The history of more than 8,000 years has created the top ten cultural contexts of Handan.

Zhao culture

The basic connotation of Zhao culture represented by riding and shooting is openness, enterprising and tolerance, which embodies Zhao's spirit of reform and innovation when competing for the Central Plains. She is one of the sources of ancient culture in China, the crystallization of the intersection, integration and sublimation of China culture and northern grassland nomadic culture, which has the duality of China culture in the Central Plains and northern grassland culture, and reflects the process of ethnic conflict and integration in the northern region. She is profound and charming, and is the representative of Handan regional culture. Zhao culture originated in autumn, flourished in the Warring States and continued in the Han Dynasty. It has been flowing in the long river of history, forming its own unique charm. Developed handicrafts such as iron smelting, copper making and pottery making have emerged here, which has formed a prosperous urban commercial trade, nurtured a generation of academic masters such as Xunzi, Gongsun Long and Shen Dao, and emerged a number of heroes such as King Wuling of Zhao, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and Zhao She. It is isomorphic with Yanhuang culture, which forms the big pattern of ancient northern culture in China. The mainstream connotation of Zhao culture is "pioneering and enterprising, competitive and enterprising, eclectic, reform and innovation", and the thoughts of people-oriented, recruiting talents, unity and courage to serve the country are still of great practical significance to our emancipation of the mind and reform and opening up today.

About 6.5438+10,000 kilograms of carbonized millet were also found. Cishan is recognized as the earliest birthplace of grain crops-millet in the world, and also the earliest discovery place of China chicken and Central Plains walnut. The three discoveries of crops "millet" (millet), domestic chicken and walnut (walnut) not only reflect the great contribution made by the ancestors of Cishan to human survival and development in the process of understanding, utilizing and transforming nature, but also rewrite the history of millet farming, domestic chicken domestication and walnut producing areas in China and even the world. Household appliances characterized by ceramic flat-bottomed pots and bird-head legs, farming and threshing tools characterized by stone axes, shovels, millstones and grinding rods, grain pits characterized by rectangular pits, sacrificial relics characterized by pottery and stone tools, etc. , constitutes the unique and rich connotation of magnetic mountain culture.
