    China had a period of political disunity and instability when Buddhism was brought over to China from India in the first century c.e. Over time, Buddhism was won over the previous religions that were already in play. During the unstable times, Buddhism was accepted by the Chinese lower class, which gave them a beacon of hope. As Buddhism became increasingly popular, the upper class and government felt threatened by its rising religious and political power. Overtime, the influence of Buddhism expanded for several more centuries.…

    Although Buddhism was responded with disapproval by chinese scholars , Emperors such as Emperor Wu also contribute toward the negative responses of Buddhism. Emperor Wu defense of Buddhism reflects the abolishment of Buddhism as it was foreign and destroyed families. (Doc 6) However, Emperor Wu’s implication that Buddhism outshine the imperial palace suggests that he was jealous of Buddhism gaining wealth, converts, and the possibility that Buddhism can outshine his own palace.( Doc 6)…

    Since agriculture took off, women’s status as workers decreased. With rising populations, women now more frequently became child bearers and homemakers. While the men worked in the fields, the women stayed home and took care of cleaning and raising the children. This was true in both the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. This resulted in a less respectful view of women.…

    Many victims were so young that they had never previously engaged in sexual relations: "Like other virgins, Bok Sil resisted with all her strength, but was violently deflowered. She ended up covered in blood while screams sounded from the adjoining rooms." As a result of Confucian ideology, women were excluded from the educational system, and taught how to behave as women and respectable wives, rather than as self-reliant and independent-thinking individuals. With the collapse of the feudal dynasty, women were eventually permitted to receive an education but only up to the senior level comparable to our high school system today, in which they were taught four subjects: history, geography, arts and natural science. As expressed in Jeanne Bisilliat and Michele Fieloux's book Women of the Third World: "Imprisoned as they are by their own culture and ignorant of other cultures, the oppression to which women are subjected takes place at every level: their work, their condemnation and their…

    The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous empire, at its peak reaching populations between 50 and 60 million people. The Tang Dynasty experienced another ‘Golden Age’ of technology, inventing several key inventions such as wood block printing and an early form of gunpowder. Wood block printing was invented by Buddhists for religious texts, and spread all across the continent, increasing literacy (Wu 4). The gunpowder created by the tang was an early form, which was later perfected by other societies. The Tang society was less patriarchal than the Song dynasty, but didn’t let women work as much as the Song did. The Tang Dynasty had a complex relationship with Buddhism. Originally, Buddhism was rejected by China, due to the fact that it’s a barbarian religion, but was later accepted when the Chinese changed the religion, monasteries became incredibly prosperous and the Confucian officials didn’t like this, and Buddhism eventually lost state support (Cite). The Tang Dynasty was economically successful because it used the tribute system, which originally involved traders giving gifts to the Chinese emperor to gain access to the lucrative Chinese trade, but eventually evolved into large scale extortion of the lands under Chinese control. This economic prosperity led to a politically calm empire, with the most eventful things being government officials not acting according to the confucian law codes. Hey Mrs Trahan, if…

    A golden age is a period in which there are many advancements made in a society. Most societies experienced this in the past, while other civilizations are still waiting for their golden age to come.
