Venue: Tencent Conference (ID: 906927557)

Speaker: Wei Xingtao (Vice President and Researcher of Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology)

Yangshao culture is the first prehistoric culture discovered and named in China, and the excavation of the yangshao village site marks the birth of Chinese archaeology. According to existing materials, the miaodigou period in the middle of Yangshao in the junction area of Henan, Jin, and Shaanxi was developed on the basis of the early and early stages of yangshao, and was the most developed in the entire culture, and the phenomenon of social complexity occurred at the earliest, so the civilization that appeared should belong to the original civilization. The culture of yangshao in the northwest of Zhengzhou in the middle and late period was also very prosperous, and the degree of civilization was very high, and it was the most representative and influential civilization center at that time. Yangshao cultural research has achieved fruitful results, and its Chinese minghua should be its highest achievement. The in-depth discussion of issues related to civilization should be the key content of yangshao culture research in the future, and it should be the main direction for the development of new goals on the basis of the 100 years of research on this culture.

Venue: Xiaoyu ReaderShip

Guests: Li Yongjing (Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, East China Normal University), Zhang Xiaoyu (Researcher, World Politics Research Center, East China Normal University)

Modern Chinese look at Japan with a complex perspective: in some corner of our imagination, Japan is the same as ours; but in reality, Japan has many strange attributes that are difficult for us to understand, even a complex of contradictions. In fact, the same is true of modern Japanese people when they look at China: they also observe China's every move with a tangled mentality. This singularity of looking at each other's eyes is a manifestation of the special relationship between China and Japan in history. More than half a month after the end of the Olympic Games, Yipang invited Li Yongjing, a representative scholar of the new generation of Japanese studies, and Zhang Xiaoyu, a young political scientist, to share with them their observations on China and Japan over the years and their understanding of Sino-Japanese relations.

As early as 8,000 years ago, the predecessor of Yangshao culture, Pei Ligang culture, has appeared more advanced cosmology, religious view, ethics view, historical view, as well as more advanced astronomical, mathematical, symbolic, musical knowledge, etc., into the first stage of the origin of Chinese civilization. 6,000 years ago, during the Yangshao cultural temple bottom period, the ideological concepts and knowledge systems formed earlier were further developed, the society began a process of general complexity, and Yangshao culture took the lead in entering the pre-early state state and entering the second stage of the origin of Chinese civilization. More than 5,000 years ago, the Yangshao culture has officially entered the civilized society and become the core of early Chinese civilization. The society of the late Yangshao culture has the characteristics of stability and introversion, degree of life and death, importance of nobility and light wealth, orderliness and courtesy, simplicity and persistence, which can be called the "Central Plains Model" of the origin of Chinese civilization.
