Does emoji count as a text or not?

It's just a funny question.

But this question brought a lot of food for thought to the experts on the scene.

Primitive characters, perhaps like emojis, can only simply express some "situations", borrowing them to express what they want to say.

Although this kind of "character writing" is very primitive, it cannot be said that it is not a written word, because it already has some of the usefulness and importance of the written word.

participated in this discussion with a beginning and no end, which made Chen Han very emotional.

Although, in the end, it was not discussed, whether Liangzhu has a text or not, this is not a topic that can be discussed in a discussion meeting.

But in the process of participating in the conference, Chen Han felt the charm that Liangzhu brought to all archaeologists.

As Mr. Shi Xingen, the discoverer of the Liangzhu civilization, said in the preface of the "Liangzhu Archaeological Report" written in that chaotic era.

"Our ancient ancestors persevered in opening up this vast land and created a splendid culture, and we look back on the past today, how should we conscientiously continue the life and glorious culture of our nation?"

"However, our children and grandchildren, seeing the land left by our ancestors falling day by day, and our culture being frantically destroyed by the enemy, is at this critical juncture of survival."

"However, China is definitely not something that other nations can conquer, history clearly tells us that it is precisely because of the long-standing, broad and strong culture that we live in this arduous and great era, and we must do our best to maintain and preserve the inherent culture of our country, so that everyone can have an indomitable confidence!"

With the further understanding of the Liangzhu civilization, the Liangzhu civilization should return to its normal position in Chinese history and become the pride of the whole Chinese people.

Judging from the current archaeological results, Liangzhu was the only country on the land of China 5,000 years ago!

5,000 years ago, there were many cultures in China, but there was only one country, and that was the Liangzhu civilization.

For a long time, some people in the international academic community believe that Chinese civilization began in the Yin Shang period (national civilization) about 3,500 years ago.

The successive revelations of the Liangzhu site mean that the origin of Chinese civilization and the formation of the country 5,000 years ago are being confirmed.

Why Liangzhu?

How does Liangzhu confirm the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization?

A large number of archaeological discoveries show that Liangzhu as a country has the mature conditions to discuss its form.

Not only the exquisite jade, lacquerware, silk, ivory, pottery, and superb wooden architecture, but also the superb wooden construction, means that Liangzhu has a well-developed social division of labor, and there is a definite division of labor between agriculture and handicraft manufacturing.

The numerous burial materials also reflect that the social stratification of Liangzhu is very obvious, and it is already a class society.

A series of new discoveries, including the ancient city of Liangzhu and the dam, have greatly enriched our understanding of the social development of Liangzhu.

With highly developed science and technology, profound social mobilization ability and efficient organization and management ability, and clear urban-rural differences, the ancient city of Liangzhu has formed an inseparable economy with the surrounding vast areas.

Although, according to the so-called three elements of civilization in the West, Liangzhu has not yet found bronzes.

However, it is undeniable that Liangzhu definitely has the standard of civilization - the form of a state.

Westerners believe that entering the Bronze Age is the standard of "civilization".

It's just that they stand on their own point of view, and they haven't seen a civilization that already has the form of a state before entering the Bronze Age.

The three elements of civilization are already an outdated statement.

According to the General History of the World, the characteristics of civilization include: urban centers, the political power of the state established by the system, tribute or taxation, writing, the division of society into classes or hierarchies, huge buildings, various specialized arts and sciences, and so on.

And the Liangzhu civilization undoubtedly conforms to these characteristics.

The most important thing is that the ancient city of Liangzhu consists of the ruins of Mojiao Mountain, the ancient city of Liangzhu and the outside

Guo District and other parts, covering an area of 8 square kilometers.

And the famous Sumerian ancient city of your covers an area of only 0.6 square kilometers.

Sumeria can be a civilization, and Liangzhu, whose city is far more than ten times larger than Sumer, is not civilization?

No Western archaeologist can refute this.

Our Liangzhu is too hard.

Liangzhu culture has reached an unprecedented height of social development.

The area around the Taihu Lake where Liangzhu is distributed has a clear settlement hierarchy, and the religious beliefs and ritual system with jade as the core have a wide consistency.

Therefore, it is generally believed that the Liangzhu society basically conforms to the definition of a "civilized" society in Chinese archaeology, and formed a high-level political system that is more mature than the ordinary "ancient state" and can be called an "early state".

Moreover, the Chinese civilization is a direct continuation of the Liangzhu civilization.

From the existing evidence and some reasoning, it is easy to conclude that the Liangzhu civilization is the earliest Chinese civilization that can be traced back to China.

One of the most important pieces of evidence actually comes from a sentence.

"The major affairs of the country are in worship and worship"

"The major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong" comes from the "Zuo Chuan: The Thirteenth Year of Chenggong", which means: the major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and war, and Zuo Chuan is one of the four books and five classics, and is one of the spiritual cores of the Chinese nation.

This is an "axiom" that has been accepted by all dynasties and generations in China since it was proposed.

In other words, worship and Rong are the main essence or characteristics of Chinese civilization, and they are the main indicators for judging whether it is the right Chinese civilization.

Sacrificing to heaven and earth is the most important ritual from common sense, and its importance should be at least no weaker than that of other rituals combined. Sacrificing heaven and earth to Congbi is determined by the Zhou rites, and Congbi is currently recognized as an invention of Liangzhu. Therefore, from the perspective of ritual, Liangzhu has made the greatest contribution to Chinese civilization and is the Zhengshuo of Chinese civilization.

In the Zhou ceremony, Yuyue was the main representative of military power, and Yuyue was also the most developed in Liangzhu. Therefore, from Rong's point of view, Liangzhu also has the greatest contribution to Chinese civilization and is the Zhengshuo of Chinese civilization.

To sum up, it is almost impossible to have another culture that has a greater impact on Chinese civilization from the perspective of worship and Rong or the state, that is, Liangzhu has been established as Zhengshuo by the latest in the Zhou Dynasty, although it is likely that the Zhou people did not know about Liangzhu culture.

Strictly speaking, the Liangzhu civilization is certainly not the origin of the Chinese civilization, nor is it the main civilization of the later Chinese civilization.

Perhaps the academic community is still debating whether the Songze culture is the origin of Chinese civilization, or the Jiahu culture, or the Hongshan culture, in short, it will definitely not be the Liangzhu civilization.

However, it is undeniable that the Liangzhu civilization has assumed an important role in connecting the past and the next.

They inherited the primitive tribal civilization of the early Chinese period and the main Chinese civilization of the "Yan-Huang" system, and are a force that cannot be ignored in the process of the origin of Chinese civilization!

The most important embodiment of "worship and Rong" in Liangzhu culture lies in the altar.

Next, Chen Han will go to the altar of the Liangzhu civilization to find out.
