After more than half a year of new stage of excavation work in Liangzhu, archaeologists from more than a dozen archaeological research institutes in Tiannan and Haibei have once again made a breakthrough in research.

According to the molecular anthropological study of the archaeological site, it was finally determined that the Liangzhu Y chromosome haplogroup was O1 type.

What is the O1 type?

To put it simply, in the entire Han nationality, about 6.91% of the people have this gene, and the proportion of O1 among the southern Han people has reached 15.34%, and according to the absolute number, at least more than 90 million Han people belong to the O1 type.

Of course, some people will say that there are only more than 90 million people in China's more than 1 billion people carrying the O1 type, and it seems that this person is not a "majority"!

But in fact, the "Chinese", or the Chinese, are a diverse ethnic group.

Even if it can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period thousands of years ago, and even earlier in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the Chinese ancestors have been conquering and integrating foreign genes.

The Qiang people and the Guifang people who are far away, the Rongdi, Zhongshan, Huaiyi, and Chuyue people who are closer, and the Hu people and Huns who are closer......

Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have always been ethnic minority tusi in the southwest that have been integrated into the big collective of China.

The definition of "Chinese" has never been based on genes, bloodline, or race.

It's just that later there was a Qin Shi Huang who unified China again, otherwise it would have continued to modern times, and everyone would not even recognize each other as a nation.

How can an ancient Fang country with a capital, water conservancy facilities, altars, outer cities, farming culture, and a transportation system not be a civilization?

Just because no systematic writing has been found for the time being?

Moreover, the term "there is no text" cannot be concluded for the time being, but it can only be said that it has not been discovered yet!

Liangzhu is too big!

Liangzhu is the most important site in the great history of Chinese civilization and one of the important sources of tracing the origin of Chinese civilization.

A long time ago, O1 and O1 in Zhejiang and Shanghai were not the same crowd!

In other words, in the hometown of Liangzhu, there was a group of ancient people with O1 genotype six thousand years ago who established a kingdom called Liangzhu.

The O1 gene population in Liangzhu's hometown was packaged into the Han people in the Shanghai area of Zhejiang during the Qin and Han dynasties.

For example, the ethnic minorities such as the Gaoshan people, the Buyi people, the Zhuang people, the Tujia people, etc., who still exist now, have their own national cultures, and have always resisted integrating into the Han civilization in history, and finally continued to modern times, and are not the main civilization of China.

This is the same as Spain and Portugal, Northern Ireland and Ireland, Russia and Belarus......

The southern populations fled south to Southeast Asia, the Pacific, or formed their own peoples.

Although Liangzhu has not yet discovered writing, no one will doubt that Liangzhu is not an early civilization and a Fang country!

Because, the comprehensive civilization level of Liangzhu is really not low at all!

So there is almost no doubt that the Liangzhu people are indeed Han Chinese.

Chen Han is just one of the archaeologists who have devoted several generations to the archaeological research of the Liangzhu site.

The ancestors of the Liangzhu period, although their country and civilization may have been destroyed by a catastrophe, their descendants did not stop there, but have been thriving in the southeast of China, becoming the main people of the "Jiangnan region".

….

In this land covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and perhaps even larger and more expansive, Chinese archaeologists have only made a beginning of research for decades.

However, these ethnic groups no longer exist, and all the descendants have been integrated into the Han people, so it can be said that they have completely become part of the Han people.

Of course, it's not that there is an O1 type in the gene, then all of them are Liangzhu people.

Even the O3 type, which occupies the most Huaxia genes, is only about 600 million people at present, but can it be said that the remaining 600 million people in Huaxia have been expelled from Huaxia nationality?

Moreover, Miao Yao O3 in southern China accounts for 51.41%, the Dulong people are 100%, and the Austronesian O3 has 26.31%.

Of course not.

Based on the above conclusions, these people can basically be identified as the direct descendants of the Liangzhu people.

As soon as this study came out, it can be said that the domestic and even Asian academic circles were in an uproar!

The Liangzhu civilization has been confirmed from culture to genes, and it is one of the sources of the main civilization of China, and it is undoubtedly the ancestral lineage of China!

This discovery is undoubtedly very encouraging to the Chinese people!

Because the history of Chinese civilization will be conclusively extended to 6,000 years ago!

Actually, the genes are very complex, and humans migrated on a large scale tens of thousands of years ago.

The O1 type people in Liangzhu are one of the ancestral veins of the modern Chinese people and the source of culture, but the other southern O1 people are not the source of Chinese civilization and culture, and they cannot even be regarded as the main culture.

Genetically, we may be relatives, but culturally, in terms of ethnic identity, we are not the least similar.

The integrity, age, scale, and connotation of the Liangzhu site can be ranked at that time, and it is not far behind Uruk, the ancient city of your, the ancient city of Elidu, and the ancient Egyptian Thebes and Memphis.

Civilization, culture, and development have nothing to do with each other!

For example, in Fujian, Liangguang, and even more south Vietnam and Southeast Asia, there are many modern people with O1 type in their genes, but does this mean that they are also Liangzhu people?

In fact, the researchers led by Chen Han, according to the continuity of O1 in time and space, have basically determined the O1 population in Zhejiang and Modu areas, from the Neolithic Age to the modern era... The crowd may not have been replaced!

In other words, the people in this area may be the descendants of Liangzhu.

After all, you can't expect that five or six thousand years ago, when the rush was all about walking, there would be a country that ruled millions or even tens of millions of square kilometers, right?

This is the same as the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, their genotypes may all be the same, and they are also married to each other, but they are different countries.

These ethnic groups and the Liangzhu people are not one group.

And people with the O1 gene who live elsewhere still live their own lives.

There are still too many things to explore about Liangzhu, and there are too many secrets, waiting for generations of Chinese archaeologists to study one after another.

Liangzhu is also the largest of these 5,000-year-old ancient cities, with the most complete water conservancy system and the largest project construction.

According to historical records, we can be sure that this group of people is Yu Yue and Yang Yue who were once among the hundred Yue.

Maybe he has a little more talent than others, and a little more help from the occult system than others.

But in the matter of archaeology, there is never a shortcut, every archaeologist needs to be meticulous, little by little to sift the process of soil, inch by inch to excavate Liangzhu!

For Chen Han, his archaeological journey has just begun.

In the future, there are still too many secrets of Chinese civilization waiting for him to discover, study, and explore!

The archaeological journey of Chinese civilization will also be a journey of searching for the source of human civilization that has spread for hundreds or even thousands of years!
