中华民族的传统文化博大精深、源远流长。文化交流绝不是让外国文化吞并本国文化，而是为了丰富和充实本民族的文化。文化来自民间，文化属于大众.保护文化遗产、繁荣民族文化，关系到每个公民。早在2000多年前，中国就产生了以孔、孟(Confucius and Mencius)为代表的儒家学说(Confucianism)，和以老、庄为代表的道家学说(Taoism)，以及其他许多在中国思想史上有地位的学说和学派。中国有文字可考的历史可以追溯到4000多年前，中国被认为是四大文明古国之一。

　　The traditional Chinese culture，both extensive and profound，dates back to ancient times.Cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing our own culture to a foreign culture，but enriching our nation’s own cultures.Culture stems from the people and belongs to the people.All citizens，therefore.should be involved in the protection of Our cultural heritage and the development of our national culture.More than 2，000 years ago，there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius，Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi，and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thoughts.With written records dating back to over 4，000 years，China is recognized as one of the four great ancient civilizations of the World.
