Yangshao culture was around 7000-5000 years ago、A Neolithic culture developed around the middle reaches of the Yellow River，It is also the largest in the country、The core culture with the most far-reaching influence。Yangshao culture is the most beautiful scenery in the early bet365 bonus bets cultural circle，Laid an important material foundation for the formation of bet365 bonus bets civilization。

The discovery and research process of Yangshao culture，It also reflects from the side the exploration of the origins of modern bet365 bonus bets archeology、Revealing the development of bet365 bonus bets civilization and its glorious achievements over the past century。After several generations of archaeological scholars’ continuous struggle，my country’s archaeological work has achieved a series of major discoveries and research results over the past century。

　1. bet365 bonus bets people evolved continuously from the local people

Our country has discovered Homo erectus dating back 2 million years ago、Early Homo sapiens、More than 70 fossil sites of late Homo sapiens，Nearly 2,000 Paleolithic cultural sites。These findings come from human activities、Human Fossils、Three aspects of evidence including ancient DNA，Indicates that China’s Paleolithic culture has its own system，Continuous、Develop independently，The evolutionary chain of human beings basically follows one another，Provides a solid archaeological basis for the theory of "continuous evolution with hybridization" proposed by bet365 bonus bets scholars regarding the local evolution of humans in China and East Asia。

　2. bet365 bonus bets is the origin of millet and rice agriculture in the world

The world’s earliest millet was unearthed from the Donghulin site in Beijing；The world’s earliest millet was discovered at the Xinglonggou site in Aohan, Inner Mongolia；Up the mountain in Pujiang, Zhejiang、Remains of rice dating back 10,000 years were discovered at the Yuchanyan site in Dao County, Hunan。Pengtoushan, Li County, Hunan，Crossing the Lake Bridge in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang、Xiaohuangshan Mountain in Shengzhou，The plant remains unearthed from the Jiahu site in Wuyang, Henan Province，About 8,000 years ago, China had initially formed an agricultural economic pattern of "rice in the south and millet in the north"，Laid a solid foundation for the birth of bet365 bonus bets civilization of more than 5,000 years。

　　3.bet365 bonus bets civilization has a continuous history of more than 5,000 years

Around 5300 years ago，The Yangtze River Basin represented by Liangzhu Culture、The Yellow River Basin represented by Yangshao Culture and the Xiliao River Basin represented by Hongshan Culture developed rapidly，Started the civilization process，Close interaction among regions，Form a cultural community called the "China Interaction Circle"，bet365 bonus bets civilization was formed from this。About 4300 years ago，The ancient kingdoms in the Yangtze River and Xiliao River basins gradually declined，And the middle reaches of the Yellow River began to rise，Shanxi Taosi、Super large city ruins appear in Shimao and other sites in Shaanxi，In the competitive development and fierce collision of civilizations in various regions，The hinterland of the Central Plains finally rises，The development of bet365 bonus bets civilization has entered a new stage。

　4. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties created a unified dynastic bet365 bonus bets

In the process of exploring the Xia and Shang Dynasties，Archaeology played a decisive role。A palace city of 100,000 square meters was discovered at the Erlitou site in Yanshi, Henan，Is the earliest confirmed dynasty capital site in China so far，Possibly a city in the late Xia Dynasty。The oracle bone inscriptions and other archaeological remains unearthed from the Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan Province are mutually confirmed by the documentary records，Making the history of the Shang Dynasty a credible history。"Huanbei Mall" on the north bank of Huanhe River，It may be another capital before Shang King Pan Geng moved to Yin。Panlong City in Huangpi, Hubei、Discoveries represented by Sanxingdui in Guanghan, Sichuan，Reveals the politics of the Central Plains and surrounding areas centered on the Xia and Shang Dynasties、Cultural Relations，Profoundly proves the "diversity and unity" of bet365 bonus bets culture since ancient times。

The Western Zhou Dynasty is an important development stage of dynastic civilization。Zhouyuan ruins in Fufeng and Qishan, Shaanxi，Discovered a noble residential area、Burial Area、Social Sacrifice Building、Workshop、Cellar and water conservancy facilities, etc.。The archaeological discoveries bet365 bonus bets vassal states bet365 bonus bets Zhou Dynasty are most representative bet365 bonus bets noble cemetery of Zeng State in Suizhou, Hubei，Proven the history of Zeng State that is not recorded in documents。

5. Qin and Han bet365 bonus bets began the historical process of unifying multi-ethnic countries

The grand historical process of Qin, Han and beyond，It is reflected bet365 bonus bets system construction、Effective jurisdiction over border areas、Peaceful exchanges with neighboring countries, etc.。

Planning and construction of the capital，Reflects the political system of the central dynasty。Chang'an City of the Western Han Dynasty、Yecheng of Cao Wei、Luoyang City of Northern Wei Dynasty、Sui Daxing City、Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty，The planning of ancient bet365 bonus bets capitals has been developing through inheritance and innovation。To Beijing City in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties，Miyagi based on central axis symmetry、Imperial City、The pattern of Guocheng has never changed。Emperor’s tombs formed an important part of the political system of past dynasties，From the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang、Yangling Mausoleum of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty、Jiangxi Haihunhou Tomb，To Luoyang Jingling、Tang Dynasty Guanzhong Eighteen Tombs Cemetery，Go to the Liaozu Mausoleum and so on，All reflect the continuity of the imperial tomb system after Qin and Han Dynasties。

The consolidation and development of a unified multi-ethnic country has inherent logic，Also requires strong maintenance。The Silk Road as a channel for trade and cultural exchange，All dynasties of the Central Plains have tried their best to maintain its smooth flow and safety。The Shule City of the Han Dynasty that has been found so far、Slips and slips and a large number of cultural relics unearthed from the Beiting Duhufu site in the Tang Dynasty and the Yakekuduk beacon site in Yuli, Xinjiang，Both are historical witnesses of the unified multi-ethnic country。Since Qin and Han Dynasties，The consciousness of unifying a multi-ethnic country is reflected in the national system，It also penetrates deeply into the culture of the bet365 bonus bets nation，Maintaining the unity and integrity of multi-ethnic countries has become the trend of every era。

In short，100 years of archaeological practice have not only completely reconstructed bet365 bonus bets prehistory，It also greatly enriched and improved the history of China in the historical era since the beginning of literature。

After 100 years of development，bet365 bonus bets archeology ushered in a golden age。We must conscientiously implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech，In accordance with General Secretary Xi Jinping’s requirements for doing archaeological and historical research work，Firmly establish awareness of the overall situation，Study seriously、Systematic reflection on the achievements of archeology and its significant social and political significance to national development；Strengthening the construction of archaeological disciplines，Discover new perspectives from the great changes in contemporary China，Constructing a new theory；Carry out in-depth multi-disciplinary integrated development，Guide to break down discipline barriers，Make archaeological research play a greater value and role；Strengthening exchanges and comparative studies on mutual learning among civilizations，Carry out archaeological excavations and research abroad in an orderly manner，Promote my country’s transformation from an archaeological power to an archaeological power，Further use of archeology to enhance cultural confidence、Unique role in inheriting bet365 bonus bets civilization，Further enhance the international influence of bet365 bonus bets archeology。Accelerate the construction of discipline system、Academic system、Discourse system，Strive to build bet365 bonus bets characteristics、bet365 bonus bets style、bet365 bonus bets style archeology，Bringing bet365 bonus bets archaeological research to a higher level in the next century，Achieve more brilliant results。
