Weekend post-Popular culture

There are several cultures in this world. And the culture I wanna talk about this time is my culture-Chinese.
Chinese culture was found about 5000 years ago, and it was one of the most historical culture in the world. There are several dynasties in chinese history, although they don't have it now. The first one is Xia, and the last one is Qing. Qing was ended on 1911, and therefore the emperor system in China ended.
There are so many languagve in China, except for Mandarin and Cantonese. Those are only the two most popular language. There are so many native languages in China, that we don't even know  how many are there. Also the language we read are divided into simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Most of the places in China uses Simplified Chinese, except fro Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. In Macau and Hong Kong they speak Cantonese and read Traditional Chinese, but in Taiwan they speak Mandarin and read simplified Chinese. In mainland China they read simplified Chinese and speak Mandarin.
The traditional religion in China was Buddhist. Buddhist was found in India, and later their culture ran into China and China was deeply impacted by this religion.
The foods they eat was not what we really see now in America and other places. There are more than 50 groups of Chinese people in China, and each group had different culture, thus different foods. So we don't even know how many kinds of Chinese foods are there.
Chhina became a communism country in 1949, and it is still a communism country right now. It has two special administrative region, which is Hong Kong and  Macau. They were colonies of British and Portuguese before, Hong Kong handover to China on July 1, 1997; and Macau handover to China on December 20, 1999.
