In China's long history, the Chinese civilization has long become the world's attention. However, in the recording and interpretation of history, we have certain differences with Western countries, and one of the biggest controversies is the existence of the Xia Dynasty. Chinese historians have always regarded the Xia Dynasty as the first dynasty in the history of our country, but in the eyes of Western experts, the Xia Dynasty is regarded as a fiction and only a legend because of the lack of historical relics and systematic written records.
In order to solve this controversy, China spent money in the last century to establish the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Archaeological Dating Project", aiming to provide evidence for the existence of the Xia Dynasty. Soon after, archaeologists discovered the ruins of a sprawling palace in Erlitou, Henan, which gave the project team hope. Many ruins such as city roads and turquoise workshops have been found on the site, which are enough to prove the existence of civilization at that time. One of the tombs is particularly noteworthy, with an area of more than 20 square meters and more than 400 burial pits. And the most astonishing discovery was a fossilized green dragon, with sleek lines carved out of turquoise. Dragons have always had special significance in the history of our country, and the green dragon fossils in the soil of this site prove the existence of mythology, and also leave important evidence for the existence of civilization in the Xia Dynasty.
These discoveries not only prove the existence of civilization during the Xia Dynasty, but also show the ability of the Xia people to symbolize civilization. The discovery of green dragon fossils and ancient tombs marked the end of the Xia Dynasty civilization, but also left a valuable historical legacy for future generations.
