There are many sources of self-confidence in Chinese civilization, so let's list a few at random.
First of all, the inheritance of writing, modern Chinese use words to communicate with ancient Chinese without pressure.
Thanks to Qin Shi Huang, after the book is the same text, the Qin Xiaozhen font at that time, more than 2,200 years now, modern Chinese still have no pressure to read ancient books, which is unimaginable for other civilizations. For example, Shakespeare's English is only 500 years old, and it is difficult for professionals who are not specialized in Old English to read it.
This ancient script, as long as the Chinese who have completed nine years of compulsory education, basically read without pressure, and do not need to learn another ancient Chinese.
Second, the inheritance of race, modern Chinese and ancient Chinese are in the same line.
The Chinese civilization has never been extinguished, although it is sometimes at a low ebb, but the fire of the Han people will not be extinguished, and it will eventually create brilliance. The appearance of modern Chinese and ancient Chinese is basically the same. Unlike some civilizations, the inhabitants of that land now are fundamentally two races from the so-called ancestors who created the glorious civilization, and the ancestors will also ask, who is this TM, who does it misunderstand me? People in Egypt, Iraq and other countries collectively sneezed a few times.
This is the feeling of an uncle next door, and many celebrities can find terracotta warriors that resemble themselves.
Again, the inheritance of cultural relics.
No matter which dynasty or generation, the Chinese can drummer the corresponding objects, and at the same time can reverse calculate the level of science and technology at that time.

Again, the inheritance of historical materials.
It's not a joke why Alexander the Great didn't hit China, because China's history books are more detailed. In fact, there are historical materials that Alexander the Great fought in China, but after a detailed comparison with ancient Chinese historical materials, it was found that it was just bragging. In the same way, Marco Polo's so-called visit to China is mostly second-hand historical materials he heard, and it is doubtful whether he has ever been to China. If there were no detailed historical materials in ancient China, wouldn't they just blow it up?
In the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the historian next to Sun Ce before his death has recorded every word and deed, and he can't fake it.
Thirdly, the inheritance of language, although we have the same pronunciation ratio as the ancients, the meaning of expression is the same.
Tang poems, Song songs, Yuan songs, not to mention these, a "messy" idiom, contains the two histories of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Western Han Dynasty and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty. And each dynasty and each dynasty also has corresponding exclusive nouns and avoidances (such as Wu Zetian's self-created "曌" character), if you study carefully, you can even judge which dynasty he is from through a passage of the ancients, and it is not uncommon to be specific to the year.
Also, the inheritance of science and technology.
Although modern China has lagged behind in science and technology, the following aspects: astronomy (star maps, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses), calendars (not suddenly less than ten days), and geography (earthquake records, temperature changes, river changes, coastline changes), due to the detailed records of ancient China, can be very convenient to do research in millennia, which is unimaginable for a country that has only been founded for a few hundred years.
Finally, the strength of Chinese civilization also helped other civilizations in the surrounding area and with China in ancient times. If you want to find historical traditions, let's look at Chinese history books. For example, if one of the three Sulu kings in the Sulu archipelago of the Philippines had not died in China, who would have known that there was such a Sulu kingdom? It will soon disappear into the long river of history, and it is the Chinese civilization that has given this small kingdom eternal life.
The tomb of King Sulu is located in Dezhou, Shandong
In summary, how can Chinese civilization not be confident in the fact that a civilization has such a thick heritage?
