Shangqiu is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization with a history of 5,000 years. It is an important activity area for three emperors and five emperors, such as Yanhuang, Suiren and Shennong. Both Zhuan Xu and Di Ku have established their capitals here, including the Sui People's Mausoleum, the Yandi Mausoleum and the Emperor's Mausoleum.
Shangqiu's regional civilization features are very obvious, and its civilization is profound, full of ethereal, metaphysical and profound cultural implications. It has similar characteristics and roughly the same level of civilization as Kaifeng's Song civilization. It can be said that the root of Kaifeng Song civilization lies in the migration of civilization from Shangqiu to Kaifeng.
