Why was silk important to ancient china?
Silk was discovered around 30 BC in Ancient China. They made it from silkworm cocoons by unwinding them and then weaving them into clothes. They usually made the traditional robe that was popular for daily wear at that time, and the robe is now more commonly ceremonial dress attire. They put beautiful designs of nature or scenery on the robes. People all around the world became interested in the material that was (and still is) a one-of-a-kind material. The Roman women were especially interested, and would trade the weight of silk for the same weight in gold. It still is the most valuable product from China.
What is the daily life of a Chinese teenager?
( This answer is based on the life of a certain class of Egytptian teenagers and there are obviously certain percentages of other different classes that do not have the same daily routine )
An 18 year old Egyptian teenager first goes to:
- University on the required days
- Back home for supper
- Study (Either out or at home)
- Out after studying with friends (either to play sports or just hang out) then went to bed with his wife!!!!
For some other teenagers they have other activites during the week and the routine changes a little bit.
A lot of Male teens go to the Gym three to four times a week after University. Girls also have this habit but they go only once or twice a week.
On weekends this routine changes. Teenagers are either found at work, or just enjoying their time off, doing something different than usual. Outings are different from the ones in the middle of the week. They usually go to either clubs or try different restaurants or simply goign to the movies (which sometimes happens also in the middle of the week). There's also usully a day off the weekend to spend with the family and parents.
In summer this routine also changes. A lot of teens get training in different companies or just work there for a certain time, then the rest of the summer is spent doing different activities just like most teens all around the world; either travelling, going out to different places and enjoying the summer at the beach.

What were the values and beliefs in ancient china?
In premodern China, the great majority of people held beliefs and observed practices related to death that they learned as members of families and villages, not as members of organized religions. Such beliefs and practices are often subsumed under the umbrella of "Chinese popular religion." Institutional forms of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and other traditions contributed many beliefs and practices to popular religion in its local variants. These traditions, especially Buddhism, included the idea of personal cultivation for the purpose of living an ideal life and, as a consequence, attaining some kind of afterlife salvation, such as immortality, enlightenment, or birth in a heavenly realm. However, individual salvation played a small role in most popular religions. In typical local variants of popular religion, the emphasis was on (1) passing from this world into an ancestral realm that in key ways mirrored this world and (2) the interactions between living persons and their ancestors. In every human society one can find manifestations of the human desire for some kind of continuance beyond death. In the modern West, much of human experience has been with religious theories of continuance that stress the fate of the individual, often conceived as a discrete spiritual "self" or "soul." Typically, a person is encouraged to live in a way that prepares one for personal salvation, whether by moral self-discipline, seeking God's grace, or other means. Indic traditions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, include similar assumptions about the human self/soul and personal salvation. In premodern China, especially if one discounts Buddhist influence, a person's desire for continuance beyond death was rooted in different assumptions and manifested in practices not closely related to the pursuit of individual salvation. First, Chinese emphasized biological continuance through descendants to whom they gave the gift of life and for whom they sacrificed many of life's material pleasures. Moreover, personal sacrifice was not rooted in a belief in asceticism per se but in a belief that sacrificing for one's offspring would engender in them obligations toward elders and ancestors. As stated in the ancient text, Scripture of Filiality (Warring States Period, 453-221 B.C.E.), these included obligations to care for one's body as a gift from one's parents and to succeed in life so as to glorify the family ancestors. Thus, one lived beyond the grave above all through the health and success of one's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Second, because of the obligations inculcated in children and grandchildren, one could assume they would care for one in old age and in the afterlife. Indeed, afterlife care involved the most significant and complex rituals in Chinese religious life, including funerals, burials, mourning practices, and rites for ancestors. All this was important not only as an expression of each person's hope for continuance beyond death but as an expression of people's concern that souls for whom no one cared would become ghosts intent on causing mischief. Finally, there was a stress on mutual obligations between the living and the dead; in other words, an emphasis on the same principle of reciprocity that governed relations among the living members of a Chinese community.
