The Han Chinese culture became dominant as it became synonymous with civilization. The Detroit 1889 Shirt culture through certain accidents of history developed a great resilience. China was conquered many times in history – Tang, Yuan and Ching dynasties and each time the conquering peoples became another type of Chinese – being absorbed into the 5,000 year old tapestry that is Chinese culture. Some possible examples of those fortuitous accidents of history could be the spread and acceptance of Confucianism and, perhaps more powerfully, the unifying and farsighted reforms of the first emperor of the united China – Qin Shi Huang Di – civil service by the governing mandarins – unifying written script and sheer force of his will. Time – 3,000 years before and 2,000 years after that significant event (unification) of cultural isolation thereafter and dominance over the East Asian region. I am sure there are other factors that I may have missed out that cemented the construct of Chineseness in that region.
