1. Chinese culture, also known as Chinese civilization. It is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and the longest lasting civilization in the world. It is often called one of the four ancient civilizations in the world.
2. Chinese characters are one of the oldest writing systems in the world, with a history of more than 4,500 years. It is one of the three oldest writing systems in the world. Among them, the ancient Egyptian holy book characters and the cuneiform characters of the Sumerians in the Mesopotamia have been lost, and only Chinese characters are still in use today.
3. China is one of the birthplaces of early human civilization in the world. It is one of the first areas in the world to use fire, invent bows and arrows and pottery, develop agriculture and animal husbandry, observe astronomy, and create medicine.
4. The Xia Dynasty invented the chronology of stems and branches, and the decimal system appeared. The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty used a standard watch to measure the shadow of the sun to determine the seasons; in the Spring and Autumn Period, the twenty-eight constellations were determined; in the later period, the ancient four-quarter calendar, traditional Chinese medicine, decimal value system, equatorial coordinate system, woodblock printing, papermaking, movable type printing, etc. were produced. Gunpowder, compass, porcelain, silk, metal smelting, and intensive cultivation.
5. China is an ancient country of mathematics. "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" and "Nine Chapters on Mathematics" handed down from ancient China are ancient mathematics masterpieces. Countries in the ancient world used to have a variety of decimal systems such as ten, twelve, twenty, sixty and so on. Now they use the decimal value system uniformly. Wang Yusheng said that China is the first country in the world to adopt the decimal system and has an extremely important position in the history of world mathematics. The unearthed oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang dynasties already contain the combined characters of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand to count. The largest number is more than 20,000. The number of enemies annihilated and captured during the war, as well as the number of cattle and sheep, were recorded. The decimal value system that was later developed into arithmetic and abacus was a revolutionary invention for counting and calculation, and it is still used today.
6. China is also an ancient country of astronomy. China is the first country in the world to have written records of sunspots, Halley's Comet, supernovae and other celestial phenomena. The equatorial coordinates used in ancient Chinese astronomical calculations have been adopted by modern astronomy. China has become the first country in the world to adopt equatorial coordinates. When ancient astronomers performed astronomical calculations, they determined the coordinate system based on the equatorial plane of the earth's rotation and the ecliptic plane of the revolution. Ancient Chinese astronomical calculations used equatorial coordinates and studied the movements of the sun, moon, and five stars based on the equator. According to the zodiac coordinates, there are the so-called zodiac signs, which are two different coordinate systems. The existing ancient observation instruments in China, such as the various observatories with dragons and phoenixes attached to them at the Ancient Observatory in Beijing, all use equatorial coordinates. Modern astronomical research has proven that equatorial coordinates are superior to ecliptic coordinates, and modern astronomy has replaced the ecliptic coordinate system with the equatorial coordinate system.

8. China's maritime history is the first in the world
Zheng He once reached Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Zhenwa, Kuri, Siam, Adang, Tianfang, Dhofar, and Khrumos , Mugu Dushu and other more than 30 countries, reaching as far as the east coast of Africa, the Red Sea, Mecca, and possibly Australia. These records represent the peak of China's navigation exploration, more than 80 years earlier than Western explorers such as Vasco da Gama and Columbus. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was ahead of the West in the same period in terms of navigation technology, fleet size, voyage distance, duration, and areas involved.

Our country has so much splendid history, do you know? I believe that after reading my article, you can’t help but be amazed! Yes, as a Chinese nation and a descendant of Yan and Huang, I can’t help but feel proud. But these brilliance only represent the yesterday of our country, it has passed.
Today, we Chinese are creating new history again:
In the men's 110-meter hurdles competition held in Lausanne, Switzerland on the evening of July 11, Chinese player Liu Xiang won the championship with a time of 12.88 seconds. This broke the world record of 12.91 seconds held by British star Colin 6.1 Jackson for nearly 13 years. For a time, Liu Xiang undoubtedly became the superstar of the 2006 Lausanne Athletics Super Grand Prix in Switzerland. If in the men's 110-meter hurdles race at the Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang tied the British star Colin Jackson's 11-year-old world record with a time of 12.91 seconds, and they were evenly matched, then, Today, two years later, it can be said that "the hero stepped on the hero".
Liu Xiang, a yellow man with black hair and yellow skin, conquers the world again
