Chinese culture created a splendid civilization in ancient times, and has been continuously inherited and innovated until now. After the modern Western culture was introduced to China since the Ming Dynasty, and had an important impact on the society in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, in which the modern science and technology formed in the West pushed forward the progress of Chinese culture, and the culture formed in the West, such as the concept of democratic politics and Marxist-Leninist ideology, also brought a great influence to China.

To summarize, it can be said that from the ancient times to Qin and Han, the Chinese people created culture and continued to develop the period; since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is the period of decline of Chinese culture. In mainland China, with the gradual rise of the market economy after the reform and opening up, the revival of traditional Chinese culture and the democratization of politics have become a social trend.
