What was the son's role in the family in ancient china?
The son's role in the family in Ancient China are very important. Poor or rich, the son would be the one that will carry out the family's bloodline.
If he was the son of the Ancient Chinese Emperor or Empress, he would be the Prince. If the Empress gave birth to another son, the firstborn would be called "First Prince", whilst the newborn would be called "Second Prince". Usually the First Prince is the one who will take the Emperor's throne to carry out the bloodline and marry a Princess. The Second or Third Prince can get the throne if the father wants him to be the successor. Most of the time, the Second Prince would be the one who gets the role of being the General of the Army. However, if none of the Princes match the job, a worthy and active person will take the job.
If he was the son of an Ordinary Commoner Family, he would be the one who would work on the farm, help out in Family's store, carry messages or packages, and many more that most people today don't do unless in slavery.
Just remember that being a son is the most important job, because he would have to carry out the family's bloodline.
Has Tibet ever been an independent country?
Yes.
In reality, the current Chinese government suppresses a bunch of evidence that Tibet used to be an empire. It was an Empire for more than 10 centuries until the 1950's or 1900's (no one is sure because China says it always ruled Tibet, then said 1900, but Tibet says 1950's) when the Chinese forces conquered Tibet even though Tibet signed a treaty once with Mongolia stating it was its own country before. Found all of this from Wikipedia, a lot of other documents around the web supports Tibet to used to be a country. The sad part is, my Dad is Chinese, and even he thinks that Tibet was never a country and thought Chinese ruled it all the time. Must've been the government that taught him that, because he was born in China. China sometimes goes overboard with lies and such, and I'm saying this even though I Chinese!!!!!

Did the shang or the Zhou dynasty last longer?
The Roman Empire lasted for 503 years (27 BCE- 476 CE), but arguably 1480 years (27 BCE- 1453 CE), as its eastern half lived on much, much longer than the Western half, but the eastern half took the name of the Byzantine Empire. The Zhou dynasty lasted for 790 years (1046 BCE- 256 BCE). So it really depends on what you consider the Roman empire, but most people will say the Zhou Dynasty lasted longer (790 versus 503), because the eastern half of the Roman Empire was basically a different empire after Rome fell.
Why was the ancient Chinese compass called the south pointing fish?
The ancient Chinese compass was called different things depending on the method used, but in the case of the fish compass, it was called that because the metal they used was cut into the shape of a fish to show directionality.
Essentially:
- A sliver of steel or iron cut in a pointed shape, preferably the outline of a fish.
- Prepared by heater very red hot and quenched while being held pointed south
- When the compass is to be used a small bowl is filled with water and the tiny sliver of metal is placed on the water. The surface tension supports it and it will function as a compass pointing south.
Who invented ancient Chinese cannons?
Did they exist? Yes, they did. But it's not the same idea as British canons (the giant metal thing on wheels with canon balls inside).
A canon back then was a tube with a fire cracker at the end. There is a wick protruding from the side of the tube (usually made of bamboo), which leads to gunpowder inside.
First, soldiers positioned the canon to where they want it fired, then they lit the wick and watched it go!
