Sima Qian believed that Huangdi was the pioneer of the revolutionary country,which has been confirmed by the results of the Chinese Civilization Exploration Project.Huangdi has been widely recognized as a historical hero in histo-ry,but his specific birthplace and relatively accurate time of his initial rise has been always hard for historians to clarify.The existing research is likely to approach the historical scene and present its original appearance,and particularly the archaeolog-ical discoveries at the Geda River and Nanzuo ruins in the Wei River Basin of Gansu Province provide us with the latest sci-entific basis for decoding the early rise of Huangdi and the gradual expansion of the country and the establishment of the cap-ital.They are of great significance for the formation of Huangdi culture and the development of Chinese civilization.
