Sometimes Hua Feng would be unconsciously in a daze, and at the moment of stopping to think, he recalled everything he had experienced over the years, he didn't know how the world had developed to the way it is now, and the history and culture of more than 5,000 years of Chinese culture had developed into a new form in the current world.

Chinese culture is based on the culture of hundreds of schools of thought as the mainstream, eclectic, blooming, and is an all-round culture. It is also one of the oldest civilizations in the world and the longest lasting civilization in the world.

Summer, Daya. China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and there is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. Hua, Xia Yiya. China is called China, and those who call it China have great etiquette and uniformity. The Chinese are also the place where the wise and wise live. All things are used for the gathering, the sages are taught, the benevolence and righteousness are given, and the poems, books, rituals and music are also used. "Taught by the king, he belongs to China, he is well-dressed, his customs are filial, and he is courteous and righteous, so he is called China."

The ideological core of Chinese culture is Shintoism, etiquette and music, strict distinction between Huayi, and advocating benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. Easy learning is the foundation of Chinese culture.

About 5,000 years ago, many tribes were active in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins in China. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were the famous tribal leaders of the Yellow River valley in ancient Chinese legends, when wars often broke out between tribes. In the east, there is a powerful Chiyou tribe, and according to legend, they use copper as a weapon, and they are extremely brave. The Yellow Emperor tribe united with the Yandi tribe and defeated Chiyou in the Battle of Yilu. From then on, the Yandi and Huangdi tribes formed an alliance, and after long-term development, the future Huaxia (Han) was formed.

The history of the Chinese people, starting with the two emperors of Yan and Huang, followed by the three dynasties of Zhuan, Diyu, Yao, Shun and Xia and Shang. Before the Zhou Dynasty, there was a single name for "Hua" or "Xia". From the Western Zhou Dynasty, the joint name of Hua and Xia appeared.

When the Han Chinese emigrated overseas, they called themselves Chinese, hence the term "Chinese". The term "Chinese" originally referred to the Han nationality, but as Chinese culture expanded to the whole country, the concept of "Chinese" gradually expanded from the original only to the Chinese ethnic group to the surrounding ethnic minorities influenced by Chinese culture. And it has become a synonym for all Chinese people, including "Chinese" and overseas "overseas Chinese".

Huaxia is also known as "Xia", "Zhuxia", also known as "Hua" or "Zhuhua". It is the self-name of the Han people who lived in the Central Plains in ancient times, in order to distinguish the four Yi (Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, Beidi). For example, in the fourteenth year of Xianggong in the "Zuo Biography", Jiang Rong Ziju said: "My Zhurong diet and clothes are not the same as those of Hua, the currency is not comprehensible, and the language is not up to standard. ”

In the Zhou Dynasty, all the people who obeyed the Zhou rites and kept the etiquette and righteousness were called the Chinese, the Chinese, the Xia people, and the Xia people, and they were commonly known as Zhuhua and Zhuxia. In ancient books, "Hua" and "Xia" are regarded as the Central Plains, and "Yi" and "Descent" are regarded as the Quartet. Huaxia is also known as China, Zhongxia, Zhongtu, and China.

Hua and Xia have been used in common with each other, and the two words are synonymous repeatedly, and Hua is Xia. "Zhonghua" is also known as "Zhongxia". For example, Confucius said in the tenth year of the "Zuo Biography": "The descendants do not seek summer, and the razor does not mess with China." The "Hua" here is also "Xia". Confucius regarded "Xia" and "Hua" as synonymous. The status of the characters Hua and Xia in the oracle bone inscription is very high.

The Battle of Hanquan broke out between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor in the Central Plains for the leader of the tribal alliance, and the Yandi tribe was defeated and merged into the Yellow Emperor tribe, and the Yanhuang Alliance began to take shape.

The Yanhuang group was dominated by the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe, and they defeated the Dongyi group and the Miao Man group led by the leader of the Jiuli tribe Chi You in the Battle of Zhuolu, expanding the power of the Huaxia Alliance to today's Shandong, and forming a larger Huaxia tribal alliance with other tribes of the Dongyi group in Shandong, and the origin of the Huaxia tribe was basically fixed. In 2100~770 BC, the Huaxia people successively established the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty.

In 221 BC, the Qin Dynasty put an end to the situation of division since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Han people called themselves Huaxia in the pre-Qin period, and the term "Han people" gradually appeared from the Han Dynasty onwards. But the title Huaxia still continues to this day. Before the twentieth century, the most commonly used term was "Chinese people". For example, the Han Dynasty mostly regarded itself as a "Chinese person", while the Ming Dynasty regarded itself as a "Han person" and a "Chinese person", and the two words were synonymous. In short, the Han and Huaxia ethnic groups as a whole are the most common since the Han Dynasty to the present.

Chinese culture is a culture created by the ancient Han people. Huaxia is an ancient name for both China and the Han Chinese. "Hua" means proud, and "Xia" means the people of China, that is, the people of the Central Plains.

Among the nouns of Chinese culture, the word "culture" means "human culture", and the emphasis is on the "humanistic" aspect, even if it involves the material aspect, it is also one of the carriers of culture that takes materialized things as one of the carriers of culture, or the embodiment of culture, and the pure natural material cannot talk about "culture". The history of human society itself is not culture, but culture is integrated into history.

