The traditional lens for viewing Chinese history is the dynastic cycle: imperial dynasties rise and fall, and are ascribed certain achievements. China maintains a rich diversity of ethnic and linguistic people groups.
Classical Chinese civilization first emerged in the Yellow River valley, which along with the Yangtze and Pearl valleys now constitute the geographic core of China and have for the majority of its imperial history. Each region now understood to be part of the Chinese world has alternated between many periods of unity, fracture, prosperity, and hardship. The notion of "China" can be understood under many diverse historiographical, cultural, geographic, and political lenses, and has evolved tremendously over time.
The history of China spans several millennia across a wide geographical area.
