Changes And Continuities In Ancient China

China went through many significant changes and continuities. Many ideas that involved society, religion, innovations and arts were many of the things that either got modified or remained the same. In Ancient China between (221 B.C.E) to (1271 C.E) China had. To begin with, during China's earliest stages, it began with the Han Dynasty, where agriculture was the main focus but as time went on, the dynasty came to a halt and a new ruler would step in. This ruler's name was Sui Wen-Ti and during the Sui Dynasty he brought China back together until it hit its downfall around 618 C.E, and the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to rise. During this dynasty, China became more stable with a strong central government, economic revolution, agriculture
improved by its infrastructure and that led to an increase in population, which led to urbanization, the interaction with others, and the spread of Chinese culture and art with poems, paintings, and other pieces of literature. Like the other dynasties, the Tang dynasty eventually fell around 906 C.E and then around 960 C.E. the Song Dynasty arose. Once again, agriculture kept improving and the population kept increasing by a large amount, and as it grew, more people began to live in cities. Other things like the government and culture changed as well. The government took a turn by allowing only highly educated scholar-officials (who were selected by writing exams) into the upper-level government, and the culture added the binding of women's feet. Eventually, the Song Dynasty fell around 1279 C.E. because of the Mongols. .
