The Xia Dynasty is generally considered by our country to be the beginning of China's 5,000-year history, and therefore occupies a very important position. However, no direct evidence of the Xia Dynasty has been found so far, and it is judged through records in ancient books. came out. Western countries generally believe that the excavation and excavation of cultural relics are needed to prove the existence of this dynasty. Therefore, internationally, many scholars do not fully agree with the existence of the Xia Dynasty and believe that our country's history is far less than 5,000 years old. Dinosaurs are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years away from us and everyone can find fossils, but why haven't the Xia Dynasty ruins that were more than 3,000 years ago been discovered yet? First of all, I think our search for Xia Dynasty ruins is too targeted. It is often too specific and the harder it is to find it. Just like when you are looking for something, you will feel that you can't find it, but when you don't want to find it, it just appears. This is just like dinosaur fossils. We discover fossils accidentally. Another point is that international Western countries require the existence of civilization to prove the existence of a dynasty, and they believe that the three major elements of civilization are bronzes, writing, and urban ruins. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Western countries do not have a long history and believe that these are the basis for judging the existence of a civilization. In our country, it is generally believed that the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties clearly existed. Although he has not yet found any text to prove it, he can only infer from some cultural relics and documents, but it cannot prove that it did not exist. In our country, cultural relics including stoneware, pottery, jade and other artifacts dating back nearly 3,000 years have been discovered in the Yangshao Cultural Site and Erlitou Cultural Site. Archaeologists have concluded that this is a site from the middle Xia Dynasty, and the bronze jue found there is the earliest bronze vessel in China. However, Western countries rejected its existence because there were no written records of the Xia Dynasty at the time. This is simply a bit ridiculous, because the preservation of words is far less convenient and complete than the preservation of physical ruins. What's more, people at that time didn't even have written carriers to record history. In addition, the Xia Dynasty had a relatively long history at that time. Their buildings are mainly made of wood. Moreover, the technology at that time was not as powerful as modern times, so it was more difficult to preserve cultural relics. Their territory is mainly developed along the Yellow River Basin, and if they build a capital along the river, it is very likely that they will be affected by natural disasters in the later period, and it is also possible that their culture and civilization will be scattered.
