Essential Question How do belief systems influence civilizations? Why do we study belief systems?

Chinese River Valley

Lasting Contributions Government: ◦Like Egypt, China was ruled by families called dynasties ◦Ruler’s justified their power by claiming Mandate of Heaven (approval of the gods)

Lasting Contributions Government: ◦Kings could lose the Mandate of Heaven & be overthrown by a new king, called the Dynastic Cycle

Lasting Contributions ■ Government: – China was also ruled by the ethical system, Confucianism – Confucianism focused on filial piety (respect for elders) – Confucius taught social order through 5 key relationships: 1) ruler-subject 2) father-son 3) husband-wife 4) brother- brother & 5) friend-friend – These ideas were written down in The Analects

Confucian Analects Confucius says: Do not do unto others, what you would not want others to do to you Confucius says: If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake Confucius says: He who rules through virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it

Confucius would tell rulers to “Lead by example”

Yin and Yang Daoism – people gain happiness & peace by living in agreement with the way of nature. True harmony comes from balance. Yin = shaded, Yang = sunlit. Good v. Bad Beauty v. Ugliness Pleasure v. Pain

Laozi says... “Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking.” or “Be weak. Let things alone.”

Legalism Philosophy advocating the need for clear and strict laws as necessary to control human nature

Legalism in Action Civil servants – punished for doing a poor job. People caught criticizing the govt. should be banished. For example... Anyone caught outside his own village without a travel permit should have their ears or nose chopped off.

Set clear laws and harshly punish those who disobey them.”

Lasting Contributions Religion: ◦Chinese believed in ancestor worship, that the spirits of family ancestors should be honored & consulted

Lasting Contributions Writing: ◦Chinese characters stood for words but the 10,000 characters made it hard to learn to write

Classical Civilization China

Zhou Mandate of Heaven Mandate of heaven ◦Government receives it right to govern by heaven approval. ◦The responsibility of people to overthrow governments when ruler loses the approval of the Gods. ◦Governments lose approval if they are unjust and ineffective.

Zhou dynasty: BCE (Pronounced like “Joe”) Zhou acquired most of the Shang Culture and Technology Last Shang King was said to be a physical giant and monster of depravity, among his cruelties was that he made drinking cups of the skulls of his vanquished enemies. Slaves and Zhou vassals revolted against Shang cruelties. (1050 B.C.)

Zhou Economic Growth Iron tools like axes and ox drawn iron plows replaced wooden farm tools. ◦Made farming better because farmers could produce more food. First time coin money began to be used. ◦Made trade better because a merchant could carry money a lot easier then a herd of cows.
