In the vast land of China, Henan, with its rich historical and cultural heritage, has become the core area for exploring the taproot of Chinese civilization. The distribution density of large ruins such as ancient settlements, capital ruins, and imperial tombs here has attracted the attention of the world, and the total number ranks first in the country. They not only carry rich historical information and cultural connotations, but also are the link between Henan and ancient civilizations.
The great ruins of Henan, like bright stars, are dotted on the ancient land. They have the characteristics of concentrated overall contiguity, continuous era, rich connotation, diverse forms, overlapping ancient and modern cities, and deep underground. In order to "live" these heritages displayed on the vast land, various parts of Henan have explored their own unique protection and utilization models according to local conditions. Zhengzhou's "ecological heritage" project and Luoyang's "building a new city away from the old city" protection model of large ruins are all respects and inheritances of the profound culture of this land.
