The excavation of Nanzhao Ape Man in September 1978 shows that humans lived and multiplied in the Central Plains 500000 years ago.
Excavation representatives in 2007 Paleolithic Age The "Xuchang people" of the "Xuchang people" show that the ancient people who lived 80000-100000 years ago had made good use of stone tools, and found for the first time in China the dental buttons, needles and dyes used by the ancestors to make clothes 15000 years ago Ochre (pigment) and other clothing relics.
In 1980, in Henan Xinghua Mountain It was excavated around 130000 years ago Paleolithic The late ape man used and managed fire Cave site [60]

The excavation of a number of sites roughly equivalent to the era of the Yellow Emperor in Zhengzhou also fully supports Literature pair Records of the Five Emperors in Central Plains ". [61]
The middle and late Neolithic and ancient civilizations in various regions, including the Central Plains, made different contributions to the origin and early development of Chinese civilization, whether big or small, early or late, strong or weak, long or temporary, However, some characteristics of the early culture in the Central Plains represented by the Wuyang Jiahu Culture and the Yangshao Culture Miaodigou type were not only inherited by the later Shang and Zhou civilizations and later Chinese civilizations, but also unique compared with other civilizations in the world. These characteristics of the Central Plains may have been gradually formed since the late Paleolithic Age, because of its central location advantage, which can easily accept people from all directions and various fresh cultural factors. [69] Central Plains Theocracy Beliefs have always been underdeveloped, while witchcraft and theocracy beliefs in surrounding areas have generally been very prosperous. From late Yangshao era to Henan Longshan Culture During this period, the development of ancient culture really entered a relatively dark stage. And the ancient Hongshan country Lingjiatan Ancient countries Liangzhu Ancient Country , Shimao Ancient Country and Tao Temple Compared with the quasi kingdom, the development of the Central Plains in this period was relatively lagging behind. There are various reasons for this, but the underdeveloped belief in theocracy may be one of the important reasons. People's secular needs are generally relatively mild, and only irrational belief in theocracy can "stimulate" people's creativity to the greatest extent. For example, all kinds of large-scale artificial ceremonial buildings, exquisite jade ritual vessel systems and large-scale funeral facilities in the aforementioned ancient countries are the result of the flourishing belief in theocracy. The Central Plains paid more attention to secular affairs, and the theocracy was controlled at a moderate level, which made the progress of its civilization origin relatively slow and would take a long time Chieftain-state or military democracy Phase.

Civilization communication

In the history of the Chinese nation, the Central Plains ancient civilization It is also the birthplace of ancient China population distribution Where the center of gravity is. [41]
Anyang Oracle
Chinese Civilization Its origin is in the Central Plains, that is, the middle reaches of the Yellow River and the present Henan Province. This zone is located in the center of east, west, north and south infiltration, which makes it superior to other regions in terms of adsorption and diffusion. The Central Plains is also a region where wars and disasters are most concentrated in Chinese history control power , chasing the Central Plains. At different times in history, a large number of people in the Central Plains moved to other places to escape the war, which greatly promoted the development of many places and the spread of Chinese civilization. Therefore, it is the Central Plains in a broad sense that is directly adjacent to the origin of Chinese civilization. along with Chinese culture Expanding from the source to the surroundings Qin and Han Dynasties Later, the Chinese cultural circle gradually became clear and stereotyped. In the early days, Central Plains Culture The northward and westward expansion was relatively smooth, and later passed the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty ethnic minority The established dynasties further brought them into the Chinese cultural circle. When the Central Plains culture spread southward in the early days, it encountered strong resistance, such as King Zhao of Zhou The failure of the war against Chu shows that Zhou Culture The setbacks encountered in spreading southward. Chinese culture It also radiates to some of China's close neighbors, North Korea and Japan in the northeast, Mongolia in the north, and Central Asia , Southern Southeast Asia These places constitute the periphery of the Chinese cultural circle. [42]

