Debate: A long history is a driving force for cultural innovation, please elaborate and give appropriate examples

I believe the example used by the pro side is China (China has 5000 years of civilization), while the con side may use the United States (the United States is less than 300 years old).

We could, firstly, use China as an example to argue that "long history is the driving force behind cultural innovation". There are many examples of this, such as the emergence of Confucianism and Taoism, and the evolution of Buddhism in China. For example, the development of reform and opening up in the past 30 years, and cultural innovation. You can receive many examples yourself, especially the cultural splendor of China during the Republican period, which should be mentioned in particular.

Second, pay special attention to the idea of cultural development in the United States, as this may be the focus of your counterattack. Although the United States is less than 300 centuries old, it has produced a culture of unprecedented splendor on its soil. Can we say that a long history is not a driver of cultural innovation? Of course not. Because American cultural innovation is still based on a long history of civilizations, including European, American, and Eastern civilizations. That's what makes your argument even more compelling. For example, the success of Kung Fu Panda is rooted in traditional Chinese culture. Keep the discussion going.
