Introduction

Henan is the cradle of the Chinese nation and civilization and birthplace of the Yellow Emperor, common ancestor of all Han Chinese. It's the place where the ancient Silk Road began in the East and home for all Chinese. Throughout the 5000-year history of the Chinese civilization, Henan has been the country's political, economic and cultural center for over 3000 years. Of the top eight ancient capitals in China, four are located in Henan, and 73 of the 100 most common Chinese surnames originate in the province.

As the most populous province in China, Henan has a large population, abundant human resources and vast consumption market. Ideally located, the province serves as the country's transport hub, and center for human resources, logistics and information. It's the breadbasket and major food processor of China and takes the lead in agriculture as the country's primary producer of grain and agricultural products. It develops rapidly and represents a major provincial economy in China with flourishing emerging industries. The province is also a front-runner of opening up in inland China with a GDP ranking 5th in the country.

In recent years, many state-level initiatives have been launched in Henan, including the Rise of Central China and Ecological Conservation and High-Quality Development of the Yellow River Basin. Henan gains an increasingly important position in China's balanced development and opening up, presenting enormous opportunities to unlock its potential. Going forward, Henan will follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, continue to promote high quality development, and play an active role in Ecological Conservation and High-Quality Development of the Yellow River Basin and the Rise of Central China in an endeavor to to write a new chapter of a more splendid Henan in a new era.
