Abstract
The article is devoted to a topical issue of the representative culture of the Chinese nation in the context of globalization. According to F. Tenbrook, the picture of the representative culture of a community includes all the socially significant elements that find their place in the everyday life of a national group. Members of the Chinese national group, who are in a state of national division due to historical conditions, mostly attribute their cultural identity to high Chinese culture, but the issue of national identity remains open and is subject to regulation by the governments of the PRC and Taiwan. They actively form various types of national identity, continental and insular (oceanic) drawing on the main national myths of Greater China. As specific ontological systems, myths perform the function of smoothing out social contradictions in a particular society, adapting their followers to changing historical circumstances and contributing to the formation of the symbolic space of a culture.
