The diversity of civilization exists objectively. The key to correctly handle the relationship between different civilizations is how to recognize and treat this diversity.

First of all, there should be a scientific evaluation of the diversity of world civilization, which is not only an objective fact, but also a positive and important factor to promote the progress and development of world civilization.

It is still difficult to determine whether the origin of human beings is multi-source or one source, but the development of human civilization is undoubtedly multi-line. Every civilization has its own unique historical development process. This development does not exclude the development of other civilizations, nor does it necessarily presuppose the decline of other civilizations. On the contrary, the development of various civilizations can go hand in hand. At the same time, in the process of development, they communicate with each other, influence each other, absorb each other and merge with each other.

For example, Arabic numerals, compasses, gunpowder, paper and many other important inventions of the eastern nations have had a decisive impact on western civilization. The centuries-long communication between Islamic civilization and the West laid the foundation for the development of mathematics, science, medicine and agriculture in medieval Europe. In modern times, the rapidly rising western civilization had a great influence on the eastern countries, while the eastern civilization still had a certain influence on the west in different ways. For example, Chinese medicine, a pure China thing, has been welcomed by many people in the west. It is in this diverse exchange and integration that human civilization keeps advancing. Different types of civilizations have their unique characteristics and manifestations, and there are many things that human beings share. After long-term communication, there are more and more such elements, which constitute the basic wealth of human civilization. Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism and Taoism all put forward many identical views on the relationship between man and the environment, the criteria for handling social relations, the norms of marriage and family, the goals and significance of life, and thus share some common values.

Therefore, the overall content and value of world civilization are not only composed of the same values in various civilizations, but also enriched, integrated, promoted and developed by the colorful diversity of different civilizations. Human civilization is the unity of universality and diversity. Universality lies in diversity, and diversity cannot be separated from universality. It can be said that the formation and integration of universality in diversity is a basic law of the development of human civilization. In this sense, diversity is paramount.
