    Few substances in history have had as profound an effect on human history as gunpowder... and its discovery was an accident! Ancient alchemists in China spent centuries trying to discover an elixir of life that would render the user immortal. One important ingredient in many of the failed elixirs was saltpeter, also known as potassium nitrate.

China - Gunpowder - 8 views

    These inventions impacted war in many ways, and one of them was the ground. Before cannons, there weren't any hole making weapons but when cannons came along the ground started getting big holes in it. When you fire a cannon ball and it hits the earth, it will explode, and when it explodes it will make a very big hole that will cause many things.

Confucius - 6 views

  •  
    This source is helpful for Confucianism as it explains how Confucius' teachings over time and how Confucianism came about. This source is very helpful for some of my focus questions. ;)

    This website is really helpful for those doing Confucianism because it really goes into detail about his life and how he began his teachings. Really helpful for those who really need the help. :)
  •  
    Confucius (551-479BC), or Kong Zi, was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School (Confucian) of Chinese thought. His teachings, preserved in the Analects , form the foundation of much of subsequent Chinese speculation on education. Confucius' surname is Kong, his given name Qiu, and his social name Zhongni. This was a good website because it helped me understand who confucius was and it gave me some information on his achievements and Confucianism.

    Gunpowder or black powder is of great historical importance in chemistry. Although it can explode, its principal use is as a propellant. Gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the 9th century. Originally, it was made by mixing elemental sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate).

    This site utilises less complex language to explain the origins, how feet were bound and some facts on the practice of foot binding.

  •  
    Many people have looked at beautifully decorated silk shoes from China and wondered if they were for a child or a doll. They are surprised to find that these pairs of shoes, some of which are only a little over three inches in length were actually meant to be worn by grown women.

    This site provides a less challenging read regarding the practice of foot binding in ancient China, its origins and the impact it had on those who had their feet bound.
