The most important feature of traditional Chinese culture is that its dominant position has long been occupied by the values of Confucian ethical culture. For five thousand years, from the primitive peoples of China down to modern society, Confucian ethical culture has been at the core of Chinese culture, and it still influences the way the Chinese people think and behave.
