During this period, many great works of literature, art, philosophy, etc. appeared in China, such as Tang poetry, Song poetry, Yuan opera, Ming and Qing novels, etc.

The development of Chinese culture can be divided into many periods, each with its own unique characteristics and style. The following are some of the characteristics of the main periods: 1 Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties (about 2070 - 256 B.C.): This period is the foundation of Chinese culture, the legendary period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. The Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty were two important dynasties in ancient China, while the Zhou Dynasty was a unified dynasty in Chinese history. During this period, many important cultural phenomena appeared in China, such as oracle bone inscriptions, bronze culture, ritual and music culture, war culture, etc. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770 - 221 B.C.): This period was a turbulent period in Chinese history and an important period of cultural development. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many famous ideologists and cultural figures in China, such as Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Mozi, etc. Their thoughts and cultural achievements had a profound impact on Chinese history and culture. 3 Qin and Han Dynasties (221 B.C. to 220 A.D.): This period was a unified period in Chinese history and a period of cultural prosperity. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, many important cultural phenomena appeared in China, such as terracotta soldiers, the Han Dynasty system, calligraphy, painting, poetry, etc. The Han Dynasty also created many important cultural projects such as the Silk Road and the Han Palace. 4. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (220 - 589 AD): This period was a period of cultural decline in Chinese history and a period of cultural change. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many important cultural figures appeared in China, such as Wang Xizhi, Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun, etc. Their thoughts and cultural achievements had a profound impact on Chinese history and culture. 5 Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties (618 - 1911): This period was a period of cultural peak and prosperity in Chinese history. During the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, many important cultural phenomena appeared in China, such as Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing novels, etc. These cultural works had a profound influence on Chinese literature and culture.

Chinese language and literature is one of the important heritages of Chinese traditional culture, which has a profound influence on the development of Chinese traditional culture. In Chinese history, Chinese characters have always been an important cultural symbol and played an important role in literature. The study of Chinese language and literature can help people better understand and use Chinese characters to deepen their understanding of Chinese culture. The rich and colorful literary works in Chinese language and literature, such as poems, novels, essays, plays, etc., show the rich and profound meaning of Chinese traditional culture. These works not only enriched people's cultural cultivation, but also helped to inherit and carry forward Chinese traditional culture. Chinese language and literature were also important tools for the study of Chinese cultural traditions. Through the study of Chinese language and literature, people can better understand the history, evolution and development of Chinese traditional culture, so as to better understand and inherit Chinese traditional culture. In short, Chinese language and literature play an important role in the development of Chinese traditional culture. It can help people deepen their understanding of Chinese traditional culture and promote the inheritance and promotion of Chinese traditional culture.

The development of the Internet had disadvantages for the inheritance and development of Chinese traditional culture, mainly in the following aspects: The development of network technology makes it easier for people to get in touch with all kinds of cultural information, but at the same time, it also makes the transmission of traditional cultural information more susceptible to interference and pollution. There was a large amount of false information and vulgar content on the Internet that could negatively affect the quality and credibility of traditional cultural information. The development of network technology makes it easier for people to communicate and share traditional cultural information, but at the same time, it also makes the transmission channels of traditional cultural information more narrow. Traditional channels such as publicity, education, and exhibition often could not effectively convey traditional cultural information. The Internet became a relatively easy way to spread information. 3. The development of network technology may also lead to the commercial and virtual transformation of traditional culture, causing traditional culture to lose its original cultural and spiritual meaning. Some online literature works, games, etc., through fictional and exaggerated ways, have made it easier for people to accept and consume these contents, but these contents often lack the realism and depth of traditional culture. Therefore, the development of the Internet had both advantages and disadvantages for the inheritance and development of Chinese traditional culture. We need to take effective measures to protect the authenticity, credibility, and cultural content of traditional cultural information. At the same time, we need to pass on and promote traditional culture through various channels such as network technology.

The inheritance and development of traditional Chinese folk culture and art is a complex and diverse process. It covers a wide range of arts, including literature, music, opera, dance, painting, sculpture, calligraphy, photography and many other fields. In terms of inheritance, Chinese traditional folk culture and art have been actively protecting and developing their own traditional art forms. Many art forms were passed down through traditional performances, musical instruments, paintings, and other methods, and they were constantly being innovative and developed. In terms of development, with the changes of the times and the development of society, Chinese traditional folk culture and art are constantly adapting to the new market demand and constantly expanding new fields and forms of expression. At the same time, the government and society also attached great importance to the development of traditional Chinese folk culture and art, and constantly introduced relevant policies and measures to promote its inheritance and development. The inheritance and development of Chinese traditional folk culture and art is a process of continuous evolution. It requires the joint efforts and support of the whole society in order to better protect and inherit their own traditional art forms.

