Water has a source, and trees have roots.
Where is the source of the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation? Where is the basis for China to form a nation and stand among the nations of the world? A song Ode to the Yellow River gives us the answer-the Yellow River, you are the cradle of the Chinese nation, and 5,000 years of Chinese culture originated from you. ...
Westerners use the legend of God's creation to write the classic Bible that has been handed down from generation to generation, while Zhongyuan people have created eternal and beautiful myths with their own poetic way and unique culture.
Legend has it that Nuwa used the water and mud of the Yellow River to pinch out human beings and everything in the world.
It is also said that the Fuxi family of Taihao, who is proficient in gobbledygook, often looks up at the sky and the earth on the ancient Yellow River Road.
He made the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes and created the Yellow River culture.
The ancestors of the Chinese nation, Fuxi, Yan Di and Huangdi, were all born on the banks of the Yellow River and lived in the Yellow River basin for a long time.
Fuxi was born in Ji Cheng, Gansu Province, which is today's water. He is the founder of the Dragon Totem tribe. He has many inventions, such as gossip, writing, weaving nets, sericulture and weaving, and reforming the marriage system (forbidding consanguineous marriage), which has made great contributions to the social progress in ancient China.
After his death, he was buried in Huaiyang, Henan.
Its Taihao Mausoleum has become a sacred place for generations.
Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang gave birth to bears, namely Xinzheng, Henan.
Emperor Yan invented thunder, taught people to plant and breed, and also invented fire and Chinese herbal medicine, which made outstanding contributions to the development of agriculture.
Emperor Yan was later defeated by the Yellow Emperor and surrendered to the Yellow Emperor tribe.
Huangdi defeated Chiyou and Yan Di successively, unified China, founded the country and became the soul of china of the Chinese nation.
In view of their great contributions, people respected Emperor Yanhuang as the leader of the Chinese nation, and later generations also called themselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, which entered the slavery society, were all descendants of the Chinese people.
They call themselves "Hua" or "Xia".
Chinese is the predecessor of the Han nationality.
At that time, China people lived in the Central Plains and were surrounded by mountains, so they were also called "China".
This is the birth of the Chinese nation.
For more than two thousand years, the Central Plains has been the political, economic and cultural center of China.
Luoyang was the capital of nine dynasties and Kaifeng was the capital of seven dynasties.
Of the eight ancient capitals in China, the Central Plains accounted for four, namely Zhengzhou, Anyang, Luoyang and Kaifeng.
When it comes to the development of China, there is a saying that it depends on Henan in 5000, Xi 'an in 3000, Beijing in 500 and Nanjing in 100.
Chinese surnames originated in the Yellow River valley. Of the more than 800 surnames, 90% originated from the Central Plains, and 73 out of 100 surnames originated from Henan.
It not only made important contributions to the development of China's ancient economy and culture, but also promoted the development of world civilization.
History is fascinating because of its long history, and the nation is more vital because of the constant war.
For thousands of years, no matter what dynasty or generation, China people with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, as soon as they set foot in this yellow land, they seemed to be in the arms of their ancestors, and their blood was like the driving force of life! This is the maternal nature of the Yellow River.
Second, the Yellow River has contributed to the economic prosperity of the Central Plains.
Agriculture is the foundation of economy, and it is the water of the Yellow River that nourishes the land of the Central Plains that makes the agricultural economy of the Central Plains prosperous.
The ancestor of our Chinese nation, Emperor Yan, was named Shennong, and later generations regarded him as a god of agriculture.
At the same time, he also taught people to treat diseases with Chinese herbal medicine. It is said that he wrote Shennong's Herbal Classic.
Shennong Herbal Classic recorded 365 kinds of drug names. The original book was lost, and the existing version was compiled by Tang Shenwei and others in the Tang Dynasty.
Jia Sixie, an agricultural saint, wrote Qi Yao Min Shu, which played an important role in prospering economy and promoting the development of agricultural science and technology.
Shang Sheng Fan Li also made great achievements in developing commercial economy. His books The Miracle of Getting Rich, Tao Zhugong Skills, Twelve Lessons of Wealth Management and Lessons from Shopping Mall are called "business books". He is not only a big star of the first generation, but also the ancestor of future businessmen.
As far back as Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, Kaifeng and Luoyang along the Yellow River were world-famous metropolises.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the urban population of Kaifeng reached 2 million. The famous historical painting "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" depicts the prosperity of Bianliang and Bianhe, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Qingming period, with donkey-carrying teams, sedan chairs and long journeys. Huge oil tankers on the Bian River, or berthing to unload goods, or going back and forth in the river, the river passes through Hongqiao, the bridge is crowded, and the tanker in the river crosses the mast on the bridge, and the atmosphere is tense; Towering towers, criss-crossing streets and lanes, rows of shops, and people jostling with each other are in an endless stream, doing their own thing in teahouses, restaurants, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public toilets and other places, which can be called a custom picture depicting the social and economic life of cities in the Northern Song Dynasty.
