With the III ^E thousand-year-old, whereas the third wave of the coastal populations (Austro-Asian) penetrates in China of the South (before continuing its progression towards the Indochinoise peninsula), China of North, with the varied ethnicities and thickly occupied by sedentary communities, enters then a phase of accelerated evolution.

One can from now on present the Chinese history in four sequences, definitely characterized, of a little more than one millenium each one, which reproduce in historical terms (i.e. with geographical characters, dynasties, places, chronologies, etc) the great movement that one has just observed since the beginning of the neolithisation: a cultural model is worked out in North (generally in a portion of space restricts correspondent to that ranging between the current cities of Xi' year and Kaifeng).

Then it is spread on what, at the end of this history, became Chinese space itself (that which one calls China of the eighteen provinces, of settlement han); finally, it organizes an empire deployed along the international transportation routes, in order to control the bolts of Chinese space (Mongolia, Tibet, Central Asia, northern of peninsula Indochinoise, etc), populated populations not hans.

At the end of these crises of gigantism, the unit déconstruit according to an opposite logic: the Empire retracts on clean China, which refragmente in basic regional units (provinces or groupings of provinces), until the moment when one of these units emerges a new central power which undertakes to reconstitute Chinese space, then a new imperial unit (and so on). This breathing of the Chinese history is accompanied by a development increasingly more precise of the cultural model “Chinese”, which is diffused each time more deeply among the nonChinese populations peripherals.
