History of China

One of the countries that can boast of an ancientcivilization, has a long and mysterious history - almost5,000 years of it! Like most other great civilizations of the world, China can trace her culture back to a blendof small original tribes which have expanded till they

became the great country we have today. It is recorded that Yuanmou man is the oldest

hominoid in China and the oldest dynasty is XiaDynasty. From the long history of China, thereemerge many eminent people that have contributed a

lot to the development of the whole country and tothe enrichment of her history. Among them, there are

emperors like Li Shimin (emperor Taizong of theTang), philosophers like Confucius, great patrioticpoets like Qu Yuan and so on.

Chinese society has progressed through five majorstages - Primitive Society, Slave Society, FeudalSociety, Semi-feudal and Semi-colonial Society, andSocialist Society. The rise and fall of the greatdynasties forms a thread that runs through Chinese

history, almost from the beginning. Since the foundingof the People's Republic of China on October 1st,1949, China has become a socialist society and

become stronger and stronger.

Culture of china

Today there are 56 distinct recognized ethnic groups in

China.[3]

 In terms of numbers however, Han Chinese is by far 

the largest group. Throughout history, many groups have

merged into neighboring ethnicities or disappeared. At the

same time, many within the Han identity have maintained

distinct linguistic and regional cultural traditions. The

term Zhonghua Minzu has been used to describe the notion

of  Chinese nationalism in general[citation needed ]. Much of thetraditional identity within the community has to do with

distinguishing the family name. Traditional Chinese Culture

covers large geographical territories, where each region is

usually divided into distinct sub-cultures. Each region is often

represented by three ancestral items. For 

example Guangdong is represented by chenpi, aged

ginger  and hay.[4][5]

Others include ancient cities like Lin'an(Hangzhou), which include tea leaf , bamboo

shoot trunk and hickory nut.[6]

 Such distinctions give rise to the

old Chinese proverb:

"十里不同風,百里不同俗/十里不同风,百里不同俗" (Shí lǐ 

bùtóng fēng, bǎi lǐ bùtóng sú), literally "the wind varies within

ten li , customs vary within a hundred li .""

Economy of China

 After the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, China underwent aperiod of instability and disrupted economic activity. During

the Nanjing decade (1927 –1937), China advanced in anumber of industrial sectors, in particular those related to themilitary, in an effort to catch up with the west and prepare for war with Japan. The Second Sino-Japanese War  (1937 –1945) and the following Chinese civil war  caused the collapseof the Republic of China and formation of the People'sRepublic of China.

The Republican era was a period of turmoil. From 1913 to1927, China disintegrated into regional warlords, fighting for authority and causing misery and disrupting growth. After 1927, Chiang Kai-shek managed to reunify China. TheNanjing decade was a period of relative prosperity despite

civil war and Japanese aggression. The government began tostabilize tax collection, establish a national budget, sponsor the construction of infrastructure such as communications andrailroads, and draw up ambitious national plans, some of which were implemented after 1949. In 1937, the Japaneseinvaded and laid China to waste in eight years of war. The era

also saw boycott of Japanese products. After 1945, theChinese civil war further devastated China and led to thewithdrawal of the Nationalist government to Taiwan in 1949.Yet the economist Gregory Chow summarizes recent

scholarship when he concludes that "in spite of politicalinstability, economic activities carried on and economicdevelopment took place between 1911 and 1937," and "inshort, modernization was taking place." Up until 1937, hecontinues, China had a market economy which was"performing well," which explains why China was capable of returning to a market economy after economic reform startedin 1978.
