Post Clasical China and East Asia 600 CE -1450 CE

After the Fall Of Han Dynasty Period of turmoil and Chaos Non-Chinese nomads ruled much of China a foreign religion, Buddhism, surpassed Confucian teachings

Sui Dynasty After centuries of turmoil following the Han dynasty, the Sui emerged to restore peace and order Built a strong central government with work done by peasants Public works included palaces, granaries, and repair of defensive walls; most elaborate project was the Grand Canal Grand Canal: a series of artificial waterways that connected Hangzhou to Chang’an (almost 2,000 kilometers), said to be forty paces wide with service roads running on either side. These waterways accounted for large expenditures from the government treasury; money came from taxes and dividends from Grand Canal, which linked northern and southern economies, and the people of China reaped its benefits for years to come 610s: rebellions broke out in northern China 618: emperor Sui Yangdi was assassinated and dynastu ended

The Grand Canal

Tang Dynasty a. Restored peace and stability after the fall of the sui dynasty b. Second emperor, Tang Taizong (627-649), saw himself as a Confucian ruler and preserved Confucian Tradition.. His successes led to belief that this period was unusually prosperous and peaceful. He built impressive capital at Chang’an c. Maintained empire through a system of roads with horses, human runners, inns, postal stations, and stables- Transportation and Communication Network d. Equitable distribution of agricultural land kept land out of the hands of wealthy elite - Equal-Field System e. Government jobs in extensive bureaucracy were merit based, determined through a series of civil service examinations- Bureaucracy of Merit f. Military conquests included Manchuria, Tibet, Korea, and the northern part of Vietnam –Tang built a huge empire than earlier Han

State of Buddhism under Tang imperial attempt to suppress Buddhism within the Chinese empire Buddhism survived the repression, but in a reduced state without the political influence of the early Tang years

Song Dynasty Followed the Tang Dynasty; first emperor, Song Taizu, started policy of distrust of military leaders – focused on civil service exams (based on Confucian philosophy), industry, education, and the arts Financial problems faced by the Song: bureaucracy too big Military problems: scholar bureaucrats’ limited military experience led Song to military failures

Agricultural Development There was a surge in production due to fast-ripening rice from Vietnam that allowed them to produce two crops a year. Other changes: heavy iron plows, harnessed oxen or water buffaloes, manure, irrigation systems, terraced mountainsides Rapid population growth led to urbanization.

Technology Porcelain: lighter, thinner, aesthetically pleasing, “china” Metallurgy: iron production increased, used for weapons, tools, construction Gunpowder: mix of charcoal, saltpeter, sulphur, and arsenic; created flamethrower, bombs, cannon Printing: block-printing, movable type, disseminated information Naval Technology: waterproof oils, watertight bulkheads, small rockets, and magnetic compass

Society Veneration of ancestors became more elaborate. This strengthened family ties. Foot binding spread among the upper class in the Song era. Women of privilege were placed under tight supervision of their husbands or fathers.

Market Economy Trading of goods, prices set by supply and demand Letters of Credit (flying cash), promissory notes (IOUs), checks, paper money due to shortage of copper coins Cosmopolitan society: merchants from all over eastern hemisphere, Silk Roads

Buddhism in China Confucianism and Daoism didn’t disappear, but Mahayana Buddhism came into China by way of missionaries on the Silk Roads. Dunhuang Monasteries Buddhists used vocabulary of Daoism to explain doctrine. Ex: dharma=dao, nirvana=wuwei

Buddhism in China Chan Buddhism was created (Zen in Japanese). Pilgrimages to India Daoists and followers of Confucius did not like Buddhism which over time led to the closing of monasteries and expulsion of Buddhists during Tang dynasty.

Neo-Confucianism The Song dynasty supported Confucianism in hopes of limiting foreign religions. Confucians studied Buddhist texts. Zhu Xi: philosopher who blended traditional Confucius thought with ideas of Buddhism

Neo-Confucianism Developed in response to the growing popularity of Buddhism Scholars of the Song dynasty combined their studies of Confucian beliefs with the writing of Buddhism; continuation of civil service examination staffed government positions Buddhism was appealing because it offered a tradition of logical thought as well as a conversation regarding issues such as nature, the soul, and the relationship between the individual and the cosmos Neo-Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi (1130 – 1200) wrote Family Ritual, a detailed set of instructions for weddings, funerals, and other family ceremonies stressing appropriate personal behavior and social harmony Neo-Confucianism is important because it shows the influence that Buddhism had on Chinese society and throughout East Asia over a long period

Chinese Influence in Korea China invaded, but Silla kingdom held them off. China became the overlord to Korea (tributary system). Korean merchants could trade in China. Tribute embassies brought back many ideas: organization of government, capital city, Chinese writings, Confucianism, Chan Buddhism Royalty and aristocrats had much more power and influence in Korea, no bureaucracy based on merit

Chinese Influence in Vietnam Tang forces took over Vietnam. Vietnamese adopted agricultural methods, irrigation systems, Chinese schools and administrative techniques, Confucianism and examinations, Buddhism They entered into a tributary relationship, but weren’t happy and revolted many times. When Tang dynasty fell, they regained independence. Vietnamese women played a more prominent role in society than Chinese women.

Early Japan Never invaded by China but strongly influenced Nara: Clan claimed imperial authority, centralized Japanese politics, modeled court after Chinese, equal-field system, supported Confucianism and Buddhism, made capital like Chang’an. Still practiced their own religion, Shinto.

Early Japan Heian: emperors were just figureheads, the Fujiwara family ruled Students learned Chinese, literature in Chinese, court records in Chinese!!! Tale of Genji: by a woman Murasaki Shikibu, in Japanese, about court life Clans got into a war, Minamoto family won and instituted the shogun.

Medieval Japan Kamakura and Muromachi periods=medieval period (1185-1573) Feudalism: decentralized, warlords and their clans, samurai This is a deviation from Chinese influence.
