What are the advantages of China's traditional culture compared with foreign countries?

Let's start with ancient India. Although ancient India ranks among the four ancient civilizations, it lags far behind China's traditional culture.

Sanskrit is the earliest written language in ancient India, and it was not originally created in ancient India. But after the Aryans from the Caucasus conquered India, they brought Aryan characters to India and combined them with the local language. China's writing was originally created in China.

There is basically no written record of ancient Indian history in India now. Studying the history of ancient India can only rely on the records of ancient India by people from other countries. For example, Xuanzang, a monk of China in the Tang Dynasty, wrote The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang, which is an important document for studying the history of ancient India.

The ancient Indian history of modern India is only based on epics, foreign documents, ancient relics and conjectures. It is not rigorous without reliable literature. Compared with the detailed records of ancient historical materials in China, this is a world of difference.

The ancient history of China began to be recorded in the period of the Yellow Emperor five thousand years ago. In the history of China, every dynasty set up a special historian to record the history and provide reference for the development of future generations. Especially since the Han Dynasty, China has rich and detailed historical records.

China is rich in historical materials, which is unmatched by any country in the world. China is a country in the world that attaches great importance to learning from historical experience.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and ancient Babylonian scripts were used to offer sacrifices to and communicate with gods. China's ancient characters were used to record history when they were invented during the Yanhuang period. Later it was gradually used to record life. It shows that China traditional culture pays more attention to practicality than them.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions in ancient China has reached about 5,000 words in Shang Dynasty. At the same time, the ancient Chinese characters in Egypt and the two river basins are only 1500. The richness of China characters corresponds to the richness of ancient culture in China at that time.

The Book of Songs in ancient China consists of 3 1 1 poems with 38,000 words. China's book The Book of Songs alone has surpassed the sum of all historical materials left by the West.

Greece discovered a cultural site in its territory 200 years ago, only to know that it was an ancient civilization. Because there is no record of an ancient civilization in their existing historical materials.

Compared with other countries, China's traditional culture has many unique advantages.
