What are the characteristics of China culture?

China culture has three most remarkable characteristics, namely, it has a long history, is profound and inclusive.

China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, and its cultural origin is reflected in the time dimension. From Xia, Shang, Zhou, Sui, Tang and Song dynasties to Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, China culture has a history of 5,000 years, which still retains the fire of culture in the change of dynasties, and inheritance and innovation coexist and continue to this day.

The cultural connotation is profound, and China culture has experienced many cultural integrations in history. Since Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, books and texts have been on the same track, the barriers between cultures have been broken, and cultural exchanges and integration have taken place in various places, forming a rich and diverse Chinese culture. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xianbei people were gradually sinicized, Xianbei culture and Chinese culture were integrated, and the cultural integration was further promoted by wearing Hanfu, changing Han surname and speaking Chinese. Later, the Yuan Dynasty unified the whole country, and the cultures of different ethnic groups in different regions broke the boundaries of imprisonment and merged together. Many cultural integrations in history have enabled China culture to absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools and be all-encompassing. In the case of China culture, it has rich connotations.

At the same time, the extensive and profound China culture has also brought influence to cultures all over the world. During the Tang Dynasty, a cultural family, Japan and South Korea sent envoys to study China culture, absorb China Chinese characters and etiquette, and transform them into their own culture. Xuanzang Tianzhu learned from the scriptures, while absorbing the Buddhist culture of ancient India, he also brought the traditional culture of China, and the two-way communication enhanced the cultural influence. Jian Zhen went to Japan to spread Buddhism, which contributed to the cultural exchange between China and Japan. The opening of the Silk Road and Zheng He's voyage to the West also spread China culture during the exchange of porcelain, silk and other artifacts.

China has an eclectic culture. No matter in the process of western learning spreading to the east or during the Westernization Movement, China culture took its essence, discarded its dross and critically inherited it with a humble attitude, which made China culture develop better.
