The ancient Middle East was a place where different civilizations converged,collided and merged together.The formation of ancient Middle Eastern civilizations mainly went through three development periods,and the historical interactions between ancient Chinese and Middle Eastern civilizations served as a driving force for the evolution of Middle Eastern civilizations.Together,they formed a grand panorama of ancient Middle East,characterized by the exchange and mutual interpenetration of diverse civilizations.The transformation of civilizations in different historical periods of the Middle East was mainly via material and trade exchanges,population migration or mobility,and the dissemination of scientific technology and cultural knowledge.These interactive activities were completed both with peaceful and violent means.The evolution of Middle Eastern civilizations has left a profound inspiration for us:human civilization is the result of collective achievements,and the evolution of civilization is a dynamic and progressive process from lower to higher levels.This is an inevitable trend of historical development.Every civilization needs to absorb nutrients through interpenetrating and exchanging with homogeneous and heterogeneous civilizations.In this process,it will acquire new energy and vitality,and realize self-renewal,refinement,enrichment and flourishment.Therefore,the essence of civilization interaction lies in complementarity and coexistence,and common development can be achieved in mutual communication and integration.
