Chinese culture is a set of beliefs,
customs and artistic expressions that
extends over a vast territory and
combines elements passed down for
hundreds of generations with current
creations.

It is one of the oldest cultures in the

world and still preserves much of the
thinking and customs founded
thousands of years ago.

The complexity of this culture is due not

only to its antiquity, but also to the vast
territory it represents, which includes a
great variety of traditions.
