Ancient China

An essay on ancient China can be educational but also very fun and interesting. China differs from other culteres by its wide range of topics such as government, religion, and its ethics...... I hope you find this essay very informative and the info. not to be wrong.

Geography has always played a important role in Chinas history. Beca-use of Chinas enormous size it has always been hard to conquer and even harder to unite. China is split into three parts by three river vallies, the Haung, the
Chang, and the Xia.

Because of heavy rainfall. Major flooding took place all the time and in reaction to this the floods would wash away good soil used for farming It would also wash away cities, and villages with records and stuff like that.

Most of the rest of China is covered with mountains or is very dry and hilly, and on the northwest border of China there is a huge, cold desert called the Gobi. Because of this, the north-west part of China was extre-mely less populated. A Lot of the features of China have kept itself isolated so they have really evulutioned all by itself without much outeside activity.

Chinas history did not really have (or mention) leaders, it really just mentioned dynesties. Chinas had three dynasties. The first of which was the Xia
(2,000 b.c. to 1,500 b.c.) except for ancient legions one really doesn't know much about the Xia rulers. In 1,500 b.c. the Xia rulers were overthrown and the
Shang dynasty came into focus and into place.

During the Shang dynasty, Chinese artists were busy making beautiful art figures, religious stuff, and were making weapons out of bronze.

Even though the Shang dynasty lasted for several hundred years most of the rulers were extremely viscious and had fun playing games of torture The nobles lived very rich lives and were treated very good in contrast to the peasents who were extravigatingly poor and were spit upon as if they were the scum of the earth even

    Usually inbreeding is a great tool used to get more of the desired traits in livestock, but when it comes to wild animals the outcome is not as successful. I feel that inbreeding is only harmful to wild animals because unlike domesticated animals wild animals are not in a controlled environment. I believe that there is much more effort put into conserving endangered species in the wild. After all the programs made for red wolves, they still seem to not be at the desired or expected population…
