Zhengzhou was once one of the capitals of Xia and Shang Dynasties, the capital of Guan, Zheng and Han, and the capital of Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are many types of Yangshao culture and Longshan culture sites in this area, such as Peiligang culture 8000 years ago, Dahecun culture 5000 years ago and Qinwangzhai culture. According to historical records, the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, was born in Xuanyuan Mountain. Some scholars believe that Xuanyuan Mountain refers to xinzheng city, which is now under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou (this view has not been generally recognized by the national authority and China folk scholars). Some scholars believe that Yangcheng (now Dengfeng) is the capital of Xia Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zheng and Han successively established their capitals in Xinzheng (the secondary administrative unit of the Zhou Empire at that time), which lasted for more than 500 years. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Xingyang, Gong, Jing, Xinzheng and other counties were first located in Zhengzhou. Later dynasties set up Xingyang County, North Yuzhou and Yingzhou in Zhengzhou.
