What development stages did China traditional culture go through?

China's traditional culture has gone through four stages: gestation period, germination period, stereotype period and transition period. China's traditional culture has been interrupted in some short historical periods and changed more or less in different historical periods, but it has not been interrupted on the whole and has not changed much on the whole.

China traditional culture is the general name of national civilization, customs and spirit. The definition of "culture" is often "different people have different opinions". In short, China's traditional culture is dominated by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. They are interdependent, interpenetrating and influencing each other, forming the whole of China traditional culture. The thoughts of these three traditional cultures are collectively called "Three Religions" in China.
