Henan, the cradle of Chinese Civilization
On this amazing land, great civilizations had been created,
ranging back in time to the Peiligang culture (dating back to 8000
years), Yangshao culture (dating back to 6000 years) and Longshan
culture (dating back to 5000 years). Henan has many historical sites,
such as Taihao Grave, located in Huaiyang (a county in southeast of
Henan), which is the mausoleum of Fuxishi, the Great Ancestor of China.
And Xinzheng city is the native place of Yellow Emperor (a legendary
ruler of China in remote antiquity). There are many great and famous
people from Henan. Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, great thinkers and founders of
Taoism of the late Spring and Autumn Period, are both from Henan. The
world famous ancient scientist and astrologer Zhang Heng and the great
musician Zhu Zaiyu are also from Henan. The Chinese ancestors created a
marvelous civilization and made glorious achievements that all Chinese
take pride in.“Once being the political and economic center of the nation for centuries, Henan occupies a prominent position in the history of China. The famous ancient painting, Qingming Shanghe Painting by Zhang Zeduan, described vividly the prosperity of the flourishing capital of Song dynasty, the present-day Kaifeng” said Xu Guangchun, the former Party Secretary of the Henan Provincial Committee of CPC.
