Zhongyuan culture (中原文化) refers to the culture of Zhongyuan, the "Central Plains" of China; centered in much of Henan province and parts of nearby provinces like Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and Shaanxi. It is widely held to be one of the main cradles of modern Chinese civilization. Historically, the region has spent much of the past two millennia being the political core of successive Chinese dynasties, resulting in it having significant cultural influences across the entire East Asia. It is also constantly evolving and changing throughout history.[1][2]
