China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world with a long history. About 5000 years ago, settlement organizations began to appear with the Central Plains as the center, and then formed a country. After many ethnic exchanges and dynasty changes, the unified situation of multi-ethnic countries was finally formed. After the Revolution of 1911 in the early 20th century, the imperial system withdrew from the historical stage, and the * * * and political power were established. 1949 after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's congress system was established in Chinese mainland.
China has a vast territory and many nationalities. The Chinese nation in the pre-Qin period thrived in the Central Plains. In the Han Dynasty, the Han nationality was formally formed through cultural blending, which laid the foundation for the main ethnic group in China. Later, through blending with neighboring nationalities, the situation of a unified multi-ethnic country was gradually formed, and the population was also rising. The population of China in Song Dynasty exceeded 1 100 million, and that in Qing Dynasty exceeded 400 million. By 2005, the population of China has exceeded1300 million.
China's culture has a long history, profound and colorful. It is the cultural suzerain of East Asian cultural circle and occupies an important position in the world cultural system. Due to the differences in geographical location and natural conditions, humanities and economy also have their own characteristics. Traditional cultural and artistic forms include poetry, opera, calligraphy and Chinese painting, among which Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival are important traditional festivals in China.
