Chinese culture is the foundation underlying all the efforts of the Chinese to build this country and settle down to our daily pursuits. It is our pride and glory. And once in a while, it becomes the source of our anxiety and a burden. At one time Chinese culture was anathema to Western countries. Major and minor conflicts blew up between different cultures. Today, however, these cultures have had regular communication and interaction with each other. People may feel disoriented and anxious when facing other cultures, but have to acknowledge each other's existence, development and sometimes enlightenment. With its extensive coverage, Chinese culture - a unique Oriental culture - has great influence and enjoys worldwide renown. After a period of crises and dangers, it has gradually released its grand vitality, and is well capable of adapting to changing times. As one of the most important frames of reference for mainstream culture, Chinese culture plays an important role in maintaining the diversity and vitality of human civilization.
