History of China

The rises and downfalls of Chinese dynasties, according to Confucian scholars, occurred based on whether or not the ruler followed Confucian philosophy. For a dynasty to continue its reign, its rulers must be morally cultivated and stress to his people Confucian virtues (humanity, loyalty, righteousness, and sincerity), filiality, brotherly submission, social harmony, frugality, and respect for learning, law, and tax payments. All rulers should rule with the profound sense of ren (humaneness), which lies at the heart of Confucian teachings. Confucianism was the primary means of social advancement and moral formation. Confucian scholars saw rituals and music as ideal means to control people. Sacrifices ensured peace and fertility in the realm.

An ideal method in having a continuously successful dynasty reigning, rulers should know and fully understand the Confucian canon, which included the "Five Classics" and the "Four Books." The Confucian classic texts form the basis of Confucian ethics, practice, and philosophical inquiry, and as the core texts for the imperial examinations they were memorized by every aspiring scholar. The Five Classics are The Classic of Changes (metaphysics and divination), The Classic of Documents/History (government), The Classic of Poetry (understanding the people), The Record of Ritual (etiquette and ritual), and The Spring and Autumn Annals (Confucius' own judgments). The sixth classic was The Classic of Music, which was lost by the Han dynasty. The Four Books are Analects (Confucius' sayings and conversations), Mencius (works of Confucius' follower, Mencius), Great learning (cultivation of the individual), and Doctrine of the Mean (interpenetration of cosmos and human morality). By the ninth century, thirteen classics had been identified and standardized. This included the Five Classics, Four Books, the Rites of Zhou, the Book of Etiquette and Ritual, three commentaries appended to the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Er Ya (a dictionary).

Dynasties fell because their rulers did not follow Confucian teachings and values. Selfishness, lack of respect, immorality, inhumane character, and greed led to the downfall of rulers, and eventually whole dynasties.

There was no single emperor who built the wall. The wall was built over a period of 20 dynasties, and by different Chinese states. Parts of the wall have fallen and been rebuilt many times over the centuries.

Credit is often given to Qin Shi Huang, who built the most famous part of the wall, but even that wall was torn down long before the present wall existed.
