MEDIEVAL CHINA

Ruling the Far East Dynasty- ruling families, used by historians to divide Chinese history As many as 23 dynasties took place from 220BCE to 1644 CE Emperor Zheng (Qin) was the first emperor of China Emperors named a relative, often a son, to become the next ruler

The Mandate of Heaven Chinese rulers/emperors based their right to govern on the Mandate of Heaven (Tian) Heaven chose a dynasty to rule, supported that dynasty with good fortune, but showed displeasure with natural disasters like floods and plagues A dynasty could lose the mandate by being overthrown by the people

The HAN Dynasty 206BCE-220CE Golden Age of Expansion Grew because of a large bureaucracy, a highly organized body of workers with many levels of authority Bureaucracy becomes corrupt, servants seize the government Warlords, non-government military leaders, begin to attack the people and each other Taxes rose and the farmers rebelled China broke apart into separate warlord kingdoms, like Europe after the Fall of Rome (lasted 300 years) 589- Sui Dynasty reunifies China Emperor Gaozu

The Great Wall of China Qin Shi Huangdi was the emperor who ordered its creation to protect China from invasions (214 BCE) Over the course of nearly 2000 years, the wall is rebuilt and lengthened for various reasons At its height, it stretched 3728 miles, but over time…2175 miles

CHINESE WRITING

Origins of writing in China Linguists believe that writing was invented in China 4,000 years ago There is no evidence to suggest the transmission of writing from elsewhere. The earliest examples of written Chinese date from BC (Shang dynasty) They were inscribed on ox scapulae and turtle shells - "oracle bones".

Bronze Inscriptions

Calligraphy
