It’s a long standing and well-established oriental civilization, neither the numerous pushes to the south by the northern nomadic tribes, nor the invasions from the Western countries, has interrupted its hand-down and progress, remarkable and outstanding, in the far-east.

This rich and profound oriental civilization started from its ancient Chinese principles, never stopped renewing itself by the way of assimilating and merging with civilizations from other regions, and always striving to contribute its own share to the progress of world civilization as a whole.

The core of Chinese civilization is to reach the harmony between human and nature, to realize the immortality of human being through creation of life from generation to generation.
