In the long-term traditional concept, the Yellow River Basin has always been regarded as the birthplace of Chinese-Buddhist civilization, while other regions followed in the footsteps of the Yellow River civilization. Not only the historical documents of feudal times said so, but also the early archaeologists saw it so.

but in the sixties and seventies of this century, a large number of archaeological discoveries broke this traditional concept. It has been suggested that China is so big that Neolithic sites are found everywhere, and it is difficult to say where it is the source and where it is not. It is believed that Chinese civilization is the result of multiple sources and mutual infiltration, blending and cohesion.

Zhejiang was the first to make trouble. In the late 196s, the Neolithic remains were discovered in Majiabin, Jiaxing, Jiangsu. When the Hemudu site was discovered again in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province in 1973, this new theory was further advanced, or confirmed.

A large number of black pottery, utensils for production and living, and dry-fence house buildings unearthed here strongly prove the social features at different stages from 7, years ago to 5, years ago. It shows that the Neolithic age in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River may have developed synchronously with Yangshao culture in the Yellow River at the same time.

This view was quickly supported by many scholars in archaeology, who believed that the primitive culture in the Yangtze River basin was one of the important cradles of ancient Chinese culture. Of course, in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Yellow River civilization in the Central Plains was at the forefront.

The lower reaches of the Yangtze River have long been known as the land of Dongyi. However, perhaps because of its remoteness and remoteness from the national political center, this region has retained its own independent cultural characteristics and formed the unique features of the ancient Wuyue culture.

in the Zhou dynasty, Wu yue maintained a subordinate relationship with the central government, but the economy and culture were self-contained. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, used Fan Li and Ji Ran to become rich in ten years. Resting on one's laurels makes the country strong.

However, compared with Zhongyuan, wuyue still fell behind a lot until the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian said in the Biography of Huo Zhi in Historical Records: "In the land of Chu and Yue, he is vast and sparsely populated, eating rice and soup fish, or ploughing with fire and water, and winning clams without waiting for capital."

"Therefore, to the south of Jianghuai, there is no place where you are hungry and have a daughter's home." Modern people think that coastal areas are more open and richer than inland areas, which is far from the case in ancient times. But since the Three Kingdoms, wuyue's economy has been developing continuously. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, the economy in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River overwhelmed the Yellow River basin.

until modern times, Jiangnan is still one of the richest areas in China. This historical track in wuyue has caused its own regional cultural characteristics; It not only accepts the influence of the Yellow River culture, but also shows the characteristics of the region. The backwardness in the early stage is in sharp contrast with the advancement in the middle and late stage; On the one hand, it is a rich economic life, while retaining more ancient customs.

wuyue, Fujian and Guangdong all have this characteristic. Shanghai has the most modern industry, but so far it always likes "Allah" long and "Allah" short, and is unwilling to speak Mandarin. Suzhou pingtan is young and low-pass, delicate and tactfully more unique; There are not many other places in Minnan.
