Abstract
The great Chinese power-civilization is the longest in time, its revival is based on a combination of world achievements and local cultural and historical traditions, rich philosophical heritage. China's geopolitical power includes, along with political stability, military, economic, and technological power, the main component - strength of spirit and Great Order in the soul. In this regard, the Celestial Empire is a thrice “tempered” state - tempered by Confucianism, Buddhism and the communist ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Chinese lessons explain success on the path to prosperity by refusing to blindly borrow other people's experience and, especially, in the spiritual sphere.