What foreign cultures have influenced the development of Chinese culture? The development of Chinese culture can be traced back to ancient times, but in modern times, it has been influenced by many foreign cultures, some of which are the most significant. During the Shang Dynasty, China already had some foreign cultural influences. For example, there were many foreign symbols and patterns on the bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty, such as dragons, phoenixes, turtles, beasts, etc. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the culture of Persia, Babylon and other Central Asian regions had an important impact on Chinese culture. For example, many of the poems in the Book of Songs came from Central Asia, such as the poems in Gilgamesh. During the Qin Dynasty, Greek culture had an important influence on China. For example, Qin Shihuang once traveled thousands of miles to Greece to study and brought back a lot of Greek culture and knowledge. During the Han Dynasty, Indian culture had an important influence on China. For example, the Buddhist culture of the Han Dynasty contained many Buddhist ideas and arts from India. During the Tang Dynasty, Arabian culture had an important influence on China. For example, the Tang Dynasty's islamists brought Arabian medicine and mathematics to China. During the Ming Dynasty, the introduction of European countries such as the Netherlands and Portugal also had an important impact on Chinese culture. For example, during the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch learned a lot of nautical skills and trade knowledge in China, which provided important help to the European colonial expansion. During the Qing Dynasty, Western culture also had an important influence on Chinese culture. For example, the Qing Dynasty's missionary and diplomatic envoys brought Western political, economic, scientific, and other knowledge to China, bringing new ideas and concepts to the development of Chinese culture. In short, foreign cultures had a profound influence on Chinese culture. These influences not only enriched the content of Chinese culture, but also promoted the development and innovation of Chinese culture.

Ancient Chinese novels were closely related to the development of regional culture. In ancient Chinese novels, we can often see the culture, customs, and other elements of different regions. These elements reflect the characteristics of society, economy, politics, and culture in different regions, as well as the lives and values of people in different regions. For example, Song Jiang and the others in Water Margins came from different regions. Their values, habits, and behaviors were very different. These differences reflected the cultural differences in different regions. At the same time, ancient Chinese novels often depicted different regions of the landscape and characters, such as Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West". These images reflected the natural scenery and character characteristics of different regions. The development of regional culture also influenced the plots and characters in ancient Chinese novels. For example, some characters and plots in ancient Chinese novels, such as "Water Margins" in "Water Margins" and "Grand View Garden" in "Dream of the Red Chamber", reflected the cultural characteristics and social life conditions of different regions. At the same time, the culture of different regions also influenced the way of description in ancient Chinese novels, such as language, plot and character. Ancient Chinese novels have a close relationship with the development of regional culture. Through the plots and characters in the novels, they reflect the culture, society and lifestyle of different regions, and also provide people with an understanding of ancient Chinese culture.

American popular culture and Chinese traditional elite culture were two completely different cultural systems, so the influence between them was complicated. American popular culture usually focused on entertainment and consumption, including movies, music, television programs, comics, games, and so on. This kind of culture is often global and diverse, pursuing fashion and fashion, focusing on personal expression and self-identification. The influence of American popular culture was that it provided a wide range of entertainment choices, allowing people to choose their favorite cultural products according to their interests and preferences. The traditional Chinese elite culture emphasized knowledge and education, emphasizing personal cultivation and social responsibility. This kind of culture usually emphasized etiquette, morality, culture, wisdom, and other aspects with Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism as the core. The influence of traditional Chinese elite culture was that it provided a cultural model that emphasized education and self-cultivation, which played an important role in promoting the development of individuals and society. There were huge differences between American popular culture and traditional Chinese elite culture in terms of cultural values, entertainment choices, and educational pursuits. This difference may have mutual influence. For example, some elements in American popular culture may be inspired by Chinese traditional elite culture, and some elements in Chinese traditional elite culture may also affect the development of American popular culture. However, whether this effect was positive or negative still needed further observation and research.
