This resilience is first manifested in language.
At the beginning of its origin, most characters in the world had pictographic elements. However, after thousands of years of wind and rain changes, only Chinese characters have largely retained most of the characteristics of hieroglyphics. Even Oracle Bone Inscriptions, thousands of years ago, has many similarities with modern Chinese characters in morphology, which obviously embodies the "blood relationship" of the same strain. Although Chinese has many dialects and diverse systems, it also clearly reflects the context of inheritance. In particular, some dialects have inherited the simple ancient rhyme and vividly described the resilience of civilization.
Although there are obvious differences between modern Chinese and ancient Chinese, it is not uncommon for modern people to quote one or two sentences of ancient Chinese when they speak. The famous sentences in the Book of Songs two thousand years ago still moisten the sweetness of modern people's love, and the sadness of parting in Tang poetry and Song poetry still sustains modern people's sadness from time to time. Even people with little education, proverbs and slang that people are familiar with, often sparkle with wisdom for thousands of years.
Civilization is like a river, starting from a trickle and merging from a small stream into a huge stream. On the road of civilized development, when encountering resistance, we will "be unyielding", even if we turn around a thousand times, we will not change our original intention and move forward firmly. If there is a high mountain blocking it, go around it, and if there is sediment blocking it, take it away. Maybe the river will change color or seem to change direction for a while, but this river is this river after all. Even if it is swallowed up by sediment for a while and turned into an undercurrent, it will eventually become stronger and unstoppable. "The knife cuts off water and flows more", and Shui Rou grows stronger, which means the resilience of civilization and the resilience of Chinese civilization.
Throughout the history of China, from the "five disorderly flowers" to the rise and fall of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, and the arduous anti-Japanese national salvation, almost every time, the mainstream Chinese culture of Chinese civilization was devastated, and every time, civilization fully showed enough resilience. Nothing shows the resilience of civilization better than the critical moment when it is threatened. No matter how strong the external shock is, the consequences are not severance and extinction, but integration, integration and continued development. Whether it is the beauty of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the grace of Chinese culture, or the arrogance of the children of the Eight Banners, of course, all the sad songs and triumphs in the anti-Japanese beacon smoke are part of the Chinese civilization that we have passed down now.
All this is also the cornerstone of Chinese civilization in the future.
The world is a diversified world, and the earth is home to many cultures and civilizations. Civilization will also develop slowly in constant collision and extrusion. Conflicts and crises, in the history of civilization development, will be as normal as encountering high mountains and dangerous beaches on the way to a running river. "If you don't see how the water of the Yellow River moves out of heaven, you will never return to the sea." Chinese civilization has broken through many dangers in the past and will continue to develop and progress in the future. It is precisely because of the resilience of civilization!
