It is generally believed that there are many direct sources of Chinese civilization, among which the Yellow River civilization and the Yangtze River civilization are the main ones. Chinese civilization is the result of the exchange, integration and sublimation of various regional civilizations, which is generally called "multi-source integration" in academic circles.
People's Republic of China (PRC) defined Chinese culture as the cultural confluence of all ethnic groups in China, but as the Han nationality is the main ethnic group of the Chinese nation, Chinese culture has always occupied an absolute dominant position in the history of China, so Chinese culture is the main body of Chinese culture. China culture generally recognized by the outside world is basically China culture.
The "Huaxia State" formed by the integration of Yan Di and Huangdi tribes originated in the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin. The ancients thought that this nation lived in the central position, developed culture and had a long history, so it was called "China".
China culture has a long history, which originated from Chinese civilization. From ancient times to Qin and Han Dynasties, it created culture for China people and developed continuously. After the Han Dynasty, it was defeated by Xianbei and Xianbei after many invasions and rule by northern foreigners. Mongols, Manchus and others ruled China. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, a large number of western cultures were introduced through the Silk Road. China culture has been declining since the end of the Han Dynasty.
It has a long history, although it is comparable to ancient Egypt and Cuba. After about 1000 to 2000, the ancient Indian civilization was formed. Although the rulers of various dynasties in China have changed many nationalities, Chinese culture has continued, so Chinese culture is one of the ancient cultures that have continued to this day.
It is widely spread in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and its influence includes political consciousness, ideology and religion, education and life culture. Its cultural concept is also called "Chinese culture" and "Chinese cultural circle".
