China, located in East Asia, is a unified multi-ethnic country with Chinese civilization as the main body, Chinese culture as the foundation, and the Han nationality as the main ethnic group. Chinese is the common language. All ethnic groups within the territory of China are collectively called the Chinese nation, and the dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation.
China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world and has a long history. About 5,000 years ago, settlement organizations began to appear in the Central Plains region as the center and then became countries and dynasties. After that, they have undergone many evolutions and changes. Dynasties changed, and the longer-lasting dynasties include Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. Throughout history, the Central Plains dynasties continued to interact and fight with the nomadic peoples of the north, and many ethnic groups merged to form the Chinese nation. After the Revolution of 1911 in the early 20th century, China's monarchy withdrew from the stage of history and was replaced by a political system. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the People's Congress system of government was established in mainland China. China has a colorful folk culture. Traditional art forms include poetry, opera, calligraphy, and traditional Chinese painting. The Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Ninth Festival are important traditional festivals in China.
