'''Zhongyuan''' ({{Lang-zh|c=中原|p=|s=|t=}}) or the '''Central Plains''' are [[plain]]s in the middle of China. It is southwest of [[Beijing]]. The [[Yellow River]] goes through it. It is where [[Chinese civilization]] originated from.

It is part of the [[North China Plain]].

Since the beginning of recorded history, the Central Plain had central importance to the Middle Kingdom (China 中国).

It was considered the “[[Sinocentrism|Center of the World]]”. It was the capital of the [[Xia dynasty]]. The earliest Chinese writing, the [[Jiahu symbols]] and [[Jiagu writing]] came from here.

''Zhongyuan'' is sometimes used to refer to all of Chinese civilization.