Migrants from Central Plains

Central Plains Culture The radiation to the outer edge of the Central Plains cultural circle is also related to immigration. For example, when it comes to the influence of Han culture on Korea and Japan, it involves the legendary Dustpan and Xu Fu After Korean Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula A large number of Chinese immigrants have been migrating to other countries without interruption, which has extended the Chinese civilization to all corners of the world. It is not difficult to find out from the process of the expansion of the Chinese cultural circle: immigrants' influence on cultural exchanges, cultural diffusion Cultural communication It has an important impact. [42] from Yongjia Rebellion Later, "I went south in my clothes, Jiangzuo Overseas Chinese establish prefectures and counties, and there is no mulberry. " [43] The refugees from Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces in Huaibei have successively crossed Huaihe River Yangtze River move south. According to the current location, the largest number of immigrants are Jiangsu Province , in today's Nanjing Zhenjiang Changzhou is the most concentrated area, while in northern Jiangsu Yangzhou , Huaiyin and other places. [42]
Chinese history On Population migration , based on the Central Plains Han nationality The southward migration has the largest scale and the greatest impact. The first large-scale southward migration started from Western Jin Dynasty Yongjia period lasted until the Southern Dynasty. The second wave of southward migration began in the middle of the Tang Dynasty“ An Shi Rebellion ”。 In 1126 AD, the Jin army captured Kaifeng, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished“ Jingkang Rebellion ”。 This war led to the third large-scale southward migration of people in the Central Plains. The migration process of residents in the Central Plains to other regions is often advanced Economic culture Of Communication process A large number of immigrants not only bring sufficient labor force to the immigrants, but also bring advanced Production technology And experience have greatly improved the local productivity. [62]
Although China is not necessarily a virtual "immigrant society", as Chen Chunsheng said, many families' immigration histories are forged. The legends of ancestors and immigrants in the border areas mostly describe themselves as coming from the Central Plains with a long history. The immigration legends in the hinterland have different characteristics, and they have no motivation to shape the identity of the Central Plains. In the Central Plains society, the population classification is different from that of the border areas (in fact, in the earlier historical stage, the same is true when these areas are not necessarily in the heartland). The latter can be divided into "internal" and "external" groups according to dialects, beliefs, livelihood patterns, etc., or called "household Qi people" and "undocumented people", that is, "Han" and "Yi"; But in the former, there is basically no such distinction: everyone is a "native", all are registered people, and even Mandarin, which replaces dialect, is very popular. The immigration legends in the border areas have been discussed in depth. These legends often take a place in the Central Plains as their hometown, aiming to establish some orthodox identity. The legend of Shibi Village in Ninghua, Hakka, also has a premise of Central Plains identity, which forms the regional identity of various mountain development groups around the Nanling Mountains. During the period of boundary moving and boundary restoring during the reign of Kangxi, people who spoke Fulao dialect in the coastal areas first entered the Hakka mountains, and then people with different dialects moved into the plains and coastal areas. Then a large number of clans were built. In many genealogies, the story of ancestors moving from the Central Plains to Ninghua Shibi, and then moving to their current residence appeared. It was not until the armed struggle between Tujia and Hakka in Xiantong, the rise of cities in the late Qing Dynasty, and the spread of evolutionism that Hakka in the sense of "modern race" was created. Before the late Ming Dynasty, there was no such ethnic group classification as "Hakka" or "Hakka". This group, later called "Hakka", like Yao and She, was an aborigine living in the Nanling Mountains. The legend of Nanxiong Zhuji Lane is widely spread in the Pearl River Delta region. Many places here believe that their ancestors migrated from Nanxiong Zhuji Lane. In order to obtain legal identity, local aborigines and untouchables tried every means to hope that the government would include them in their household registration, so they adopted the statement that Nanxiong Zhuji Lane moved here to prove their identity in the Central Plains and their legitimacy. [68]

