Communications and Writing
Logographic Writing was used
Previous writing was quite pictographic, lesser so after 'lesser-seal' writing was created
symbols represented concepts themselves, not pictures or appearance
Made much more of a dramatic impression of readers because instead of just looking at pictures, you're absorbing concepts directly as you read.
Li Si (Calligrapher, Philosopher, and Prime Minister in the Qin Dynasty) standardized the writing system to be a uniform size and shape across the whole country
Credited with creating the 'lesser-seal' form of calligraphy which set the path for how chinese writing evolved over the years
It is still used in some cards, writing etc. even today
Religion
Believed in Shen (roughly translated into 'spirit' or 'gods')
Rituals were conducted to ensure the dead journeyed and stayed in the 'other realm' and to receive blessings from the gods
Offered animal sacrifices to contact the world of their gods
The dead were have said to just have moved from one world to another
Religious Practices were held in Shrines and Sacred Areas, which contained sacrificial altars
Senses of participants were covered by smoke, music and incense
lead sacrificer would fast and meditate before a ritual to further blur their senses and increase the likelihood of experiencing otherworld phenomenons
Other participants would undergo similar preparations, though not as rigorously.
Divination was another kind of religious practice
Was used to predict the future or influence the future
A common practice was cracking turtle shells or bones to gain knowledge of the future
Forms of divination sprung up during early imperial china, and were very diverse, though observing natural phenomena was quite common
Comets, eclipses and draughts were considered omens of things to come
