Why is Chinese culture said to be multicultural when we are a unified country?

The plurality of Chinese culture is determined by many aspects.

First of all, China is a multi-ethnic country. China has 56 nationalities, and all 56 nationalities are constantly developing, and in the process of development, they are quite distinctive, forming the unique culture of each nationality. More ethnic groups, then the culture created is also more rich, each ethnic group has its own origin and development. In the long-term historical evolution of the accumulation of knowledge, through the condensation of sublimation will be more complete traditional culture presented in front of us. The culture of these ethnic minorities is very different, also because of the geographical environment of different regions. So these cultures of each ethnic group are different. Composed together they present such a characteristic of the diversity of Chinese culture.

Secondly, on the land of China, our country has a very vast area with great differences between the north and the south. From the south to the north of the different geographical environment, living environment also shaped the different national character national culture. This is due to the natural conditions of the decision, it is because of the diversity of these regional cultures, each region formed by the characteristics of these cultures differ greatly. The customs of different regions are formed over a long period of time, it is difficult to achieve national integration, even if the country is unified, the diversity of national cultures is a long-standing historical problem. In the course of history, we have also seen that cultural integration is difficult to achieve. Although the country has been unifying, it is very difficult to achieve cultural unity. Even though a number of ethnic minorities have engaged in intercultural learning and exchanges, they have not been able to fundamentally change the diversity of their ethnic groups. What we see now is that these diverse cultures are the cultural treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Because of the diversity of our nationalities and the vastness of China, we see the diversity of national cultures.
