China has been a source of many inventions, including the Four Great Inventions : papermaking, the compass, gunpowder, and printing (both woodblock and movable type). The list below contains these and other inventions. The Chinese invented technologies involving mechanics, hydraulics, and mathematics applied to horology, metallurgy, astronomy, agriculture, engineering, music theory, craftsmanship, nautics, and warfare.

Confucius (551-479 BCE), according to Chinese tradition, was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought. His teachings, preserved in the Lunyu or Analects, form the foundation of much of subsequent Chinese speculation on the education and comportment of the ideal man, how such an individual should live his life and interact with others, and the forms of society and government in which he should participate.

Qin Dynasty (221 B.C - 206 B.C.). After uniting China from seven ducal states, the emperor connected and extended four old fortification walls along the north of China that originated about 700 B.C. (over 2500 years ago). Armies were stationed along the wall as a first line of defense against the invading Tsongnoo tribes north of China.

It is most widely believed that it were the Chinese people who discovered gunpowder. It was from here that the recipe of gunpowder spread quickly to the rest of the world. However, like most other discoveries of ancient times, there are contenders other than the Chinese for the title 'Who invented gunpowder'.

The Importance of the Great Wall The Great Wall, China's legendary defense line, is the country's number one historic monument and a national symbol. Although the vast majority of the remaining sections of the Great Wall were erected during the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall represents a collective effort of millions of people from many of China's imperial dynasties and pre-imperial states, dating back to over 2500 years ago. this website gives great factual information about the Great Wall. this website tells you the height of the Great Wall, how it protected China, the measures taken by the Chinese Government to protect the Great Wall and many more handy facts.

It is a good web book with lots of information on legalism

Legalism was a philosophy of administration in ancient China. Upon first acquaintance with this system it seems no more than a rationalization by political administrators for their having total political control of their societies. This website is very helpful about the purpose and origin of Legalism

This website was very helpful in the explanation of the introduction of legalism. It is very clear about the way the government adopted Legalism and helped me clarify my information about how legalism arose through the Warring States period and its main purpose.

Very informative website with good facts.
