    Some believed that the Bubonic plague laid the foundation for the economic growth and democracy. It killed 30 to 60 percent of Europe. This caused the caste system that had been in existence for hundreds of years to fall apart. This created higher wages and increase land owning. Also, in 868 CE the first book was printed in China. If printing was not invented in China(730 CE) then we would not have been able to record information or data. We would also not be able to look back on previous books and learn from them. If we did not have printing we wouldn't have even been able to learn from our actual history book which we use in our classes today and which I am using now.…

    Han Dynasty Research Paper

    China was unified in 221 B.C.E. for the first time in many centuries after decades of constant warfare (also called the “Warring States Period”) for the first time in centuries under the leadership of Qin (McKay, 178). The king of Qin did not feel that the title of king was grand enough and created the title “Emperor” (huangdi) and he called himself the First Emperor (Shihuangdi) in hopes of many successors (McKay, 178-179). The Qin state soon fell apart and led to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, which managed to take power and keep China unified until 220 C.E. The unification of China affected many parts of politics, culture, and social life during the Qin and Han Dynasties.…

    Han Dynasty Legacy

    Today, we will be speaking about the legacy of the Qin Dynasty first. Qin Shihuangdi, the king of Qin born a peasant; proclaimed himself the first emperor and what would rule for thousands of generations. Unfortunately, the Qin had a relatively short dynastic cycle, the cycle that every dynasty goes through where it comes to power, rules and the falls apart. The Qin dynasty established a sense of centralized Imperial rule that later set the the foundation for later Emperors to Emulate. Even in that short period of time, they are going to have more of a lasting and have a profound impact on Chinese culture. Legalism, the belief that individuals are born evil, therefore the only way to get them to corporate is to have laws that are so strict…

    Analysis Of The Mandate Of Heaven

    One interesting subject from the lecture presented on the sixteenth of September, was the Mandate of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven is an ancient belief or theory of the Chinese that heaven sends the emperors of China with virtue and propriety. The emperor or ruler was considered to be the son of heaven and expected to be good and responsible. A ruler, however, can lose the mandate if he is unable to or does not live up to his responsibilities. Natural disasters were interpreted as signs from heaven of its opposition toward the ruler like famine or flooding. Also, if the peasants would revolt against the ruler that meant that the ruler had lost his support from heaven. There were no particular rules about who the ruler may be and it did not…

    Dowager Queen

    A major fault the country of China continuously experienced was having poor leaders at critical times. For years the leaders of China thrived from the self-sustaining country, but the pretentiousness led to the idea China was the center of the world. This false ideology caused a lag in the full development of the country, and China fell far behind the rest of the world in terms of military, technology, and government. By far one of the most devastating, but influential people who contributed to the history of the Chinese was a woman by the name of Cixi.…
