History of China

He was sentenced to death. At that time, execution could be replaced either by money or mutilation (i.e. castration). Since Sima Qian did not have enough money to atone his fault, he chose the latter and was then thrown into prison.

Shi Huangdi actually opposed Confucianism and sent much of its literature and scholarship (both written and people) to be burned. It is only by luck that Confucianism survived to become the official philosophy of the Han Dynasty and therefore survival.

Shi Huangdi endorsed Legalism, purveyed by Li Si, which was a philosophy of crime and punishment. He believed that the Chinese People owed him their authority and if they did not give it to him, they were no longer useful subjects.

During the early years of the Cold War, Republican senators primarily blamed Democratic President Harry S. Truman and his administration for the communist success in China. They argued that Truman's policies were weak and not adequately containing the spread of communism, leading to the victory of the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong in the Chinese Civil War.

It is important to note that there were also other factors beyond US policies, such as internal divisions within China and the effectiveness of the Chinese Communist Party, which contributed to the communist success.

The leader of China in 1960 was Chairman Mao Zedong. He was the founding father of the People's Republic of China and the leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Mao Zedong held significant influence over the country and its policies during this period.

The political culture of China is characterized by a strong emphasis on collectivism, centralized authority, and social stability. The ruling Communist Party exercises tight control over political discourse and dissent, and there is limited tolerance for political opposition or activism. Confucian values emphasizing harmony and respect for authority also contribute to the political culture in China.

Ts'ai Lun was born in an ordinary farmer family. Because of his cleverness, he was selected to serve the emperor. At the age of 15, he became an attendant but also a eunuch according to the convention of the palace.

Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China, broke the feudal system by centralizing power and abolishing the authority of regional nobility. He implemented a strict bureaucratic system and standardized laws, currency, weights, and measures. This resulted in a strong centralized government and the end of feudalism in China.

The Nationalist Army, led by Chiang Kai-shek, was forced to flee to Taiwan following the Chinese Civil War against the Communist forces led by Mao Zedong. This retreat happened in 1949, and the Nationalist government established the Republic of China on the island.

Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, serving from October 1949 until his death in January 1976. Zhou served under Mao Zedong and was instrumental in consolidating the control of the Communist Party's rise to power, forming foreign policy, and developing the Chinese economy.

In ancient China, farmers typically paid for the use of land through a system known as the "corvée labor" system. They would provide labor service to the landlord or the state for a certain number of days each year in exchange for the right to cultivate the land. This labor obligation was considered as payment for the land use. Additionally, farmers would also pay a portion of their harvest as rent or taxes to the landlord or the state.

The family structure in ancient China played a significant role in shaping their society. The key to Chinese society was the patriarchal family, where the eldest male held authority and made decisions for the family. This structure emphasized filial piety and duty, leading to a harmonious and stable society as individuals prioritized family and societal obligations above personal desires. It also reinforced social hierarchies and the Confucian principles of respect, obedience, and loyalty.

It destroyed many aspects of traditional Chinese culture, including religion, clothing, and art.

It depends on how you're asking it. I've read in a book once that when someone gives you lilies they represent death. If they're given to you by a past rival or current one then it's obviously not a good sign. If they're given to you by your own mother then obviously there isn't anything to fear. However, unless for some reason ur own mother is out to get you then that's something you should worry about.

There are many symbolic meanings associated with the butterfly. The Mandarin Chinese word for butterfly is "hu-tieh". "Tieh" means "70 years", therefore butterflies have become a symbol for a long life. In this culture butterflies have also become representative of young men in love. In the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be representative of young maidens and marital bliss. Many Japanese families use the butterfly in the family crest design. Germany has a very unique belief about butterflies. As butterflies can often be found hovering about milk pails or butter churns, they have become associated with witches trying to steal the cream. The German word for butterfly is "Schmetterling", which is actually derived for the Czech word "Smetana" which means "cream". There are many links with butterflies in mythology from all over the world, many of which, in particular Greek mythology, link butterflies to the human soul. The Ancient Greeks also considered butterflies as the souls of those who had passed away.

In ancient Greek the word for butterfly is "Psyche", which translated means "soul". This was also the name for Eros' human lover and when the two figures are depicted they are often surrounded by butterflies. In one of the Russian dialects, butterflies are referred to as "dushuchka" which is a derivative of the word "dusha" also meaning soul. There is also an Irish saying that refers to the symbolic meaning of butterflies. This saying is: "Butterflies are souls of the dead waiting to pass through purgatory". There is a small town in Mexico that also associate butterflies with souls. It is to this town that Monarch Butterflies migrate every year, around the holiday known as the Day of the Dead. The people of this town see these butterflies as the returning souls of the deceased.
