Answer:

Why is the Chinese civilization 5000 years, not 4000 or 3000 years? This is what we most want to know. "5,000 years of Chinese civilization" is partly the result of cultural identity and ethnic identity. Most ancient Chinese documents put the beginning of history and humanities in the "Era of the Five Emperors", and gradually specified the "Five Emperors" as and Shun. The respect and sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor are recognized by all dynasties in different eras. But if this recognition is specific to a node of time or age, or it is believed that "5,000 years of Chinese civilization" became popular only in modern times. During the Revolution of 1911, in order to fight against the Qing Revolution, people with lofty ideals vigorously advocated the Yellow Emperor's calendar and calculated the Yellow Emperor's era one after another.
