    Wobbling Pivot: Chapter 1 summary

    What happened in chapter 1 The Wobbling pivot was that there was two men fighting over a bicycle and there were people listening to them in Tianamen Square. There was a riot that had happened in China where there was a riot that happened and there were a lot of people protesting for domestic traqulity in Bejing. In the streets of Changchun there were people in taxis and most of them that took a ride was businessman and foreigners because the fares prices were very high. There were policeman that were extremely violent or didn’t care about their actions about how they treated people in certain cities and china as a whole was corrupted. For example when some girl had been raped and killed there was no justice against that and the family pleaded for a trial and they got it but it took a while. Another example is when the girl had got murdered and was raped and she died and the young girl funeral was held but officials said that killing is not a crime. Also there were people trying to fight for their individual rights like people had anger over the unsafe mines and the polluted water that was not safe to drink. There were unsafe working conditions and endless demands of local officials for bribes and sex privileges. There had been a problem with the farming with the water supplies poisoned and their crops being ruined and there could be rising incidences of cancer and that was a panic. There were peoples homes destroyed for no apparent reason and if they resisted thousands were fined and even going to jail some of the time. The main two things that the officials wanted were money and power which they only got if from family or any kind of racial connections. There were many cities that were under attack in China and the people still protested and many were killed and very few police officers. If you broke any laws in China you may have been sentenced to death regarding these protests. There were other things like Education, public safety; food security and culture…

    Some believed that the Bubonic plague laid the foundation for the economic growth and democracy. It killed 30 to 60 percent of Europe. This caused the caste system that had been in existence for hundreds of years to fall apart. This created higher wages and increase land owning. Also, in 868 CE the first book was printed in China. If printing was not invented in China(730 CE) then we would not have been able to record information or data. We would also not be able to look back on previous books and learn from them. If we did not have printing we wouldn't have even been able to learn from our actual history book which we use in our classes today and which I am using now.…

Qin Shihuangdi, the king of Qin born a peasant; proclaimed himself the first emperor and what would rule for thousands of generations. Unfortunately, the Qin had a relatively short dynastic cycle, the cycle that every dynasty goes through where it comes to power, rules and the falls apart. The Qin dynasty established a sense of centralized Imperial rule that later set the the foundation for later Emperors to Emulate. Even in that short period of time, they are going to have more of a lasting and have a profound impact on Chinese culture.

    Analysis Of The Mandate Of Heaven

    One interesting subject from the lecture presented on the sixteenth of September, was the Mandate of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven is an ancient belief or theory of the Chinese that heaven sends the emperors of China with virtue and propriety. The emperor or ruler was considered to be the son of heaven and expected to be good and responsible. A ruler, however, can lose the mandate if he is unable to or does not live up to his responsibilities. Natural disasters were interpreted as signs from heaven of its opposition toward the ruler like famine or flooding. Also, if the peasants would revolt against the ruler that meant that the ruler had lost his support from heaven. There were no particular rules about who the ruler may be and it did not…

    Dowager Queen

    A major fault the country of China continuously experienced was having poor leaders at critical times. For years the leaders of China thrived from the self-sustaining country, but the pretentiousness led to the idea China was the center of the world. This false ideology caused a lag in the full development of the country, and China fell far behind the rest of the world in terms of military, technology, and government. By far one of the most devastating, but influential people who contributed to the history of the Chinese was a woman by the name of Cixi.…
