河洛文化

河洛文化

河洛地区是黄河与洛水相交汇的广大区域。河洛文化即以河洛地区为中心、从上古时期至北宋时期的传统文化。

在河洛大地上，从新石器时代早期的裴李岗文化（距今约8000年）开始，到仰韶文化、河南龙山文化，再到夏文化，连绵不绝，一脉相承。其国都文化连绵不断，中国古代的许多重要都城均在河洛文化圈内。河洛文化博大精深，内涵丰富，以“河图洛书”为标志，以夏商周文化为主干，以汉魏唐宋为内容，以古都洛阳所凝聚的文化精华为核心，以“河洛郎”为特征，文化传承范围广泛，文化内涵不断丰富延伸。

河洛文化是中华文明的摇篮文化，是数千年来中国传统文化的主体，因而在中国古代文化史上举足轻重。河洛文化强化了世界华夏儿女对中华传统文化的认同感，是海内外华人的民族血脉和精神纽带，具有显著的源头性、根脉性。2020年，中国设立了“河洛文化生态保护实验区”，以保护非物质文化遗产为核心加强河洛文化生态保护。

Heluo Culture

The Heluo region is the area where the Yellow River meets the Luoshui River, and the Heluo culture refers to the mainstream culture prevailing at this confluence that spanned a long period from time immemorial to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1126).

The Heluo region is the cradle of a continuous stream of ancient cultures, from the Peiligang Culture in the early Neolithic Age (about 8,000 years ago) to the Yangshao Culture, the Longshan Culture, and the Xia Culture, with many capital cities built here. The rich and profound Heluo culture has a wealth of highlights, such as Hetu and Luoshu, the cultures of the Xia, the Shang, and the Zhou dynasties all the way to the Han, the Wei, the Tang, and the Song dynasties, the amazing city of Luoyang that served as the capital of multiple dynasties, and the Heluo migrants to Fujian Province and other places in southern China. They have enriched the Heluo culture in breadth and depth.

As the cradle of the Chinese civilization and the backbone of the traditional Chinese culture, the Heluo culture occupies a pivotal position in China's cultural history. It helps enhance the Chinese people's identification with their traditional culture and holds them together with a shared cultural root. In 2020, an experimental zone was set up for ecological protection of the Heluo culture as an intangible cultural heritage.
