The Cultural Code of an Unbroken Civilization

Xiao Huang: Why has Chinese civilization endured uninterrupted for five thousand years?

DOORM: The core lies in its cultural character of being “open, inclusive, and reconstructive.” This character has enabled the civilization to integrate diverse ideas at critical historical junctures (e.g., the Western Zhou synthesis of the Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Yin-Yang, and the Five Elements) and to constantly renew itself, thereby adapting to epochal challenges and sustaining its vitality.
