Abstract

[When it comes to “civilization”, anthropology and archaeology hold that human society can be divided into three eras: savagery, barbarism, and civilization. In his work Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, Friedrich Engles points out that “a state is the generalization of a civil society”. Historical documents and archaeological discoveries concerning Chinese civil society dated more than 5000 years ago. Chinese civilization of over 5000 years is featured by its “un-fractured history”, which is unique in the history of world civilization. Such consistency can be reflected in the following aspects: the Chinese genetic heritage, the development of Chinese family names, worship rituals of Huang Di, the capital and mausoleum, Chinese characters, and the core philosophy of “zhong” and “zhong he” lasting for more than 5000 years.]
