China as the worldFour ancient civilizationsOne of them, which has long been recognized as unique and brilliantAncient civilization。But why are three other ancient countries with equally long histories, such as India and Egypt, not receiving the same recognition? For the sake of this question, this article will focus on the historical background of India, Egypt, and Babylon and why they did not acquire as much as ChinaAncient civilizationof glory.
Ancient Babylon appeared nearly 4,000 years agoTwo river basinswas once the largest art city in the world. However, what they are most amazing about is the development of craftsmanship and technology. Among them, the most famous is the "Hanging Garden" they built. This garden was built by the king to make the princess feel livable away from home, and the whole garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, giving the princess a colorful living environment. The craftsmanship of the garden's construction is still impressive. However, with the decline of the ancient Babylonian Empire, this beautiful garden eventually became an abandoned buildingDead City
Ancient Egyptian civilization has a long history, and there are traces of human activities more than 9,000 years ago. And more than 7,000 years ago, ancient Egypt began to use bronze tools and developed its own religious beliefs and epicsMythology。Ancient Egypt is known forPyramidsThe architecture is famous all over the worldPyramidsThe craftsmanship of the construction is exquisite, and it is still impressive. However, after wars and foreign invasions, ancient Egypt eventually decayedArabPeople occupy and receiveArabThe influence of civilization. Hundreds of years later, the language and culture of ancient Egypt were gradually lost and eventually forgotten in the long river of history.
Ancient India was one of the first areas where humans appeared, and primitive humans lived here millions of years ago. The ancient Indians gradually developed their own religious beliefs and epicsMythologyand developed knowledge in areas such as astronomical calendars and natural sciences. However, ancient India was plagued by wars and foreign invasions throughout its history, which eventually led to its decline and decline. In modern times, ancient India has become a British colony, and its culture has been more suppressed and assimilated.
In contrast, China's Chinese civilization has been able to stand tall and continue to develop to this day. This is partly due to:Han cultureThe concept of identity and unification. Han cultureHistorically, it has advanced the culture of other ethnic groups in the surrounding area, and has formed the concept of Chinese identity. Unlike other countries, even in Chinese dynasties, such as during the Manchu dynasty,ManchuPeople will fit in, tooHan culture, emphasizing their Han Chinese ancestry, and learningCentral PlainsCulture. Han culture is also flexible and inclusive, not only does not deprive other ethnic groups of their cultural identity, but also allows other cultures to integrate on the basis of Han culture. In addition, China has always adhered to the concept of great unification, although the world is the best in history, there are always talents who can unify the world and build a great empire. This open and inclusive cultural concept and the consciousness of great unification have enabled China's Chinese civilization to continue to this day and become one of the world's unique ancient civilizations.
Although India, Egypt, and Babylon all have long histories and unique cultures, they have not been acquired in the same way as ChinaAncient civilizationof glory. This is mainly because these civilizations have encountered various difficulties and challenges in the process of historical development, which have led to their cultural inheritance and harmonyDevelopment is stunted。On the contrary, China's Chinese civilization has continued and developed throughout history, and its cultural concept of flexibility, inclusiveness, and unification has become the cornerstone of Chinese civilization. Thus, China was able to maintain itsAncient civilizationand continues to play an important role in today's world.
