所谓四大不是一个学术概念，最早来自梁启超写的一首诗。为了反西方，还特意把古希腊等排斥在外。基本算是中国人自娱自乐吧。
Four Great Ancient Civilizations
The "Four Great Ancient Civilizations" (traditional Chinese: 四大文明古國; simplified Chinese: 四大文明古国; pinyin: Sì Dà Wénmíng Gǔ Guó) is a concept frequently used in the study of history in China, referring to the civilizations of ancient China, Babylon, India, and Egypt, seen as the cradle of civilization in the history of humankind. This concept is not universally used and has came under some criticism from Chinese historians in that it does not include some other major ancient civilizations such as Sumer, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Olmec, the Maya civilization, the Chavín culture, etc, etc.
In 1900, Liang Qichao argued that there were four great ancient civilizations in his poem, The Pacific Ocean in the 20th Century (二十世纪太平洋歌). The four civilizations are China, India, Egypt, and Asia Minor. It is an early version of the Four Great Ancient Civilizations. In this essay, Liang Qichao divided the history of the world into three ages: river age, sea age, and ocean age. The four great civilizations were in the river age and all of them developed along rivers.
