History of China

they traded silk, gold, slaves , silver and socks

The Han Dynasty lasted for 426 years (206 B.C. to 220 A.D.).

My short and indirect answer is this- I believe the world is fortunate that Communism has been in control of China for so long. They are an enterprising and intelligent people. Their drive for gain is unequaled. Just imagine a resourseful ,Democratic and determined nation of 1.4 billion, with each individual given capitalist freedom.

The communist government there is slowly pulling the stops out -with a free market economy. We are seeing the results now, the controls can't stay in place much longer. The Chinese are buying into foreign mining companies and buying up huge mineral leases in a scale that's hard to describe.

There are 350 million middle class there and they traditionally like to show their wealth in Gold. The government has recently lifted the possession limit from 3 ounces to unlimited. Watch out world!

Corruption, In a system where the final word is that of the party corruption is rife, the communist party exists by force of arms and in time this may lead to a mellowing in the system where it becomes a socialist system that treats the citizens of the country equally. If it were a totally capitalistic system the poorest would definitely be left to rot.

outspread communism to other countries

While the head of China isn't an emperor, but a president (H.E. Hu Jintao), several royal lines, namely the descendants of the Han, Tang, Song, Ming Emperors are likely still alive and well. If migration, bloodline, and ancestry are traced, one will find what could be the equivalent of heads of Royal Families still holding given clan names. Zhu Rongji is one such candidate.

Mao launched the Great Leap Forward of 1958 because he wanted to close the gap with the West within 5 years by modernising China's economy. He wanted to develop agriculture as well as industry, these had to be carried out simultaneously as the industrial workers required food and the agricultural workers requires good machinery.

Yes, the Chinese were very successful gold miners in the gold rush, and this is one of the reasons why they were disliked so much. They were successful at finding gold, but were not accepted by Australian society.

During the gold rushes, the Chinese kept to themselves. They were shunned by Australians because the Chinese were much harder-working, and subsequently tended to find more gold. They were resented for this, and for the fact that Australians just did not understand their language. Australians tended to regard the Chinese as secretive, and btherefore a threat.

The Chinese often sent the gold they found back to their own country, and Australians did not appreciate the wealth being sent out of their own country. For this reason, groups of Australians would sometimes turn on the Chinese, injuring and even killing them. The Chinese were often subjected to being scalped, and their possessions wrecked or looted.

The goldfields were not safe places for the Chinese - simply because they had a better work ethic.

They think it's a god or demon of some sort. They worship it, so I guess it's just their culture. The dragon is discribed as the most powerful being in China. Myths say it can summon rain, sunshine etc. some dragons can comtrol the weather while others control the earth. A legend says that there was once 4 dragons:the red dragon, the yellow dragon, the black dragon and pearl dragon. One dragon loved the earth and when he saw that the emperor would not let rain fall on a village, he took pity on that village. gathering, the 4 dragons each took a mouthful of water and spread it over the village. When the emperor saw what they did, he got angry and imprisoned them. A nimth took pity on them since they were only trying to help and turned them into China's most important rivers: the red river, the yellow river, the black river and the pearl river. Also our ancestors envied their aility to fly. This is why dragons are so important to china. Resource:My mom, who spent her childhood in China.

Constant conflict with the Manchu left the Ming Dynasty weary. Between 1623 and 1628 they failed and were unable to recapture rule over the Manchu. The Manchu were able to infiltrate the ranks of the Ming Dynasty, enlisting Ming officials as advisors. By 1636, the Manchu campaign had been so successful, their leader was able to declare the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, defeat of traditional ally, Korea by Manchu forces lead to reunification of the Ming Dynasty by Korean officials.

Geography influences people. Just as a Mediterranean climate tends to make people more easy going, and a harsh winter climate makes people desperate to get their chores done quickly before winter sets in. People (society) develope as a nation, based upon that "relaxed attitude" (Mediterranian) or that "hurry up...winters coming" (Harsh Country) personality. In this case, China was NOT an island, which caused it to take things in stride, no urgency, no unity, just do business and make a profit. Japan was an island. No resources, live by the sea with trade and develope self supporting ways...or perish. When Western Imperialism came to the East, China was too disorganized to confront it. And were very nearly carved up into possessions of the Western powers. China did manage to defend itself, but not as well as it could have. The Boxer Rebellion (1900) being one example. Japan was far quicker to react. Japan's survival instinct had already been in place due to the "Island" mentality of survival mentioned above. When Western Imperialism raised it's ugly head, Japan immediately built up it's military to confront it. Then built it up even stronger to not only defeat Western Powers, but to become an Imperialist herself, thus creating a larger fence for enemies to have penetrate before reaching Japan itself.

It is believed that daoism started over 2000 years ago

Warring states period ended when one single powerful state, Qin, conquered the rest of the states, establishing Qin dynasty. The Emperor of the state proclaimed himself as Qin Shi Huang or First Emperor of China. However, his dynasty was shortlived. It soon ended as a result of rebellion and finally Han dynasty was established instead.

The ruling families of China are referred to as a "dynasty". The practice of dynasties has been in place in China since ancient times.

Some years ago a circular shaped stone with a man-made hole in it was found in or near the Sacramento River in California. These stones were also found in China, and were once used as ship anchors during ancient times. Naturally, some people are saying that it's not an anchor, and some are saying that it might be an anchor. If it is an anchor, then Zheng He may have reached California.

No it did not come from the Han dynasty it came from the Qin Dynasty.
