Chinas history goes back over to 5,000 years from now. China
was best known because of their great enrichment in philosophy and arts. Over
time, China made many products still used today like silk, paper, gunpowder and
movable-typewriting printing, this things were a great attribute to life
because it made it easier. China had many fights and was usually conquering its
neighbors and conquered back. Chinese rulers were called Emperors and their government
was based on the Confucian Model, this one consisted of a virtuous man who led
by example. Chinese ancient economy was based on the trading of products with
other cultures and the use of the metal coin. Silk was the product that was
traded the most. Chinese also fished, farmed and irrigated the land to maintain
their plant life. Their written language was represented by characters and
symbols.
Religion played a very significant role in early China. They
believed in Ti, he had the power to punish people who did wrong and rewarded
good ones. Priests were given the role of intermediaries, since they wanted to
create a link between God and the human beings on earth. Religion underwent a
huge chance with the appearance of the Eastern Chou Dynasty. They started
practicing the religious philosophy of Taoism, worshipping Tao.
