Since the Jewish nation entered history, the unique culture it created has gradually developed into a source culture of Western civilization, exerting a profound and significant influence on world civilization, especially on Western society and life. Vertically, Jewish civilization gave birth to Christianity at the beginning of the first millennium two thousand years ago, establishing the dominant position of the Jewish nation's pioneering monotheistic thought in society. By the 14th and 15th centuries, it played a mediating role in the emergence of the European Renaissance. When modernity arrived, it played an irreplaceable role in the advent of capitalism, especially in the development of modern finance and the press. Horizontally, Jewish civilization has exerted a tremendous influence on the culture of all ethnic groups in the contemporary world through the dispersion of the Jewish nation across the world and the widespread spread of Christianity and Islam.