After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up of 1980, Henan's economy has made rapid progress.
It can be seen from the completion of the Tenth Five-Year Plan that Henan's economy has jumped to a new level and become an important economic province and a new industrial province in China.
The province's GDP grew at an average annual rate of 1 1.4%, the total economic output reached 1 246.4 billion yuan, the per capita GDP grew at an average annual rate of more than110,000 yuan, and the fiscal revenue was nearly100 billion yuan.
The industrial added value quadrupled, and the ranking in China jumped from seventh to fifth.
In the past three years, the grain output has reached a record high.
In 2006, it broke through the 1000 billion Jin mark.
Infrastructure construction has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the mileage of expressways has jumped from the first 13 in China to the second, and it is expected to become the first by the end of the year. The framework of the Central Plains traffic corridor has basically taken shape.
The installed power capacity ranks fifth in China, and the construction of important energy bases in China has begun to take shape.
Foreign trade has also developed greatly. In 2006, the total import and export volume of the province reached US$ 654.38 billion, an increase of 22.4% over the previous year.
In 2006, the per capita net income of rural residents in the province was 326 1.03 yuan, which was 12. 1% higher than the previous year after deducting the price increase.
The per capita disposable income of urban residents was 98 10.26 yuan, with a real increase of 1 1.9%.
Henan province is a big agricultural province, and its grain output accounts for110 of the whole country. In 2006, its grain output reached 10 1 1000 billion Jin, ranking first in China for seven consecutive years and becoming a granary in the world.
At present, in the domestic market, 5 out of every 10 ham sausages come from Henan; Of every 10 quick-frozen dumplings, 5 are from Henan; Of every 3.5 bags of instant noodles, 1 bag comes from Henan; Of every 10 bag of monosodium glutamate, 4.5 bags are from lotus gourmet powder factory.
Henan's flour, instant noodles, dried noodles, quick-frozen dumplings and monosodium glutamate are the first in the country.
Shuanghui, Missing, Sanquan, Lotus and Thirteen Fragrances in Henan have become national brand products.
Third, the Yellow River has created a splendid Central Plains culture.
The Yellow River has created a splendid culture in the Central Plains, shining brilliantly in its golden light and shadow!
Heluo culture is the core culture of the Chinese nation.
"River Map" and "Luo Shu" condensed the mysterious imagination and extraordinary wisdom of ancient sages.
After Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the culture in the Central Plains was more developed, and a large number of cultural elites were born, forming many schools such as Confucianism, Taoism, France, military, Mohism, Ming and Jing, and producing many unique classics, such as poetry, calligraphy, Yi, ceremony, music, Spring and Autumn, etc.
Heluo culture has gradually become a strong culture of the Chinese nation, and "Dongyi", "Xirong", "Nanman" and "Beihu" have gradually been sinicized under its radiation and influence.
Heluo culture was born in Xia and Shang Dynasties, matured in Zhou Dynasty, developed in Han, Wei, Tang and Song Dynasties, and passed down to later generations.
Heluo culture includes not only material civilization centered on farming economy, but also political civilization and spiritual civilization such as politics, economy and culture.
The outstanding feature of Heluo culture is a long and continuous civilization.
From Peiligang culture to Yangshao culture, from Henan Longshan culture to Erlitou culture, from the mutual confirmation of archaeological discoveries and ancient records, we can clearly see the development context and trend of Chinese civilization in Heluo area for more than 5,000 years.
Among the ancient civilizations in the world, other countries have experienced cultural interruption or disappearance. Only Heluo culture, which originated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, is continuous and harmonious.
The strong vitality, radiation and assimilation of Heluo culture, as well as its rooting, massiness and integration, fully embodies the profoundness of Central Plains culture.
Fourth, the Yellow River has created advanced science and technology in the Central Plains.
The river flows into Wan Li.
The people of the Central Plains, nurtured by the milk of the Yellow River, have made remarkable scientific and technological achievements with their own wisdom through arduous exploration.
Paper-making, printing, compass and gunpowder are four great inventions of China in ancient times (actually all in the Central Plains), which later spread all over the world and made outstanding contributions to world civilization.
Ke Heng's armillary sphere and the theory of explaining solar and lunar eclipses are more than 1000 years earlier than the west, and the seismograph is more than 1700 years earlier than the west.
Zhu Zaiyu's twelve-average law solved the theoretical problem of turning palace and tone for the first time in the history of music, shocked the world music scene and triggered a revolution in the history of world music.
