Chinese civilization originated 9,000 years ago.
Western scholars have always believed that the origin of Chinese civilization was 3,000 years ago according to their standards, and Chinese scholars have never been able to prove this point of view wrong despite their disagreement. The latest findings of the Jiahu culture and the definition of civilization standards can prove that Chinese civilization originated 9,000 years ago.
Civilization is an ethical and scientific norm that allows different groups of people to live harmoniously in the same country. The Chinese civilization, on the other hand, began to sprout more than 8,000 years ago, had its first ancient states 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, and fully matured 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. The longevity of the ancient Chinese civilization is nothing less than that of the ancient civilizations of the West.

Language and culture can be traced back to the ancient times. p>Language cultures can be traced back for a limited time, generally not beyond the Neolithic period. And there is a great deal of subjective judgment involved in constructing human evolutionary lineages based on comparisons of fossil similarities. Many morphological features do not correlate with germline differences.
For example, in a study of the morphology of Homo erectus in Georgia published in Science last year, five skulls found at the same address and in the same stratum showed morphological differences that approximated the differences between able-bodied, artisanal, erectus, and early homo sapiens within the genus Homo. This seriously challenges the credibility of fossil morphologic comparisons. The gaps between people can now be accurately determined through DNA studies.
And different civilizations have different explanations for where humans came from. The West has had a creationist tradition since ancient times. The Chinese have different ideas. Our tradition holds that everything, including humans, is fallible.
"Tao may be Tao, but not constant Tao, and name may be name, but not constant name," and that ease is absolute. Interestingly, in the Spring and Autumn period, more than 2,000 years ago, when Western thought had not yet been influenced, Zhuang Zi elaborated on the origins of mankind, saying, "A long time ago, bamboo gave birth to Qingning, Qingning gave birth to Cheng, Cheng gave birth to the horse, and the horse gave birth to the human being."
Because Zhuang Zi used the ancient Chu language to refer to animals by their proper names, which translates to: salamanders evolved into shrews, shrews evolved into tree shrews (or squirrels), tree shrews evolved into rhesus monkeys, and rhesus monkeys evolved into humans -- an understanding that is generally consistent with the findings of modern evolutionary biology.
