Look at Egypt and Iraq now. They were ruled by foreigners, brainwashed by cults, and completely abandoned the splendid civilization of their ancestors. It's a shame for them. In fact, China culture is not without the crisis of extinction. When the "Five Chaos" broke out in China, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jiejie, Qiang, Biandi and Han nationalities fought against each other. Who's the last one left? The first is Xianbei, which is easy to understand, because the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty became the rulers of northern China, and they were all Xianbei people; The second is the Han nationality. The Han people, who have always been weak, survived after the Huns, Jie, Qiang, Di and other ethnic minorities were all killed, and they are still the main ethnic groups. . So that Emperor Xiaowen wants to carry out the sinicization reform, and it depends on the Han people.
Other ancient civilizations were places of four wars, which were washed back and forth by various foreign enemies, and not only a few ancient civilizations, but also many powerful countries were washed away for thousands of years. China has the sea in the east and mountains in the west, with high latitude in the north and poor living conditions. On the whole, the geographical barrier determines that it is difficult for other powerful civilizations on the Eurasian continent to get involved easily. However, China itself has a large geographical scale and a large population. After forming a unified culture, it has a huge volume advantage compared with the external culture. Even if the political power is taken over by the government, the culture can continue.
That is, China culture has been very open for a long time and can absorb the essence of foreign races and cultures. Just look at the foreign food, furniture and musical instruments. Without the tempering of China culture, Buddhism would not become one of the three major religions in the world.
Unified measurement, the unification of Chinese characters contributes a lot. Look at Europe, there are so many languages, and there is no way to unify them. How can it last for thousands of years?
Coupled with the overwhelming cultural and demographic advantages of Han culture to the surrounding areas, it is simply a nightmare for the surrounding civilizations.
Ancient China was relatively closed in geography, advanced in culture and large in population, so it survived again and again.
1, China's geographical environment is superior, relatively independent and closed, and its self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy is very dominant, so there will be many people engaged in literature and its creation, which will inevitably produce many good works that can stand the test of time; In ancient China, farming civilization always dominated, and China had the Yellow River, so the development of civilization must involve rivers, such as the Ganges in ancient India and the Nile in ancient Egypt.
2. Matter determines consciousness. Because China has always existed, its culture as a material accessory will also spread.
China managed many wars in ancient times. During the war, the Han nationality and many Chinese fir nationalities will come into contact with each other and their cultures will collide. The result of the collision will be the survival of the fittest, which will also enable China to add many works that can stand the test of time.
4. China's ancient culture mostly served the rulers, such as Confucian culture, so it was bound to be supported by the rulers.
5. China has a lot of comments on estimation, such as various exegesis, elegant, explaining words and so on. So it is very helpful for modern people to learn ancient books.
Mainly the feudal autocracy in China for more than 2000 years! Cultural inheritance!
In addition, every dynasty in China has well-written history books. In order to draw lessons from past dynasties, China's traditional culture has been largely preserved!
Ancient Egypt, Babylon and India all lost their independence because of foreign invasion, which interrupted ancient civilization.
Historically, India has been invaded by foreign forces, and most intruders often don't want to leave after entering. For example, at the end of 16, western powers expanded eastward, and the Netherlands, Portugal, France and Britain all invaded this country. Therefore, Indian culture is deeply influenced by foreigners and is not easy to preserve!
The same is true of ancient Egypt, which began in more than 4000 BC and ended in 332 BC when it was conquered by Alexander the Great.
BC 1595, ancient Babylon was destroyed by the Hittites.
Our motherland is not only one of the ancient civilizations in the world, but also the only country with an uninterrupted civilization tradition in the world. For a long time, our motherland has been the pioneer of world civilization, leading the development trend of world civilization. The ancient working people in China created splendid ancient civilization, which made our motherland one of the earliest countries with developed culture in the world, and made great contributions to the progress of world civilization, which fully proved that our Chinese nation is a wise nation and a great nation with particularly vigorous vitality.
