How did Chinese culture come about?Sinology, a long-standing culture, is a treasure of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, which carries 5,000 years of historical accumulation and has witnessed the rise and fall of a nation. So, how is Chinese culture formed?Let's explore this age-old mystery together. 
1. Ancient times: the germ of culture.
In ancient times, the ancestors of the Chinese nation gradually formed some primitive moral concepts, customs and Xi religious beliefs in the long-term practice of production and life. These concepts and beliefs laid the foundation for the later formation of Chinese culture. For example, the Bagua Doctrine founded by Fu Xi was one of the earliest philosophical ideas, and it had a profound impact on later generations.
2. Xia, Shang and Zhou periods: the accumulation of culture.
During the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the Chinese nation entered a slave society. During this period, with the development of the productive forces and the intensification of class contradictions, various cultural ideas began to emerge. Classics such as "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu" and "Book of Rites" are cultural treasures of this period. These writings not only reflected the political, economic, and religious content of the time, but also had a profound impact on later generations. Therefore, the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods can be said to be the formative stage of Chinese studies.
3. Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period: The Prosperity of Culture.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was an era full of change and innovation in the history of our country. During this period, hundreds of schools of thought emerged one after another, and various schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, Moism, and Legalism competed to develop, forming the first situation in the history of our country. The ideological concepts and moral concepts of these schools of thought have provided rich nourishment for the formation of Chinese studies. For example, Confucius's way of benevolence, Laozi's Taoist thought, and Mozi's love and non-aggression have all become important parts of Chinese culture.
Fourth, the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties: the integration of cultures.
The period of the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was an era of great ethnic integration in the history of our country. During this period, various cultural exchanges became more and more frequent, and various cultural ideas influenced and integrated with each other. For example, Dong Zhongshu during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty combined Confucianism with Taoism and put forward the concept of "the unity of heaven and man".After Buddhism was introduced to China, it also blended with Taoism and Confucianism. All these have created favorable conditions for the formation of Chinese culture.
5. Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties: cultural inheritance and development.
The Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of a feudal society in the history of our country. During this period, various cultural ideas were fully developed and inherited. For example, famous literati and scholars such as Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, and Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty all made outstanding contributions in the field of Confucianism. In addition, various literary and artistic forms such as poetry and opera** have also been unprecedentedly developed. All these have provided a solid foundation for the formation of Chinese culture.
