As our neighbor, does China culture have an influence on ancient India?
China's ancient culture has a far-reaching influence on the world, but it is very special to neighboring ancient India. From the cultural point of view, the influence of ancient India on our China culture may be far-reaching, mainly because the introduction of Buddhism has become a major ideological basis of the ancient ruling means in China.

Ancient India paid little attention to historical records because they had many foreign cultures. Including some Islamic cultures, colonial cultures invaded by the West and their own caste-based class cultures. In a word, their ruling class often changes in the long history, and there is no truly orthodox historical record, so their influence on external culture can rarely be written completely objectively and fairly.

Although there is no real summary of China culture in ancient Indian history, it must have brought great influence to China as the most famous Silk Road export destination at that time. For example, according to ancient India, white sugar tea was sent there by China through economic and trade exchanges, and the tulle silk used for early clothes came from China, which had a certain influence on clothing. Even in the history books, it is recorded that the technology of making paper, printing and firing white porcelain in ancient China was spread from China to ancient India. Although it seems that these are daily necessities or specific technologies, in fact, in the underdeveloped social environment at that time, they greatly improved the lives of local people, improved their quality of life, and integrated local cultural characteristics, which have their own inheritance for clothing and tea drinks.

So we can see that they have changed step by step in the long river of history. Although this is not obviously branded with China, it is undeniable that the ancient culture of China had a great influence on ancient India and even the world at that time, and stood at the peak of the world like a lion superstar. In history, few countries can achieve our glory.
