Damn, Zhou Jian cursed in his heart, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Linda, but consulted the lobby manager about the auction of jewelry, and the reply was that the manager of the underground exchange would come over in half an hour.

At this time, Linda began to chatter about Zhou Jian again, that is, she read various history books of China, and she still couldn't figure out how Huaxia calculated the splendid history of civilization with 5,000 years.

Regarding this question, Zhou Jian also felt that his head was big, and he was impatient to be entangled by Linda, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "It was more than 4,000 years ago to the Xia Dynasty, plus the section from the Yellow Emperor to Dayu is also a few hundred years, rounding it up, almost 5,000 years." ”

"Rounding? God, history is rigorous. ”

"Please, there was no writing handed down at that time, the age was all speculated, and it was not rigorous if you wanted to, and the upper limit of 3500 BC of the ancient Egyptian civilization was also calculated. Anyway, there was nothing to do in the past half an hour, and Zhou Jian discussed this topic with Linda again that had been discussed for a long time in the taxi.

"Well, you haven't made it clear, how many hundred years has the Yellow Emperor been to Dayu?"

"Uh...... It's probably more than 400 years. ”

"As far as I know, the Xia Dynasty is a little more than 2000 BC, plus these 400 years are at most 2500 BC, less than 5,000 years, and there are only seven generations of emperors from the Yellow Emperor to Dayu, how did they live for 400 years? ”

Zhou Jian was speechless, this Yanma knows too much, and it is worthy of studying archaeology.

"And as far as I know, there have been no bronze artifacts, writings, or city ruins in China that predate the Yin Shang Dynasty, that is, no relics of civilization earlier than 1600 B.C., so how can we prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty? Books about the records of the pre-Shang civilization, such as the "Shangshu Xia Shu" and the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", are already in the Warring States period, and I have read all of these books, of course, in the vernacular translation. ”

Zhou Jian retorted: "Who told you that the earliest history books that recorded the Xia Dynasty were from the Warring States Period, and the oracle bone inscription recorded that the 'Tang', that is, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty, 'Cheng Tang', appointed the slave-born 'Yi' as the prime minister, and collected intelligence to gradually break the history of the old dynasty's cities, and the dynasty he overthrew was probably not the Xia Dynasty." ”

"Well, even if it is the Xia Dynasty, the world's recognized signs of civilization are: writing, bronze, and city, you don't object to this, right?"

Zhou Jian acquiesced, although the standards of these three civilizations were formulated by foreign hair, but in all fairness, there is still some truth. In fact, jade appeared in China very early, but jade products can only be regarded as simple physical processing, and have not undergone complex chemical changes like bronze, so they cannot be regarded as civilization, and the same pottery is not counted.

Dayanma continued: "Okay, then how do you prove that the Xia Dynasty was a civilization dynasty with writing and bronze artifacts, and not a patrilineal clan tribe such as the late Neolithic period in Dawenkou? Speaking of which, the Dawenkou site was more than 4,000 years ago, which basically overlapped with the era of the Yellow Emperor, in addition, during this period, there were many Neolithic cultural sites in China similar to the Dawenkou site, such as the Liangzhu culture, the Longshan culture, etc., does this mean that four thousand years ago, the clan and tribal forms of the new era were a common phenomenon in China? ”

Zhou Jian said: "Dawenkou, Longshan or something in Shandong, not the birthplace of Chinese civilization in the Yellow River Basin, at that time the Yellow River Basin refers to the Shaanxi, Gansu, Jin region, but also the Yellow Emperor tribe. ”

In the same era, that is to say, more than 4,000 years ago, Henan appeared in Henan at the same time, the Xia Dynasty, a slave kingdom that unified the Yellow River Valley, and the Neolithic culture of the backward primitive society, do you think this really makes sense? And why do those small cultural sites that cannot be small have things that have been handed down to the present, but the Great Xia Dynasty, which unified the Yellow River Valley, did not? The only possible proof of the existence of civilization in the Xia Dynasty is that the Erlitou ruins are also between the end of the summer and the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, and only stone pottery has been found in the first and second phases of Erlitou, and only the bronze and palace ruins unearthed in the third and fourth periods also prove that there was no civilization in the Xia Dynasty, because the ruins of the third and fourth periods are obviously from the Shang Dynasty, and there are no relics of civilization more than 1600 BC unearthed in Huaxia, is it just that they are not properly protected? In Egypt, many relics of civilization from 3000 BC have been unearthed, such as the Namaier palette, but there are none in Huaxia. ”

Zhou Jian had a bit of a headache, he hadn't heard of some of the ruins Linda said, after all, he was just a hobby of archaeological history or something, not as professional as Linda. However, he still said unhurriedly: "Egypt has a tropical desert climate, and the Yellow River Basin in China has an East Asian monsoon climate. ”

"Please, that's the rest of Egypt, the Nile Delta, where the ancient Egyptian civilization is located, is the Mediterranean climate? Winters are humid and rainy. And are you sure that Gansu, Shaanxi, where the Yellow River valley is located, has always had a humid and rainy East Asian monsoon climate? And even so, why did the Dawenkou cultural site leave a large number of cultural relics?"

"Nonsense, those in Dawenkou are all stone pottery, and naturally they won't be rotten. ”

The Great Yanma was furious, and once she mentioned history, the first thing she wanted to look for was the evidence of cultural relics, not the legends of the history books." If China can't move its own testable civilization to before 2500 B.C., then it can't be called one of the oldest civilizations in the world, because the Greek civilization in the Aegean Sea, the Mitanni kingdom in the Mesopotamian Plain, and the Hittite civilization in Asia Minor are almost all civilizations of the same period as the Shang Dynasty, and the earlier Cretan civilization, ancient Indian civilization, Mycenaean civilization, and even the early terrible ancient Egyptian civilization and Sumerian civilization can be dated to 3500 BC. ”

"Note that the civilizations I mentioned have unearthed relics of civilization and really exist, so what is the basis for Mr. Liang Qichao's concept of the four ancient civilizations? I did not deny the Xia Dynasty, nor did I intend to target China, I just respected the factual evidence. If everything that is written is true, then the legendary Atlantis is probably more famous than the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of China. ”

Zhou Jian found that this Yanma seemed to be a different person when it came to history and archaeology, not only was it talking, it was simply frenzied, and a series of historical facts and the names of ancient civilizations in English made Zhou Jian unable to say a word.

At this time, Zhou Jian wanted to refute the Yanma speechlessly, but he couldn't think of any words for a while, the Yanma only recognized the facts, but he couldn't get the facts, and in terms of historical knowledge, he, an amateur of history, was obviously not as good as the Yanma who was born in a professional class. At this moment, Zhou Jian saw a man walk behind the big Yanma, and then reached out and patted the big Yanma's buttocks......
