When we speak today of the Chinese, remember a large territory occupied by a huge population. However, this understanding of China forgets the thousands of years that make up its story. The oldest documents that speak of this people have more than four thousand years old, attesting to the condition of one of the oldest civilizations of the world.
The most ancient evidence of the Chinese people proved its multiple formation drawn by the influence of several peoples who inhabited primarily the territory. Among the populations that line the origin of Chinese we can highlight the Daxi, Majiapang, Hemudu and Yangshou cultures, this last established near the Yellow River.
According to legends originating from the Chinese people, the peoples who occupied the northern portion of the Yellow River were unified. Over time, we had the formation of an expansionist nation led by two brave emperors known as the Yellow and Fiery. Under their command, military forces were organized in order to conquer the southern portion of the areas near the Yellow River.
Under this new configuration, the Chinese formed a patriarchal society sustained by the development of agricultural economy. The material development of this time is recognized in the techniques of fabrication of silk, the invention of instruments that facilitated agriculture and the dominance of metals that improved the weapons used by armies.
The longest period of Chinese history includes the 5th to 19th centuries, when we see a vast centered empire organizing the life of this great civilization. By the 15th century, the Chinese occupied a prominent position in the intellectual and technological production. They were the inventors of gunpowder, the compass, the first press and medicine.
In Contemporary Times, the supremacy of the Chinese Empire was shaken by contact with European nations involved in the process of expanding of industrial economy. During the 19th century, the imperialist action ended up establishing a series of conflicts that contributed to a new period of Chinese history. The Chinese modernized their institutions, and today occupy the status of world power.
