Henan boasts a rich history as the birthplace of Han Chinese civilization, with over 3,200 years of recorded history. It served as China’s cultural, economic, and political hub until about 1,000 years ago. Its fertile plains and central location in the country were the source of its economic prosperity. However, Henan’s central location in China has led to it being affected by many of the country’s major wars. Also, over the years, the Yellow River has caused damage to the area through frequent flooding.
