Following the excavation of Hongshan Culture sites like Dongshanzui and Niuheliang in Chaoyang, Liaoning province, in the last century, the study of the origins of Chinese civilization has become a popular topic, especially since the project to trace the origins of Chinese civilization has been pursued and has achieved significant results in the 21st century.

The concept of uniting humanity with the universe is important in traditional Chinese philosophy, and refers to the harmonious unity between the universe and humankind. It reflects the ancient Chinese people's understanding of the relationships between humans and nature, humans and society, and humans and their fellow humans.

From the beginning of Chinese civilization, our ancestors recognized the importance of a relationship with the universe and created a system of rituals to make contact with it.

The study of the origins of Chinese civilization has made remarkable strides, and the findings of the origins of Chinese civilization have also contributed to the study of the origins of world civilization, but there are still many unsolved mysteries that remain to be explored.
