Step into one of the birthplaces of early Chinese civilization — Yanshi Shangcheng Historic Site.
Over 3,000 years ago, this land witnessed the transition from Xia to Shang, the rise of state power, and the emergence of urban life. Its walls, water systems, and palace layout reveal the earliest blueprint of order and imagination in the East.
Together with Professor Zhang Lidong and RSA Fellow Professor Robert Walker, we explore how cities began, how authority formed, and how civilization grew from earth and water.
Archaeology unlocks history; dialogue bridges time. Yanshi Shangcheng Historic Site allows us to see where civilization started — and reflect on the world we live in today.走进中国早期文明现场——偃师商城。三千多年前，这片土地见证夏商更替、权力重构与城市诞生。城墙、水系、宫城规划交织，勾勒出东方文明最初的秩序与想象。
与河南大学张立东教授、英国皇家社会科学院院士罗伯特·沃克同行，在遗址之间追问：城市为何出现？统治如何建立？文明如何在泥土与水之间生长？
考古打开历史，交流跨越时空。偃师商城，让我们看见文明起点，也照见今天的世界。
