Features: China has a brilliant ancient civilization. China is one of the cradles of world civilization, with a glorious and long history, being one of the birthplaces of material and spiritual culture in the world. Around 8,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese nation created the prototype of ancient Chinese agricultural civilization on the vast land of the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Huai River basins. Starting from the Xia Dynasty, China entered the slave society. After long-term integration and assimilation, the Central Plains ethnic group and the surrounding ethnic minorities such as the Rong, Di, Man, and Yi formed the splendid civilization of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. At the intersection of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, China began to enter the feudal society. In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang unified China and established the first centralized feudal autocratic state in Chinese history. Through the advancement of the Qin and Han dynasties and the development of the Wei, Jin, Sui, and Tang dynasties, ancient Chinese civilization reached its peak. Looking at the history of world civilizations, no ancient civilization has had a continuous and independent development for thousands of years like China. Through all these inventions and wisdom crystallizations of China, it is not difficult to see the important role of ancient Chinese civilization in the history of world civilization, as well as its great contributions to the promotion and development of world culture.
