I used to be in the record business, and worked for a time for a Chinese record company who was releasing indigenous folk and classical music.

Western music traces back about 1000-1200 years, while Chinese music has an unbroken written musical tradition going back several thousands of years.

China gets a bit fuzzier in between dynasties and revolutions. But there are definitely multiple post-Unification dynasties that lasted longer than 250 years.
