    See, also, China: A Legal History. It was both the spirit and the intent of Han Fei's legalism, as it came, from time to time, to dominate Chinese law, that punishment for all crimes would be harsh and universal.

    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.

    This is a snap shot of what the website is like "The gunpowder used for military purpose was first recorded in 919 A.D. By the 11th century, explosive bombs filled with gunpowder and fired from catapults were introduced and used in China. The words "fire cannon", "rocket", "missile" and "fireball" appeared time and again in the official Song history as well as two other books written during the same period."

    The primary purpose of the Great Wall was to provide a measure of protection and warning against impending northern (and sometimes southern) invasions. The Great Wall also served the purpose of preventing invaders from bringing horses in or stolen goods out. Really good info to find out its purpose

    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.

    China is not the only country in history that has built a wall on its boundary. Athens, Rome, Denmark and Korea also did the same in the past. The Hadrian's Wall in Northern England was also built to separate the Romans from barbarians. All were built for the purpose of defending their country against its invaders.

    Silk was discovered around 30 BC in Ancient China. They made it from silkworm cocoons by unwinding them and then weaving them into clothes. They usually made the traditional robe that was popular for daily wear at that time, and the robe is now more commonly ceremonial dress attire.

    Currency was unified by Emperor Qin Shi Huang after he unified China. Gold was considered as high-grade currency, and "banliang", the round copper coin with a square hole in the middle, was regarded as low-grade currency; they were circulated nationwide.

    Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 BC - 210 BC) fascinates people when they talk about the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses - his two greatest achievements to China. As the first emperor of China, he indeed has a profound influence on Chinese history and culture.

    Calligraphy literally means "good writing". However, Chinese calligraphy cannot be defined as just "writing" Chinese characters. Neither can it be described as a way of making Chinese characters look "more beautiful". These are misassumptions often made. The most important aspect of it is, that it is an emotional form of art, as it carries the thoughts and feelings of the artist.
