Chinese civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. It has existed for 5,000 years, thus for 83 percent of recorded history, which arose with the civilization established about 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. We assume that Chinese culture began in Neolithic Times (5000 BCE) with the Yangshao Culture, which was established around the Yellow River valley and lasted until 3000 BCE. However the civilization whose primary influences on its early culture were Mangolian was Japanese civilization.
