Historical evolution

5,000 years ago, Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of Chinese civilization, was born and established his capital in Zhengzhou. ?

In ancient times, Zhengzhou belonged to Yuzhou among the nine states. ?

In the early Xia Dynasty, Emperor Shun granted Yu the capital and established the Xia Dynasty in Yangcheng (today's Dengfeng Wangchenggang site), as Xia Bo. Later, the Xia Dynasty moved its capital to Yangzhai (now Yuzhou, Xuchang). In the thirty-third year of Emperor Shun's reign, he abdicated the throne of Emperor to Yu. Seventeen years later, Shun died during his southern tour. After three years of mourning, Yu took refuge in Yangcheng and gave up the throne to Shun's son Shangjun. Legend has it that all the princes in the world left Shangjun to meet King Yu. With the support of the princes, Yu officially assumed the throne and the country was named "Xia".

3,600 years ago, the Shang Dynasty, China’s second slaveholding dynasty, established its capital here as the founding capital of the country, Bodu. Today, the 7-kilometer-long Shang Dynasty city wall remains in the central city. Wairen, Zhongding's second brother, still established his capital here. Zhongding's third brother He Danjia moved his capital from Xiaohao (today's Shangcheng, Zhengzhou) to Xiang (today's Anyang).
