Ancient Chinese civilization has fully demonstrated its uniqueness both in its origin and in its development process. However, since modern times, due to the spread of Western learning to the east, academic circles have basically applied relevant Western theories, concepts, and terminology in describing the history of ancient Chinese civilization, ancient Chinese thought, and ancient Chinese literature. This is neither in line with China's reality nor conducive to enhancing the Chinese people's national self-confidence.

It specifically analyzes and studies the background reasons such as geographical climate, environment, production and lifestyle in ancient China, thereby revealing the earlyness and diversity of the origin of Chinese civilization. The analysis is ongoing. The unique path of the early development process of Chinese civilization that is different from Western civilization, and the continuity of the mature development process of Chinese civilization that is different from Western civilization, thus constructing a unique path of ancient Chinese civilization history of more than 5,000 years, and providing a historical basis for the path confidence, theoretical confidence, and cultural confidence of socialism with Chinese characteristics today.
