Chinese culture
Unfamiliarity with the western world,
Chinese
government,
institutions,
enterprises and mass media did not make
efforts to introduce our culture to the
Western society. Research has repeatedly
found that most westerners are unaware of
the present conditions of China.

Some biased reports about China on
Western dominated media, there exists
some misunderstanding of Chinese culture
and certain steretype of Chinese image in
their minds. Some western countries are
trying to demonize China for complicated
reasons.

中国文化通览（General
Survey）
中国文化是一个历史的范畴，它经历了5000
年的发展才形成了今天的面貌，底蕴厚重，
博大精深。中国文化在某种程度上指的是传
统文化。同时，它又是一个民族的范畴，在
长期的相对独立的发展以及中外文化的冲撞
交流中，以我为主，中国文化形成了自己的
特色，卓然立于世界民族文化之林，成为东
方民族文化的主要代表。

Chinese culture belongs to the historical category, having
undergone 5000-year development before it turns into
today’s splendid sight, bothe extensive and profund. To
some extent it indicates the Chinese tradition. Meanwhile it
can be relegated to the national category. After a long
process of relatively independent developoment followed
by the collision and exchange afterwards between China
and foreign countries, the Chinese culture assumed unique
characteristics, became an outsttanding member in the
brilliant global falmily of national cultures, and grew to be a
main representative of Oriental national culltures.
