Abstract: The modern Chinese civilization is a great civilization centered on politics that has developed and transformed from the traditional Chinese civilization. To understand its formation and development, it is necessary to respect historical continuity and pay close attention to major changes in the national governance model. As a fundamental change in the Chinese civilization on all fronts led by the reform of the national governance model, the “Change of Zhou and Qin” shaped the core structure and basic paradigm of the Chinese civilization, and had a significant and farreaching impact on the development and evolution of the modern Chinese civilization. On the basis of adhering to the “two integrations”, the Communist Party of China has inherited the essence of ancient China and carried out reform and upgrading on all fronts, discarded the outdated in favor of the new through constant selfrenewal, so that the Chinese civilization has achieved a great leap from the ancient to the modern form and has become an important part of the worlds modern civilization. It is indispensable that the basic paradigm and many basic elements and symbolic characteristics of the modern Chinese civilization have been inherited and developed from those in ancient China, and its key historical starting point is the “Change of Zhou and Qin”. The “Change of Zhou and Qin”, with the profound connotations, premature modernity and implied universality, has profoundly influenced the structure and paradigm of the modern Chinese civilization.

Key words: modern Chinese civilization, national governance model, “two integrations”, the “Change of Zhou and Qin”, the Chinese path to modernization