Among the five famous porcelains in the history of China, Jun porcelain, Ru Ci porcelain and Guan porcelain are all in Henan.
Our smelting technology is far ahead of the west.
In addition, in traditional Chinese medicine, the Chinese nation has made outstanding contributions to human health care and health and longevity.
Huangdi Neijing and Treatise on Febrile Diseases are China's classic works.
Huangdi Neijing was written 2500 years ago, which comprehensively investigated the relationship between man and nature.
Based on the materials of medicine, astronomy, meteorology, geography, psychology, biology and music theory, this paper demonstrates China's epoch-making work "On the Relationship between Heaven and Man".
Many health preserving words in Neijing, such as "long-term vision hurts blood, long-term lying hurts gas, long-term sitting hurts meat, long-term standing hurts bones and long-term walking hurts tendons", are very incisive.
Many medical experts believe that the development direction of contemporary medicine is almost to return to the ancient Huangdi Neijing.
Treatise on Febrile Diseases written by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, is a thousand-year-old holy book. Typhoid refers to diseases such as exogenous fever. This book records 375 prescriptions and 2 14 kinds of drugs, which is called the ancestor of prescription science.
Sun Simiao's masterpiece is Qian Jin Fang, and Qian Jin Fang Yi is an early encyclopedia of clinical medicine in China, which has a wide influence at home and abroad.
After the founding of New China, science and technology developed rapidly.
Our scientific and technological level in Henan has also been greatly improved, especially since the reform and opening up, which has leapt to a new level.
In 2006, the province's scientific research and experimental development expenditure was 6.9 billion yuan, an increase of 24. 1% over the previous year.
There are 1550 scientific research and technology development institutions in the province.
There are 56 engineering technology research centers, 2 national engineering technology research centers and 3/kloc-0 provincial key laboratories in the province.
Major scientific and technological projects such as "key technologies of UHV power transmission and transformation equipment" were launched and implemented.
Throughout the year, * * * won 346 provincial science and technology progress awards.
Patents were applied for 1 1538, and 5,242 patents were granted, up by 28.5% and 39.9% respectively.
The "An Cai" of high-tech industry occupies a leading position in the world.
The ultra-thin glass successfully developed by Luobo has reached the world advanced level.
Wang Yongmin's successful development of "Wu Bi Font Library" triggered the revolution of microcomputer word processing technology, and became an indispensable writing tool for China people, which played an inestimable role.
Wang Yongmin is known as contemporary Bi Sheng, and his "five strokes" application is known as movable type printing in the new era.
Zhengzhou Zhongyuan Display Technology Company's large display screen has reached the international leading level, with the characteristics of high brightness, wide viewing angle and full color, as well as the most advanced proprietary technology in the world display field. Now it has been extended to the whole country and exported to the United States, Australia, South Africa and other countries.
Li, a farmer in Huaxian County, won the national and United Nations invention gold medal for soybean fiber, which will lead to a revolution in human clothing.
His vegetable protein modified fiber is called "the eighth largest fiber" after polyester, cotton fiber, spandex, polypropylene fiber, viscose fiber and vinylon by the international textile industry. It has achieved the breakthrough of China's original technology in the history of chemical fiber, making China the only country in the world that can industrially produce soybean fiber for textile.
At present, dozens of knitting enterprises such as Erdos have introduced 2 million sets of underwear to the market. It is estimated that the domestic demand for soybean fiber will reach 600- 1 10,000 tons in 5-8 years, and the annual output value will exceed 2 1 100 million yuan.
Li plans to invest 60 million yuan to establish a soybean fiber technology center in Zhengzhou within two to three years.
The trial production line of soybean fiber in suiping county needs to expand 50 million tons 1 to 2 years.
In three to five years, it will reach 30%-50% of domestic production and sales, and form a world soybean fiber R&D and production base in Henan.
Putting this technology into mass production will play a great role in building a well-off society in an all-round way and promoting the economic take-off of a populous province.
The Yellow River has created sages, national heroes and pioneers of the times in the Central Plains.
The Yellow River has bred countless romantic figures, such as Yao, Shun, Yu, Han Wu, Song Zu, etc., which has given the Chinese nation a national backbone.
In the long history of 5,000 years, many sages, national heroes and pioneers of the times have emerged in the Central Plains.
Recently, the book Saint of China, which was edited by us, was published.
This book comprehensively and systematically discusses the life, deeds, thoughts, theories, contributions and influences of ancient saints in China.
In social sciences, there are Fuxi, Huangdi, and Xu Shen, Yi, Duke of Zhou, Guiguzi, Laozi and Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mencius, soldier Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Mo Sheng Mozi, Fa Sheng Han Feizi, Sima Qian, and Wu Yuhe Yue.
