1China
China is widely considered the world’s oldest continuous civilization. Its recorded history dates back more than 4,000 years to early dynasties such as the Xia and Shang. Over centuries, powerful dynasties like the Han, Tang, and Ming shaped a unified cultural identity centered on language, philosophy, and governance.
Despite political changes, Chinese civilization has maintained remarkable continuity, making it one of the strongest examples of an ancient state evolving into a modern nation.
