Next Chapter

As the birthplace of Huaxia Wenyin and Chinese Wenyin, the Central Plains is the cradle of the Chinese nation, regarded as the center of the world, and is also known as "the wilderness in the middle of the world". The Central Plains region gradually spread outward with the great integration of the Chinese people and the expansion of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains region is the region with the largest number of dynasties in China, the longest history of capital building, and the largest number of ancient capitals, including more than 20 dynasties such as Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Later Zhao Dynasty, Ran Wei Dynasty, Former Yan Dynasty, Eastern Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Republic of China, etc., and more than 300 emperors built or moved their capitals here. It can be said that the Central Plains has always been the center of China's politics, economy, culture and transportation. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "those who win the Central Plains win the world".

Of the eight ancient capitals of China's major regimes for a long time in historical records or archaeological evidence, the Central Plains region occupies four of them. They are Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, Anyang, the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, and Zhengzhou, the ancient capital of the Xia and Shang Dynasties.

"Fifty miles of the night strings of the song, eight hundred princes towards the Ling Mountain".

As the last king of the Shang Dynasty, Di Xin played a great role in promoting the development of southeast China and the economic and cultural exchanges between the Huai River basin and the Yangtze River basin. During the same period, the king of Shang expanded the Yin capital and overhauled the palace annex called Chaoge.

During the period of King Shang, the song of the dynasty was quite prosperous as the capital of the country, so there was a classic verse of "fifty miles of night strings of the song of the dynasty, and eight hundred princes of the Lingshan Mountain". As a prosperous national capital, it must have spawned a lot of amazing and praised wonderful skills. Although a thousand years have passed, the song has long ceased to exist, but with the changes of the times, Henan, to which the song belongs, has passed down the skills of the millennium ago.

When it comes to Shang Dynasty culture, oracle bone inscriptions, bronzes, astronomy, mathematics, music, etc

Since the Shang Dynasty, Chinese music has entered the era of letter history. Folk music and court music have made a qualitative leap. Due to the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, and handicrafts, the casting of bronze reached a very high level, which made a leap in the production level of musical instruments. A large number of exquisite and luxurious musical instruments appeared.

People are enchanted by the beautiful music, and with the change and development of the times, more and more traditional dances, music, arts, and handicrafts have been handed down.

One of the most well-known is Henan Opera.
