What is the fundamental reason why Chinese civilization has not disappeared like the other three ancient civilizations?

We know that there are actually four ancient civilizations in human history, namely, ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient India and ancient Babylonian civilization, all of which have made brilliant achievements in the history of human civilization and are admired by the world.

However, up to now, we find that except for our Chinese civilization, the other three ancient civilizations have all disappeared cleanly, which not only makes people sigh, but also makes people wonder why only the ancient Chinese civilization has survived.

To answer this question, we can look at how other ancient civilizations disappeared. Throughout the three civilizations, we will find an almost identical reason. Foreign invasion led to the disappearance of this civilization. Egypt was invaded and occupied by Assyria, Babylon, Persia and other empires. The most primitive Egyptian civilization has been assimilated, and the ancient Egyptians have long been extinct. However, the ancient Indian civilization was conquered by white Aryans, which made all the indigenous people in India become untouchables and established a caste system. Later, India's land constantly changed rulers, while the ancient Indian civilization disappeared. The ancient Babylonian civilization was completely changed by the later Islamic culture, and even the race was completely changed.

Compared with these three civilizations, in fact, our Chinese civilization has suffered similar disasters. For example, during the May 4th Movement in China, the north fell, the Liao State was established by the Khitans, the Jin State was established by the Jurchen, the Yuan Dynasty was established by the Mongols, the Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchu, and the Japanese invaded. But the real situation we see is that no matter who will be the home of the flower shop, the tradition of the flower shop has never been broken. This is the most terrible thing of Chinese civilization-assimilation!

Our Chinese civilization can assimilate almost all other human civilizations, which is simply an open existence. No matter how many people there are and how strong their opponents are, they will eventually integrate into Chinese civilization. Who can object to this? Then why does Chinese civilization have such ability? We know that many civilizations believe in this religion, which belongs to God, and we in China have only believed in one thing since ancient times-ancestors!

Every China person, no matter where he goes, who he is with and what kind of life he lives, will never forget who his ancestors are and tell everyone that he is a descendant of the Chinese people. This is something that flows in the bones of everyone in China and China, and it is precisely because of its existence that things have changed. No matter what happens, as long as there is a descendant of China, Chinese civilization will not be broken!
