From its origins in the prehistoric past, an ever-evolving Chinese culture has been unique among the world’s civilizations, both in terms of its unbroken continuity and in the rich and varied institutional, material, and conceptual artifacts its peoples have produced. At the same time, this richness and variety guarantees that many of these artifacts will have at least partial counterparts in other civilizations, thus making it difficult to isolate, in brief compass, what it is about Chinese culture that does indeed make it unique.
