What development took place in china under mao zedong?
Under Mao, the dysfunctional KMT government was replaced by the government of the "People's Republic". In practice, the country was governed on an ad-hoc basis, with Mao as paramount leader and other party functionaries filling necessary government roles. Constitutional rule was not re-established until six years after Mao's death, in 1982, when Deng Xiaoping passed the country's current constitution.
The Mao period started off by consolidating control over the country, finally reunited after over a century of imperialist and warlord rule; new provincial boundaries were established, with many provinces shrunk, expanded, created, or removed entirely. A system of "Autonomous Regions", based on the Autonomous Okrugs of the Soviet Union, was established for the Mongolian, Zhuang, Tibetan, Uighur and Hui minorities. For the first seventeen years of the PRC, the country was governed along fairly orthodox Marxist-Leninist lines.
In 1966, seeing his power based threatened by Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, his attempt at establishing agrarian "People's Democracy" and eliminate the rising power of party hierarchs. In practice, however, the Cultural Revolution merely plunged the country into chaos, and the Leninist system was rebuilt after Mao's death. It is typically believed that the interventions of Zhou Enlai and the PLA prevented the Cultural Revolution from causing the complete collapse of the government under Mao.
After 1976, Mao's political program was abandoned. The governing system in place today has been dramatically changed since the end of the Mao period, with constitutional rule, formal offices, a functioning legal system, and a technocracy built on Leninist lines.

The dynasty's (and China) became weaker, as the rest of the world evolved e.g. Briatin overtook China during the industrial revolution, followed by the rest of Europe.
With the weakened Dyansty and natural disasters, there was room for a rebellion.

What was Confucius's achievements?
Little is known for certain about the life of Confucius. Many traditional stories about him are now regarded as myths. Our most reliable source of information about him and his beliefs is the Lunyu (Lun-yü, or Analects), a collection of sayings by and about Confucius and his disciples. The Analects is divided into 20 books that are the length of chapters. Most scholars think that books 1 to 15 contain a large amount of authentic material.
Confucius saw himself as a "transmitter and not a creator." He believed that he was merely teaching the dao (tao, or Way) of China's ancient sages. However, he was more original than he realized. The Analects is the earliest Chinese text that stresses the concept of ren (jen). Ren has been translated as "benevolence," "humaneness," or simply "goodness." For Confucius, ren is the summation of human virtues. Ren is a quality that every human should strive to achieve, but it is so exalted that Confucius is wary of attributing ren to anyone. Thus for Confucius, the good life is an endless aspiration for ethical perfection.
In one traditional Confucian view, ren has two aspects: loyalty and reciprocity. Loyalty is considered a commitment to the Way, while reciprocity means "not inflicting on others that which you do not want yourself." An alternative view is that renis the perfect combination of a much longer list of virtues, including loyalty, reciprocity, wisdom, courage, righteousness, filial piety, and faithfulness. Wisdom has several aspects, including being a good judge of the character of others. Courage is lack of fear in doing what is right. Righteousness is doing what is appropriate for one's role, as father, son, teacher, or student, for example. Filial piety is acting out of love and respect for one's parents. Faithfulness includes honesty in word, but also involves not being glib.

What was the role for men and women in ancient Hawaii?
What I have been taught by my grandparents was that that each family had their own profession in old Hawai'i. It was the responsibility of the father to care for the physical well being of his family by means of work. To be sure the the proper spiritual rituals had been taken cared of, and to be sure the the children were educated properly. Such care did not just mean work out side of the home but also meant to cook and to clean. Women had the heavy responsibility to birth and care for the spiritual and emotional well-being of their children. Being sure that they understood the purpose of life and their role in it as well as their responsibility to their family, their people and their Akua. The wife always had the respnisibility to help and sustain her husband in any situations that were possible under spiritual and political standings. That is to my understanding the basic layout to the roles of men and women in ancient Hawai'i.
