1. Making fire and borrowing sun: the vitality and hope of the Central Plains
"Making fire and borrowing the sun" symbolizes the vitality and hope of life, just like the Yellow River in the Central Plains, running endlessly and nourishing all things. Henan is located in the Central Plains and has been the core area of Chinese civilization since ancient times. Emperor Yan established his capital in Shangqiu, Henan, and Emperor Huang was born in Zhengzhou, Henan, and established his capital in Xinzheng, Zhengzhou. This is not only the birthplace of the ancestors of China, but also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
The history of Henan is an epic full of vitality and hope. From the establishment of the Xia Dynasty to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, Henan has always been the political, economic and cultural center. Ancient capitals such as Luoyang, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou and Anyang have witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties. These cities are like burning flames, lighting up the path forward of Chinese civilization with the sunshine of history.
Henan's culture is also like "making fire and borrowing yang", full of vitality and creativity. From Cangjie's creation of Chinese characters to Xu Shen's compilation of "Shuowen Jiezi", from the Four Great Inventions to Shaolin Martial Arts, Henan's cultural achievements are like bright stars, shining in the sky of history. These cultural treasures not only bring endless glory to Henan, but also inject powerful impetus into the inheritance and development of Chinese civilization.
