Chinese culture is a culture based on Chinese civilization and fully integrating the cultural elements of various regions and ethnic groups across the country. Different from the international attributes of Chinese culture, it can be called "Chinese culture" (the culture of the People's Republic of China). The Eastern civilization system that is deeply influenced by Chinese civilization is called the "Han Cultural Circle", which specifically refers to social ideology and reflects the level of social politics, economy, science and technology. From the inventions and creations of the Paleolithic Age, to Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's reform reforms to Sun Yat-sen's democratic revolution, they are all driving forces for the development of society.
