What is the inclusiveness of China's traditional culture?

China culture is very tolerant. The so-called "Huaxia" in Xia and Shang Dynasties actually only refers to the Central Plains region of the Yellow River basin such as Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong and Hebei. At present, the scope of "Han" culture is far greater than this region, and it is formed through constant tolerance and absorption.

Many residents in northern China were called "Hu people" in ancient times, and many musical instruments we use today also come from western regions, such as "Hu Qin". But later, they all gradually became a part of the Chinese nation and culture.

The inclusiveness of China culture is unique. Almost all other civilizations in the world were destroyed after being invaded by foreign countries, while Chinese civilization was constantly developing in the process of being invaded by foreign countries. Xianbei people and Mongols were assimilated after conquering the Central Plains. After Manchu ruled China, they even used Chinese characters.

At the beginning, it was the "closed door" policy implemented in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, the Westernization School learned western technology, and then Sun Yat-sen learned western systems and established the Republic of China.

In this learning process, China was oppressed by western powers. At that time, Marxism spread to China, which advocated the equality and liberation of human beings. * * Producer International also proposed to combine the socialist revolution with the national independence and people's liberation of the colonies. These ideas have been welcomed by the people of China.

Tolerance is the characteristic and advantage of China traditional culture;

The Chinese nation has long understood the historical responsibility of culture going global. National culture is a unique symbol that distinguishes a nation from other nations. Among the four major civilizations in the world, only the Chinese civilization has been continuously and orderly inherited. The fundamental reason lies in the inclusiveness of Chinese culture, which is a major feature and advantage of Chinese culture.

This feature and advantage make Chinese culture endless and inclusive, and transform the good things in various cultures into their own. The blood of culture is not interrupted by separation and integration, which embodies the cohesion and assimilation of Chinese culture. History has proved that not only foreign cultures will be assimilated by Chinese civilization, but also other nationalities occupying and ruling the Central Plains will be assimilated under the influence of cultural forces.
