The Silk Road - 2 views

  •  
    This is a really great website for anyone doing the Silk Road. It provides excellent detail about what was traded along the Silk Road and the problems the merchants faced while travelling along it. The website also explains that the Silk Road was much more than a trading route. Finally, the website explores how the Silk Road was developed and how the trade along it declined
  •

Confucianism - 14 views

  •  
    Confucius has proved to be the greatest influence over the Chinese character. Besides being a great educationist, thinker and unsuccessful politician, he was first of all an intellect with a noble morality. He pursued truth, kindness and perfection throughout his life and his success and failure were largely due to his character, which had an everlasting impact on Chinese intellect.

The Terracotta Army; How and Why did the Emperor make it? - 2 views

  •  
    The Terracotta Army is one of the top attractions in China, because of its historical significance and uniqueness. It is significant because the hundreds of detailed lifesize models represent the army that triumphed over all other Chinese armies, and who were the decisive factor in forming a united China.

World History: China: Confucius - 0 views

  •  
    Confucius (Kong Fu Zi), a humble man from poor beginnings, became so influential that his teachings inspired a philosophy, a religion, and a way of life that has lasted until today. From his basic "sayings" in The Analects, or discussions, there developed a philosophy, a social system and a political system which was based on harmony, tolerance, and merit.

    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.

    this website is good for people who are doing gunpowder.
  •  
    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).
