We often say that "Chinese civilization sees Shanxi". Why?

As a Shanxi native, let me answer this question well ~

The Chinese civilization in China has been passed down for more than 5,000 years, and the most common saying is "Chinese civilization sees Shanxi". In fact, the sentence that is often said should be "underground civilization looks at Shaanxi, and above-ground civilization looks at Shanxi". Shanxi is known as "the first ancient building in the world". The whole province has complete cities, towns, courtyards, dwellings, caves, temples, tombs, towers, temples, walls and temples, all of which are representative buildings of China, so Shanxi Province is also called "China Ancient Architecture Museum".

The ancient Hemudu people in Shanxi, located in the Yellow River valley, developed from here, and Shun Di and Yu left many things in this area. So now these things are found in the Yellow River valley, and Shanxi is naturally the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
