  2. When China WAS the World Objective: Trace the development and major achievements of Chinese civilization during various key dynasties, such as the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song.

  3. China’s First Dynasties (4.4) • Xia Dynasty: According to legend, Fu Xi founded the Xia dynasty in 2800 BCE and was part god and part man. Archeological evidence from this time period is sketchy at best! During this time period, people settled in the area of Sumer and Sargon I created the world’s first empire. The Egyptian and Indus Valley civilizations were in full force, and Minoan civilizations was developing in Greece. • Shang Dynasty (1700 to 1027 BCE): This bronze age civilization centered around the Yellow River in the Henan Valley and the capital was Anyang. This era is marked by ancestor worship, oracle bones, an agricultural society, the beginnings of Chinese writing, advanced bronze metallurgy, a structured court life and human sacrifices in the king’s tombs. Elsewhere in the world, Hammurabi was king of Babylon, Hatshepsut was pharaoh of Egypt and the Aryans ruled India. • Zhou Dynasty (1027 to 221 BCE): The Zhou invaded the Shang Dynasty and introduced the Mandate of Heaven. The Zhou learned how to use iron and began using chopsticks! Due to invasions, the Zhou had to move their capital from Xian (Western Zhou) to Luoyang (Eastern Zhou). The Eastern Zhou is also known as the Warring States Era. During this time Confucius wrote his analects and Daoism flourished. Things were changing quickly all around the world! The Persian Empire had come and gone, as had the empire of Alexander the Great! Judaism and Buddhism (through the work of Ashoka and the Mauryan Empire) become established world religions, and the Roman Republic is giving way to the Roman Empire.
