The Han culture, named after the majority ethnic group in China, Han Chinese, has more than 5000 years of history and has largely shaped the cultural fabric of today's modern China. It contributes to over 91% of China's population, and its influence extends beyond the borders of China, to regions such as Singapore, Taiwan, and the global Chinese diaspora.
Deeply rooted in Confucian ideology, the Han culture emphasizes respect for education, elders, and authority, and values the principles of harmony, balance, and unity. This has shaped the societal norms and interpersonal relationships in China. Literature, arts, and science flourished under its roof, leading to the creation of the four great inventions: papermaking, printing, the compass, and gunpowder.
Han culture is also rich in traditions and festivals, with Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival as the key highlights of the year. The Han cuisine, globally enjoyed, has diverse styles, including Szechuan and Cantonese.
Traditional Han clothing, "Hanfu," has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years. From the cut of garments to the intricate embroidery details, it signifies the wearer’s status, age, and occupation.
Overall, the Han culture is not simply a reflection of the past, but a dynamic force that continues to influence Chinese society today.
