands of miles to Jiangling in one day, and Shunyu could go out of the south of the River along the Yangtze River, Shu silk could be transported out, and other items could be transported in. In the end, there will be a wealth of XiaDu, and even the sacrifices will be abundant. 4. After studying the "Records of History", the most important evidence was found in the "Yin Benji", after Cheng Tang won the Xia, he attacked the capital city of Xia, and originally wanted to move the shrine of Xia, that is, the sacrifice field, but in the end Cheng Tang did not agree to move, and made "Xia She", explaining the reasons for not being able to move, speculating that this made Sanxingdui well preserved. The excavation of Pit No. 2 in 1986 revealed a broken bronze vessel and a fragmented bronze vessel found in the recently excavated Pit No. 8 unexpectedly coincided completely, achieving the first unity in thousands of years, which also confirmed to a certain extent that the Chengtang army had begun to destroy these sacrifices, but was not completely destroyed and newly buried due to Chengtang's orders.
