    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.

    Printing, paper money, porcelain, tea, restaurants, gunpowder, the compass-the number of things that Chinese of the Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1280) gave to the world is mind-boggling. This vibrant period in Chinese history was marked by economic prosperity and remarkable technological innovation. In this interview, China expert Robin D. S. Really good info for any invention.

    The Great Wall of China was built by the ancient Chinese to keep out invaders from other parts of Asia. Emperor Shi Huangdi, Chinas's first Emperor, ordered that the building begin more than 2000 years ago. He wanted all the smaller walls that had been built earlier to be joined together to form one Great Wall. this website discusses the year, the emperor and how long it has been around for. this website is great for anyone reaserching about the Great Wall of China.

    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 website has a brief summary of the history of silk and the method of making silk which I found very helpful for my assignment
  • kelsey smith on 23 May 12
     
    "A silkworm spins all its silk till its death and a candle won't stop its tears until it is fully burnt." This Tang poem accurately describes the property of the silkworm. Despite technological development, a silkworm can only produce a certain amount of silk---1000 meters (3280feet) in its lifespan of 28 days.

    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

    Who was Confucius? Why was he famous? Confucius was China's most famous philosopher. A government official, he saw growing disorder in the system and set out to develop a moral code based on respect, honesty, education, kindness and strong family bonds. His teachings are the basis for religious and moral life in China.
