Do kaomojis count as text?

This is just a funny question.

But this question brought a lot of thinking to the experts at the scene.

The original text, perhaps just like emojis, can only simply express some "situations" and use them to express what you want to say.

Although this kind of "character writing" is very primitive, it cannot be said that it is not a writing, because it already has some of the uses and importance of writing.

Chen Han was very emotional after participating in this discussion that had no beginning and no end.

Although, it was not discussed in the end as to whether Liangzhu had writing or not. This is not a topic that can be discussed in one discussion.

But while attending the conference, Chen Han felt the charm that Liangzhu brought to all archaeologists.

Just as Mr. Shi Xingeng, the discoverer of Liangzhu Civilization, said in the preface of the "Liangzhu Archaeological Report" written in that chaotic era.

"Our ancient ancestors persevered to open up this vast land and created a culture that will last forever. Looking back on the past today, how should we conscientiously continue the life and glorious culture of our nation?"

"However, our current descendants are seeing the land that our ancestors opened up decline day by day, and our culture is being crazily destroyed by the enemy. This is a critical moment for our survival."

"However, China is definitely not something that other nations can conquer. History clearly tells us that precisely because we have a long-standing, broad and strong culture, we are living in this arduous and great era, and we must do our best to maintain and preserve our country's inherent heritage.

Only if the culture is not damaged even a little bit can everyone have a firm and unyielding confidence!"

With the further deepening of the understanding of Liangzhu Civilization, Liangzhu Civilization should return to its normal position in Chinese history and become the pride of all Chinese people.

Judging from the current archaeological results, Liangzhu was the only country in China 5,000 years ago!

5,000 years ago, China had as many cultures as stars, but there was only one country, the Liangzhu Civilization.

For a long time, some people in the international academic community have believed that Chinese civilization began during the Yin and Shang Dynasties (national civilization) about 3,500 years ago.

The successive revelations of the Liangzhu ruins mean that the origin of Chinese civilization and the formation of the country 5,000 years ago are becoming conclusive.

Why Liangzhu?

How does Liangzhu prove the five thousand years of Chinese civilization?

A large number of archaeological discoveries show that Liangzhu as a country has mature conditions for discussing its shape.

Not only the exquisite jade, lacquerware, silk, ivory, pottery, but also the superb wooden architecture mean that the social division of labor in Liangzhu is very developed, and there is a definite division of labor between agriculture and handicraft manufacturing.

Numerous tomb data also reflect that Liangzhu's social stratification is very obvious and it is already a class society.

A series of new discoveries, including the ancient city of Liangzhu and dams, have greatly enriched the understanding of the social development of Liangzhu.

Liangzhu has highly developed science and technology, profound social mobilization capabilities, efficient organizational management capabilities, and clear urban-rural differences. The ancient city of Liangzhu has formed an indivisible economy with the surrounding vast areas.

Although, according to the so-called three elements of civilization in the West, no bronzes have been discovered in Liangzhu.

However, it is undeniable that Liangzhu definitely has the standard of civilization - the shape of a country.

Westerners believe that entering the Bronze Age is the standard for "civilization."

This is just from their own perspective. They have never seen a civilization that had a national form before entering the Bronze Age.

The three elements of civilization are already an outdated term.

According to "A General History of the World", the characteristics of civilization include: urban centers, institutionally established national political power, tribute or taxation, writing, society divided into classes or estates, huge buildings, various specialized arts and sciences

etc.

The Liangzhu Civilization undoubtedly conforms to these characteristics.

The most important thing is that Liangzhu Ancient City consists of Mojiaoshan Site, Liangzhu Ancient City Area and Outer

It is composed of Guo District and other parts, covering an area of ​​8 square kilometers.

The famous Sumerian ancient city of Ur covers an area of ​​only 0.6 square kilometers.

Even Sumer was a civilization, but Liangzhu, which had a city ten times larger than Sumer, wasn’t a civilization?

No Western archaeologist can refute this.

Our Liangzhu is really too hard.

Liangzhu culture reached an unprecedented height of social development.

The area around Taihu Lake where Liangzhu is distributed has a clear hierarchy of settlements, and the religious beliefs and ritual systems with jade as the core are broadly consistent.

Therefore, academic circles generally believe that Liangzhu society basically conforms to the Chinese archaeological definition of a "civilized" society, and has formed a high-level political system that is more mature than ordinary "ancient countries" and can be called an "early country."

Moreover, the Chinese civilization is the direct continuation of the Liangzhu civilization.

From the existing evidence and certain reasoning, it is easy to conclude that the Liangzhu Civilization is the earliest Chinese civilization that can be traced so far.

The most important evidence actually comes from one sentence.

"The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs."

"The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and war" comes from "Zuo Zhuan·Thirteenth Year of Chenggong", which means: the major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and war. Zuo Zhuan is one of the Four Books and Five Classics, and is one of the spiritual cores of the Chinese nation.

.

This is an "axiom" that has been accepted by all dynasties in China since it was proposed.

In other words, sacrifice and sacrifice are the main essence or characteristics of Chinese civilization, and they are the main indicators for judging whether the Chinese civilization is Zhengshuo.

Sacrifice to heaven and earth is the most important sacrifice according to common sense, and its importance should be at least no less important than other sacrifices put together. Sacrifice to heaven and earth with Congbi is established by Zhou Rites, and Congbi is currently recognized as the invention of Liangzhu. Therefore,

From a sacrificial perspective, Liangzhu made the greatest contribution to Chinese civilization and was the first of its kind.

In the Zhou rites, the jade axe is the main representative of military power, and the jade axe is the most developed in Liangzhu. Therefore, from a Rong perspective, Liangzhu also made the greatest contribution to Chinese civilization and was the righteous shuo of Chinese civilization.

To sum up the above two points, it is almost impossible that there is another culture that has a greater impact on Chinese civilization from the perspective of worship and military affairs or the country. In other words, the status of Zhengshuo has been established in Liangzhu in the Zhou Dynasty at the latest.

Although the Zhou people probably did not know about Liangzhu culture.

Strictly speaking, the Liangzhu Civilization is certainly not the origin of Chinese civilization, nor is it the main civilization that later became the Chinese civilization.

Perhaps the academic community is still debating whether the Songze culture is the origin of Chinese civilization, the Jiahu culture, or the Hongshan culture. In short, it is definitely not the Liangzhu civilization.

But it is undeniable that the Liangzhu Civilization played an important role in connecting the past and the future.

They inherited the primitive tribal civilization of early China and the main Chinese civilization of the "Yan-Huang" system. They are a force that cannot be ignored in the process of the origin of Chinese civilization!

The most important embodiment of "Sacrifice and Rong" in Liangzhu culture lies in the altar.
