The five outstanding features of Chinese civilization include: continuity, innovation, unity, tolerance and peace.
1, continuity
Understanding China from a long history: Through the continuous efforts of several generations of scholars and the research results of major projects such as the Chinese civilization traceability project, it proves the millions of years of human history, 10,000 years of cultural history and 5,000 years of civilized history in China, answers the questions of "Who am I" and "Where am I from", and nourishes the cultural self-confidence of all China people.
Looking at the road at the foot of China today from the long-standing historical continuity: the excellent continuity of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must go its own way.
2. Innovation and innovation
"Bring forth the old and bring forth the new", "Although Zhou is an old country, it is a new one", "The new is new and the day is new" ... These allusions in ancient books all contain innovative and enterprising ideas.
The Chinese nation is an innovative nation. On science and technology, the Chinese nation is "superior to nature, superior to nature". From the Han Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, China's science and technology has been in an advanced position in the world and made great contributions to human civilization. Looking at culture, from pre-Qin philosophers to Confucian Classics in Han Dynasty, Metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty and Yangming's Philosophy of Mind all contain the inheritance, absorption, integration, summary, deepening development and transformation of the previous culture, which makes China culture endless and full of twists and turns.
Step 3 be consistent
A history of China is a history in which all ethnic groups blend and converge into a pluralistic Chinese nation, and a history in which all ethnic groups jointly create, develop and consolidate a unified great motherland. The glory of Qin and Han Dynasties, the weather of Tang Dynasty and the prosperous times of Kang and Gan are all the history created jointly by all ethnic groups. The strength of the ship is in the sail, and the strength of the people is in the heart. In the deep blending, you have me and I have you, "hugging together like pomegranate seeds."
4. Inclusiveness
The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, with vivid colored sculptures and exquisite murals, still glow with charming legendary beauty after thousands of years of vicissitudes, witnessing the convergence of multiculturalism and the exchange and mutual learning between eastern and western civilizations. Looking outward, four great inventions of ancient china has made an indelible and outstanding contribution to the dissemination and exchange of world scientific and cultural achievements.
5. Peace