Immigration to Central Plains

When the Central Plains emigrated to the outside world, it was accompanied by the arrival of immigrants. These immigrants included merchants from overseas, foreign invasion and other nationalities. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, imperial subjects and China almost became synonym , at least in the concept of rulers and historical writers. Accept the rule of the Chinese Empire, "added by the five policies and supported by the seven fu"( Yang Xiong Legalism 》)Is recognized as "Chinese", and Xu Shen In Shuowen, it was claimed that "Xia is the Chinese", which reflects the understanding of Han people on the concept of "Huaxia" and "Chinese". As time went by, those "alien" new to the rule of the Chinese Empire, both inside and outside the border, gradually gained recognition of imperial rule by paying rent, undertaking conscription and military service, and even becoming officials, and internalized the Chinese Empire from an external political identity to a psychological one Self identification [57]
1. After the Han Dynasty, ethnic minorities entered the Central Plains from time to time and merged into the Han nationality on a large scale. three countries In the later period, due to the sharp decline of the population in the Central Plains, the Wei and Jin Dynasties continued to "appease" five nomadic northern tribes ”。 Western Jin Dynasty“ Rebellion of the Eight Kings ”Later, the total population of the north was 15 million, with Han people accounting for one third. [58] Yongjia Rebellion After the great migration of northern minorities, the situation of mixed residence of Hu and Han in the Central Plains was caused. The deepest impact is Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty The capital was moved to Luoyang. A series of reforms he carried out Xianbei The measures of the old customs are aimed at consolidating Northern Wei Dynasty Political power, but objectively promoted xianbei Integration with Han people in Central Plains.
2. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the economy in the Central Plains was developed, and there were numerous merchants Birdsong All the countries will follow the trend of the sun and arrive after a long journey. " [44] The Central Plains is incomparable Inclusion Mongolia, Uygur Hui nationality As well as the integration of Jurchen, Khitan and Dangxiang people, minorities in the northwest and foreigners in Central Asia, Japan and the Korean Peninsula live in Luoyang for a long time national culture The integration of Cultural development To a peak.
3、 Jin State After the extermination of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rulers of the State of Jin "considered that the central state had two or three intentions, and began to set up a garrison army, not only to stop Nvzhen, but also to the Khitan and Xi families. They moved to the central land from their own headquarters, mixed with the people, and counted on their household registration to give them official land, so that they could sow seeds to fill their mouths." [45] The migration of Nuzhen people, especially Jin Xuanzong Relocation of the capital due to the oppression of the Mongols Bianjing , Nuzhen people and Han people live in a mixed house, and they are married to each other, and they use Han surname , advocating Confucianism, and the national characteristics of Nuzhen people have gradually lost. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty listed Nuzhen people, Han people and Khitan people as Han people with the same political treatment, which objectively eliminated the national boundaries between Nuzhen people and Han people, and promoted Nuzhen people to become more Chinese.
4. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty Mongolian nobility And the cruel exploitation and oppression of peasants by feudal landlords, class contradictions And National contradiction The plague of flood and drought locusts has become increasingly intense, and natural and man-made disasters have made Henan, Shandong, Hebei Northern Anhui Central Plains areas such as "all roads are blocked and people are cut off", [46] "To make Henan, Shandong Northern Jiangsu People in northern Anhui perished in ten years [46] "Most of them are uninhabited" [47] Zhu Yuanzhang It is well known that: "After the chaos, the Central Plains is verdant and the people are scarce. The so-called opening of fields and the increase of household registration are the urgent affairs in the Central Plains." [46] , which has determined the war path decision of resettlement and land reclamation. From Shanxi in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty Hongdong Big Pagoda Tree 10 large-scale immigrants, Yongle During the year, there were 8 immigrants, 18 in total. [46]
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang is conquering rival of Zhu Yuanzhang After that, we also started from Jiangxi Taihu Basin , Northern Shanxi and Hebei True definite Guangdong Pearl River Basin , Shandong, Suzhou, Huizhou, etc [48] , many Jiangxi Raozhou Of the migrants were resettled in Xinyang Southern Guangshan Xinxian County Luoshan , shopping malls and other counties.