Where does "humanities" come from? It comes from the imitation of heaven and earth obtained through the observation and perception of astronomy, geography, and all things. Does this emulation emphasize the human element?

Of course, it also includes, because Fu Xi originally created Chinese culture by looking up at astronomy, looking down on geography, beside all things, and taking people closely, but in Chinese culture, people are regarded as things that are one with heaven and earth, so no matter how hard people work, they strive to achieve the natural realm, which is embodied in the realm of doing nothing in terms of social ideals, and in literary creation, it is embodied in the realm of "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving" and "natural".

"Humanities" is mainly embodied in the political punishment of ritual music, especially ritual music. The so-called "transformation" is what to "transform", how to "transform", and "transform" into what. Chinese culture advocates "taking ritual music as the mainstay, supplemented by political punishment" to "transform"; through education, people are imperceptibly transformed; etiquette and music political punishment is manifested as "elegant", while those that do not conform to etiquette and political punishment belong to "vulgarity", therefore, "human culture" is also to transform vulgarity into elegance.

The word "Huaxia" (the combined name of Hua and Xia) was first seen in "Shangshu, Zhoushu, Wucheng": "Huaxia is barbaric, reckless." "Shangshu Justice" said: "The crown dress is a chapter" for the left, it is a glorious one. "Interpretation" cloud: "Summer, Daya." Therefore, the great country is called "Xia Hua".

"Xia" means China. "Zuo Biography" said: "The descendants do not seek summer, and they do not mess with China." Kong Yingda commented: "Xia, Daya." China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and there is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. Hua, Xia Yiya. "Huaxia is called China, and those who are called Huaxia are Xia and Daya.

Words have the greatness of etiquette, and there is the beauty of articles. Mei Yi's "Pseudo-Confucian Biography": "The crown clothes are pretended to be Hua, and the big country is called Xia." This is the original meaning of "Huaxia".

It can be seen that the Huaxia nationality (Han nationality) is based on the beauty of costumes, and the summer is based on the vast territory, cultural prosperity, and prosperity of etiquette and morality. In terms of literal meaning, the word "Hua" has the meaning of beauty, the word "Xia" has a grand meaning, and the original meaning of "Huaxia" has the meaning of civilization. The physical display of the word Huaxia in reality is clothing, etiquette, and classics. The Chinese civilization is an entity that unites the Yanhuang bloodline, the culture of poetry, writing, etiquette, and the Chinese frontier.

Eight thousand years ago, the Chinese civilization was formally formed, and it was geographically consistent with the legendary Fuxi civilization. The Dadiwan site has set six records in China: the earliest specimen of dry crops in China, the earliest painted pottery in China, the earliest prototype of Chinese writing, the earliest palace building in China, the earliest "concrete" ground in China, and the earliest painting in China.

Five or six thousand years ago, the Chinese people learned the agricultural techniques of growing millet. Food gradually became abundant, and there was no longer a shortage of food like the nomads, so that the population of the Huaxia people increased rapidly. As a result, the Huaxia began to expand for living space, plundering land from other ethnic groups in the four directions, and the land competition also took place among Huarong. But what is more attractive to the Chinese is the fertile land in the east that is suitable for farming.

The ancestors of the Huaxia tribe, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, fought for the leader of the tribal alliance in the Central Plains and broke out the Battle of Hanquan, the Yandi tribe was defeated and merged into the Yellow Emperor tribe, and the Yanhuang alliance began to take shape. As a result, the Chinese occupied the Central Plains and began to create Chinese civilization. In the Shandong area further east of the Central Plains, there are many small tribes, known as the Yi people. The Chinese called the Yi people "Dongyi", and the Sanmiao who were driven south were called "Nanban".

Later, the Chinese defeated Chiyou, the leader of the Jiuli tribe of the Dongyi group, in the Battle of Zhuolu, and expanded the alliance's power to today's Shandong. Later, with the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe as the main body, a larger Chinese tribal alliance was formed with some Dongyi tribes in Shandong, and the origin of the Huaxia tribe was basically fixed. In 2100~770 BC, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor group in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River successively established the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the achievements of various schools of thought and scholarship reflected the ancient Greek civilization of the same period, and the three major philosophical systems represented by Confucius, Laozi, and Mozi formed a prosperous situation in which hundreds of schools of thought contended. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the policy of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" was implemented, so that Confucianism, represented by Confucius and Mencius, became orthodox and ruled the Han ideology and culture for more than 2,000 years.

In terms of military theory, as early as the late Spring and Autumn Period, the military masterpiece "The Art of War" was published.

In terms of natural sciences, the achievements of astronomy and mathematics have always attracted the attention of the world, among which Zhang Heng (78~139), Zu Chongzhi (429~500), Yixing (commonly known as Zhang Sui, 683~727), Guo Shoujing (1231~1316) and so on have been recognized as world cultural celebrities.

In terms of literature, the creation of poetry and prose occupies a prominent position, and many writers and works with high artistic achievements have emerged, such as the creation of novels, which have achieved great development in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and have enjoyed great fame in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Water Margin, Confucianism, and Strange Tales from Liao Zhai.

In painting, calligraphy, arts and crafts, music, dance, drama, quyi, etc., there are many famous artists at home and abroad, and they have achieved amazing artistic achievements.

In the development of these arts, it is especially evident that the Han people are good at learning and absorbing the strengths of other ethnic groups in order to develop their art and form a unique style.
