How Does Location influence the Development of Empire? Nadyrbayev Ernar 8B

Introduction: We know, that every country and every empire has its own location. The location gives empire some advantages. Ancient China like most of empires use it also.

Literature and Writing Paper was made by tree, which is given from location. The invention of paper was important for development of calligraphy and this type of writing travelled to Asia and Europe by the Silk Road

Food and Cloth The tea production came out from ancient China (B.C. 2700years) People start to use silk in making of clothes and it influenced on their culture.

Art and Architecture The Ancient Chinese people used lacquer in their art. Lacquer is a clear coating made from the sap of sumac trees. This sumac tree is the cause of development of art. It was used to add beauty and shine to many pieces of art. It also helped to protect the art from getting damaged.

Jewelry Jewelry were made by jade, turquoise, coral, gold, silver, and even blue kingfisher feathers. Men had special jewelry to mark their ranks or social status, while women wore jewelry to be beautiful

The Silk Road The Silk Road was created, because China was in isolation. Gobi Desert (in north), Himalai (in south) and ocean (in east) can prove it. But Chinese people went to the west and created the road and traded. They turned their disadvantage to advantage, because location gave the opportunity to rise.

Conclusion: In conclusion I want to say, that the most of China’s achievements were reached by advantages of location. I understood, that location is a material to reach or do something. People decide for themselves how to use it, but Chinese people did it effectively, because we can find it everywhere.
