History of China
|
China, representing one of the earliest civilizations in the world,
has a recorded history of about 3,600 years. It possesses rich
historical documents as well as ancient relics. Like other nations,
China, in its development, passed through the stages of primitive
society, slave society, and feudal society. During the middle
decades of the 19th century, capitalist forces of foreign countries
invaded China, and China was slowly transformed into a semi-colonial
and semi-feudal society. The founding of the People's Republic in
1949 marked China's entry into the socialist stage. During the long
period of historical development, the industrious, courageous, and
intelligent Chinese people of all nationalities collectively created
a great civilization. They made great contributions to all of
mankind.
