chinese cultural core

The Chinese cultural core has many elements and variables to be considered. China is one of, if not the oldest civilizations still in existence. The Zhou dynasty brings a lot of culture to china, for a couple different reasons. The Zhou dynasty, originated deep in history from the Zhou clan. By around the 11th century BCE.

The Eastern Dynasty is actually divided into the “spring and Autumn Periods” (770 BC-476 BC) and the “Warring States Period” (476 BCE-221 BCE).
