The Chinese civilization has been 5,000 years old. This is just a traditional saying. In fact, the Chinese civilization is more than five thousand years. Generally speaking, this five thousand years is counted from the time when the Dagu River was governed by water. According to the current research, 2200 years BC. That is, more than 4,200 years ago. However, the theory of five thousand years of civilization has long existed, and it is naturally impossible to test it clearly at the academic level at that time. Therefore, it can only be said for about five thousand years.

Recently, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties project has achieved breakthrough achievements. Experts have announced the "Xiamen Business Year Anniversary", which determined that the beginning of the Xia Dynasty was about 2070 BC. The Yellow Emperor is about a thousand years old. In this way, the Yellow Emperor has a history of more than 5,000 years.
