Chinese cultures interest me, in that theyre so far removed from europe as to be baffling, but driven by militaristic states which reflect western history better than indian history does

[@MonsieurDean]

It really is a wild parallel to European history in some ways

[@badart3204]

Philosophically very different. At scale it is roughly the equivalent to a Rome that never truly fell. Very fascinating overall

[@deathdrone6988]

Ironically while China became the first nation state in history in order to field standing armies before Rome even existed, the Chinese people and culture are highly opposed to war due to Confucian thought and the Art of War which prefers diplomacy and strategy over actual battles. Being a soldier isn't seen as a 'patriotic duty' but a last resort if higher education didn't work out, an apt saying goes "good iron isn't used to make nails, good men aren't used to make soldiers".

[@donaldlee8249]

Chinese civilization is basically a premature version of European. They entered nation state and bureaucracy rule over a thousand years earlier than Europe

[@webwebwebby0]

Sadly this analysis missed quite a few key nuances of China. 1). The strong historical/overland trade influence of the Jiayu Pass connecting the core North China plain region to the trade routes of Central Asia and how that helped develop North China into an overland trading power during antiquity. 2). The relative importance of regional dialects and identity in modern China is vastly overstated. For people born pre-1970, maybe this held sway, but less young people care about that. After all, why speak a villager language when the national language is understood in far more places and everyone knows that anyway! 3). The recent emergence of a sizable ethnically Han, religiously Christian minority in China was completely ignored. In Henan Province (the 3rd largest by population and at the core of the North China plain, China’s population and civilizational core), nearly 1 in 8 people claim some form of Christianity.

[@mscho3273]

About point 2, who did you talk to?

[@andro7862]

Henan is not the most populated province of China. And I don't see the relevance of christianity here. Christians have been present in Henan since the 7th century, they were and still are a minority.

我首先声明。中国文化和欧洲文化不同。汉族不会因为信仰的改变被分配成其他民族。在中国人们同时祭拜佛教的如来佛祖，道教的玉皇大帝，基督教的耶稣上帝，伊斯兰教的真主。中国人不认为你这辈子只能拜一个神。也不认为你拜了另一个神，就等于是对原来的神的背叛。

The sad thing is, there are so many western people keep stereotyping in Chinese people, thinking that the majority Han Chinese people are insufficient in cultural diversity. It is obvious that Han Chinese people who lived in different places...like Harbin, Haikou, Chengdu, Beijing and Shanghai, etc... can't be the same, even they are classified as the same ethnic, because of their geography, dialect and history.

[@calisthenicsnoob9990]

Han is just a cultural identity not bound by blood. Think about it the Han ethnicity only appeared after the formation of Han dynasty, who's first emperor was from the Chu state. People who wanted and longed for the Han dynasty, and it's culture all became Han. Not surprisingly Han is very diverse, if you compare Han from Harbin vs Qinghai vs guangdong vs inner mongolia there will be striking difference. The first Chinese people from the yellow river area (Henan) were not Han, bc that concept had not been developed yet.

While Han is considered officially an ethnicity all on it's own, genetically han chinese are about as diverse as europeans are as a whole. Culturally they are closer (at least from media I have read and what I have seen even anti-chinese youtubers showcase), but I don't think this qualifies them to the low-scale term, that is "ethnicity". They even have several dozen sub-ethnicities. Which here in europe would just be called regional variants (ie bavarian/saxon vs german for example). Far east asian works much better imo, but I guess they might not want to share any space with koreans and japanese (and vice versa).

[@aceflaviuskaizokuaugustusc8427]

⁠@@lamename2010 It kind of is grounded in some reality at least for the arrogance part. China was very poor back then while Korea and Japan became economically affluent so the stereotype of poor Chinese peasants and poor China in general is prevalent. As for the Koreans they had the Japanese try to erase their culture back when Korea was a colony of Japan. So they hold onto and take pride in their identity that comes off as excessive arrogance to their neighbors. Overall I would say all three have some demeaning stereotypes of each other that feeds into their superiority complex.

A note about "Han." What is "Han" is a deeply divided concept depending on one's perspective. First, China actively 'converted' many groups to Han at various times to promote stability, while in more modern times, people classified as Han have pushed to have their classification changed from Han to a minority group due to some preferential treatment at times for minorities over Han. Since this concept of what is Han has been around and been in flux for many centuries, it would be hard to state what is or is not Han without qualifiers.

It’s funny, despite many differences there are some similarities between regional cultures and perceptions in the United States and China. For starters, both are geographically large and large amount of citizens have never even travelled outside their country - when they take vacations they do it domestically. Most of China’s population is in the eastern part of the country (like the US). In eastern China there is northern/southern culture. Northern Chinese people speak mandarin with less of an accent while southern Chinese have the Chinese equivalent of a southern drawl in their accent. Northern Chinese people are seen as more educated while southern Chinese are seen as more backwards and hillbilly-like although they have some cities that are more educated and urban like Shenzhen (which you could compare to Atlanta in the United States). Northern China is home to the capital Beijing (whose name literally means “northern capital”) like Washington, DC being in the northern US and Shanghai is an international city in the north like NYC in the US. Then you have a Chinese Midwest, with Wuhan being compared to Chicago.

The map of different provinces shown are wrong. And Beijing people don't practice folk religion "神道" (Shinto), it's a Japanese folk religion.

Not like what political demography map said, in reality Majority in India actually are Dravidian, Austroloid, Mediteranian African. Only Little Minorities in Jammu Kashmir that contain Aryan.

Many years ago when China was relatively not manufacturally developed, the British too shallowly misinterpreted the Chinese as Mongolian. Very interestingly and funny enough to mix up the history and cultural matters. USA recently launched the Supremacy project that suddenly found out they knew so little and wrongly about China . USA people don't have the empathy for 5000 years of experiences about life when they realize theirs is just 250 years which is copying from the British. USA is not for the people but intruded by migraines. The USA situation is much more difficult for the majority isthe migrants who are fragmented divided by races and religions.

The Chinese also shallowly misinterpreted the British as Roman, thus addressing them in Latin. 💀 There is no such thing as a "Supremacy Project." You just made that up.💀 "5000 years versus 250 years" is a Chinese myth. Western civilization is already centuries older than Chinese civilization. 💀 Immigration has demonstrably brought more success than failures. China, with its declining birthrate, will have to learn that sooner or later.💀 In short, you need to do a LOT more homework before you are qualified to comment here. This isn't behind the GFW. You actually need to be well-educated out here. 😂

Mongols, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Manchus. Seems to me like China will break up sooner or later.

[@jason199506]

from what I can see, sooner or never. the Mandarin assimilation is pretty successful, younger people in those regions know only Mandarin and not much their own language, if break up doesn't happen any time soon, it won't be able to happen
