Abstract
The article, which is based on of the analysis of modern Chinese and Western studies of the Chinese civilization, contains the author’s conclusions regarding factors of dynamics of the Chinese civilization. Both Chinese and Western scholars draw our attention to the influence of Western civilization. The formation of the modern Chinese civilization is considered as a kind of synthesis of Chinese and Western ones, but with the dominance of cultural codes and archetypes of the Chinese civilization. Among the factors of dynamics, a special place is held by the studies relative to the role of natural and climatic conditions in the development of culture and models of relations between peoples. Among the stabilizing factors, a special emphasis is given to localities, civilizational centres that support and reproduce the traditional values of Chinese civilization.