In natural science, there are wine saints Du Kang, Yi Yin, science saints Zhang Heng, Zu Chongzhi, agriculture saints Jia Sixie, Lu Yu and Cha Sheng.
There are medical saints Zhang Zhongjing, medical saints Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen, and Fa Sheng Zhu Zaiyu.
Most of these saints came from the Central Plains.
They not only reached the peak of ideological level and academic level at that time, but also had a far-reaching impact on the development of China's history until now and in the future.
As Xu Guangchun, secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, pointed out in Preface to China Sages, the noble moral thoughts, ethical sentiments, academic demeanor and entrepreneurial spirit of the ancient sages of China are all models that are always worth learning.
"Angry, pinglan, raining.
Looking up, screaming in the sky, strong and fierce.
Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon.
Don't be idle, grow old together and be unhappy.
..... "This is the patriotic feelings of Yue Fei, a heroic son and daughter nurtured by the Yellow River.
Yue Fei is not only superb in martial arts, but also outstanding in literary talent and calligraphy, especially his "Man Jiang Hong", which has inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of compatriots of the Chinese nation for thousands of years with its profound and magnificent appeal.
For thousands of years, the Yellow River valley was the center of feudal rule, and the struggle of the broad masses of working people against oppression was also continuous.
Chen Sheng and Guangwu in the late Qin Dynasty, Red Eyebrows, Bronze Horses and the Yellow Scarf Army in the Han Dynasty, Wagang Army in the late Sui Dynasty, Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zicheng and Zhang in the late Ming Dynasty all wrote magnificent movements in this land of the Yellow River Basin.
During the revolutionary war years, a large number of national heroes such as Ji Hongchang, Wu Huanxian, Yang Jingyu and Peng Xuefeng emerged.
The Yellow River keeps flowing, the society keeps moving forward, and the outstanding children of the times never stop moving forward.
During the period of socialist construction, Jiao, a good example of county party secretary, Ren Changxia, a good example of public security bureau chief, Wu Jinyin, a good example of township party secretary, Chang Xiangyu, a good example of literary and art workers, and Li Xuesheng, a good example of migrant workers, all wrote touching poems.
Sixth, the Yellow River has created rich tourism resources in the Central Plains.
The Yellow River has a beautiful structure and connotation.
Whether it is natural scenery or human landscape, the Yellow River has always been a well-known tourist brand for the people of China and the world.
Use four words to describe the beauty of the Yellow River, that is-width, size, precision and depth.
There are many famous mountains and rivers in the Yellow River basin.
There are Songshan, Yuntai Mountain, Funiu Mountain, Wuwangshan, Baiyun Mountain, Shiren Mountain and Yishui, Luoshui, Ruhe, Qinhe and Heying.
Therefore, the Yellow River tourist route should be the best choice to visit the magnificent natural scenery.
As for the human landscape all over the Yellow River, it is dotted and beautiful.
Hanguguan and Guo Tomb in Sanmenxia; Longmen Grottoes and Baima Temple in Luoyang; Du Fu's hometown, Shaolin Temple and Zhongyue Temple in Zhengzhou; Jokhang Temple, Qingming Shanghe Garden and Baogong Temple in Kaifeng; Zhuang Zhou's hometown Shangqiu Sui tomb, Zhang Botai; Anyang Yin Ruins Museum and Wenfeng Pagoda; Nanyang Wuhou Temple, Zhang Heng's hometown, Zhang Zhongjing's tomb.
Some people generally say that there are more than eight kinds of cultural landscapes along the Yellow River, namely, famous ancient capitals, tombs, grottoes reliefs, ancient temples, cultural sites, ancient battlefields, myths and legends, and folk customs.
It can be said that both sides of the Yellow River are natural museums of China history.
The mother of the Yellow River has given us so many tourist resources that we should cherish them and develop them vigorously.
The Yellow River is the mother river of our Chinese nation. It nourishes the ancient and magical land of the Central Plains, and our ancestors have thrived and developed under the nurturing of the Yellow River.
Our children in the Central Plains should love, care and protect the Yellow River more.
The Yellow River culture is our mother culture, which endows us with lofty national spirit and excellent traditional virtues.
Our children in the Central Plains should love, carry forward and develop the Yellow River culture.
We should give full play to the functions of the Yellow River, including not only human drinking water, farmland irrigation, ship transportation and hydropower development, but also take the use of the Yellow River to create a good ecological environment and develop the Yellow River tourism as our unshirkable responsibility today.
We should not only inherit and carry forward the Yellow River culture, but also take it as our bounden duty to develop the Yellow River culture and make full use of it to develop cultural industries.
Thus, the Yellow River will become an excellent international tourism line, ecological environment line, cultural industry line and green economy line, and contribute to the rise of the Central Plains and the comprehensive construction of a well-off society!
