"In the form of government of the Liangzhu culture, secular power may be in the hands of the unit represented by the family in the community."

"And the community that controls the divine right can redistribute the divine power in some way, such as the distribution of divine emblems and ritual weapons."

"After thousands of years of multicultural evolution, substitution, and inheritance in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, an early civilization of Liangzhu culture was finally formed in the Taihu Lake Basin."

"This is the culmination of material expression, economic form, etiquette, social system, belief system and other aspects, becoming the first ancient culture in China to enter the stage of civilization, and has played an irreplaceable role in the formation of a pluralistic and integrated Chinese civilization!"

The applause was thunderous and enduring.

This old expert from the Zhejiang Institute of Archaeology, with a white beard, still has a very good level of lectures.

Everyone gave him a round of applause from the bottom of their hearts.

After a round of applause, the smile on the old expert's face became even stronger.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it for a moment, and continued:

"The Liangzhu culture from 5,300 to 4,300 years ago, with the Taihu Lake basin as the core in terms of distribution, and the marginal areas can reach the southern part of northern Jiangsu, the southern part of Zhejiang and the eastern part of AH, with a fairly developed rice planting agriculture, pottery, stone, jade, bone, lacquer, wood, textile and other handicrafts, as well as exquisite jade carving technology level and a high degree of unified social beliefs."

"Although its exchanges with other cultures in the same period are in a two-way trend, we can occasionally see factors such as Dawenkou culture and Qujialing culture in Liangzhu culture, such as the back pot in the tomb of Liangzhu culture in Fuquan Mountain, Shanghai, which is a typical artifact unique to Dawenkou culture, but in the middle and late periods, it is more export-oriented, and other cultural factors are rarely seen in Liangzhu culture."

"The influence of Liangzhu cultural factors, north to Jiangsu and northern Lunan, west to the two lakes area, south to the land of Minyue, and even the type of Tao temple in Shanxi and the relics of Shenmu Shiyuan in northern Shaanxi also have a certain cross-time and space impact, and the jade bi, jade cong, T-shaped dingzu, piercing ear pot, and broad-handled cup found in the Dawenkou cultural distribution area in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and other areas can accurately prove the influence of Liangzhu culture."

What does that mean?

It is Liangzhu who is the out-and-out big brother of Chinese civilization.

Although at the beginning of the birth of the people, they were influenced by some other cultures in the Central Plains, in the middle of the development of Liangzhu, they also learned from other Chinese civilizations the production methods and styles of some utensils.

However, after the middle and late Liangzhu civilization, Liangzhu has become the largest cultural export place in the land of China.

The excellent culture and utensils that were born in Liangzhu had been innovated at that time, and it had become the strongest one in China, and it continued to influence and radiate outward.

This is like the United States, which is the strongest country at the time, and all kinds of new technologies emerged from the United States and then spread to the world.

In that era, all kinds of new artifacts and cultures emerged in an endless stream, and then gradually spread to the whole of China.

"However, the expansion of Liangzhu cultural factors, when it widely affects the vast region, there are many factors that have not been inherited for a long time and effectively, but some of them have gradually been integrated into the local cultural genes."

"Roughly in the late Liangzhu culture, the Haochuan culture closely related to the Liangzhu culture appeared in the mountainous and coastal areas of southern Zhejiang, and also extended to the Nanpuxi basin in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.

"However, the biggest difference between the Haochuan culture and the Liangzhu culture is the lack of large-scale jade ritual vessels and facial patterns of gods, men and beasts, which shows that they are likely to be outside the theocratic distribution system of the Liangzhu state."

"The Neolithic jade factor in Taiwan may also be related to the influence of the late Liangzhu culture."

Chen Han, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but be secretly speechless when he heard these words.

In that backward and barbaric era 5,000 years ago.

It is already remarkable that the ancestors of the ancient kingdom of Liangzhu were able to spread their culture to the Fujian region, which is full of high mountains and difficult to pass.

But I didn't expect that people could still spread their influence to the Taiwan area?

The jade artifacts unearthed in the Neolithic ruins of Taidao were also influenced by the Liangzhu culture?

it!

Five thousand years ago, the Liangzhu people were able to cross the Taiwan Strait?

Just leaning on their little sampan??

What kind of ancestors are these pioneers full of pioneering spirit!

If you don't participate in this lecture and don't listen to the detailed answers of the experts from the Zhejiang Institute who have studied the Liangzhu site for decades, even Chen Han and others from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences don't have a profound idea of how much influence the ancient country of Liangzhu has.

They know that this is the first ancient country in China, and they also know that this is the birthplace of jade culture, and it is an advanced civilization that can stand side by side with the civilizations of the Lianghe River Basin and the Nile River Basin.

I also know that the various habits of the Liangzhu people have become part of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in later generations, laying the foundation of China.

But the specific details, unless you pay attention to Liangzhu-related papers every day, you will not understand it so clearly.

Stage.

The old expert continues:

"At the end of the Liangzhu period, the Qianshanyang culture from the western edge of the mountains had a great impact on the Liangzhu culture, and may eventually briefly replace the Liangzhu culture in the southern part of the Taihu Lake Basin."

"The Wangyoufang type of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River moved south to the Yangtze River Delta region, which promoted the formation of the Guangfulin culture in the southeast of the Taihu Lake Basin."

"In the end, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River gradually integrated into the historical torrent of Chinese civilization after many interactions between the north and the south and the east and west at different times."

"Especially in the Greater Central Plains District, the typical cultural factors of Liangzhu, which are dominated by jade cong, gods, beasts and jade cone-shaped ornaments, have been integrated into and continued into the Shang culture."

"The Yue in the weapon, the combination of the Dingdou pot in the pottery, the motif such as gluttony and cloud thunder in the ornamentation, lacquerware, and silk were all inherited and carried forward by the main culture of later China, that is, the Xia, Shang and Zhou cultures, and became an important gene of early Chinese civilization."

"The agriculture with rice agriculture as the main body and silk as the characteristic formed by the long-term development of prehistoric culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the production of jade tools that flourished to meet the needs of the times, and the "resource-processing-trade" jade industry characterized by trade that is likely to exist, the jade ritual ware with the facial patterns of gods, men and beasts and jade cong and bi as the core, and the jade and stone as the focus, and the royal power finally formed by the control of the society by the etiquette system behind it, all have local cultural characteristics. ”

"This civilization development model, with divine power as the link, royal power as the support, and economy as the focus, finally converged in the long river of history and merged into the civilization tide characterized by the civilization of the Xia and Shang dynasties!"

"The strong theocratic culture of businessmen also has a precedent to follow!"

"Liangzhu is one of the cradles of our Chinese civilization!"

The roaring applause once again resounded throughout the lecture hall
