Chinese culture made China a world power for much of its history and is doing so formodern China. What are its features?  
The fundamental differences between Chinese and Western cultures are that Chineseculture promotes the group and stability while Western culture promotes the individual andchange.  
Chinese culture reflects the unique demography of China. The Chinese are said tohave common descent from the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. While this beliefis legendary, nearly all Chinese are linked by clan, a kind of blood relation. A clan may comprise, or nearly comprise, a whole village or suburb, and counties, provinces and state are conglomerates of a vast number of villages and suburbs with such clan populations.Within each clan population or grouping, in whichever village or place, there are smallersubdivisions or groupings of extended family which subdivide further into linear and nuclear families.  
Chinese society thus consists of an aggregate of clan and family groupings, rather thandivided into hereditary classes or castes. Put it in another way, Chinese society appears as amass of circles or groupings rather than status or levels. Within each circle or grouping thepeople are related in clan or closer kinship and off er cooperation and succor to each other.Moreover, the smaller groupings can draw on the greater resources of the larger, if of thesame clan. The groupings have also been likened to grains of sand which are marvelously adapted against adversity. Whatever the misfortune, a tray of sand will absorb a shock with the certainty that some grains will survive.
