Ancient China was home to a precious stone called jade, it was thought to have immortality powers.(Cotterell)
Government: In the text it said that, ''In 221 B.C. the first chinese empire formed.'' The empire had its first emperor in 221-207 B.C. They even thought he would stay powerful after death due to the mandate of heaven. (Cotterell)
Location: On page 34 it mentions they live on the countryside and worked in fields. It also states that china had a rich yellow soil from the mongolian dessert. China being located in Asia helped it grow with the benefits it led to. (Cotterell)
Writing: On page 11 it says an ox bone or tortoiseshell was scorched over fire until it cracked. The Shang kings used the oracle bones to get advice from their ancestral spirits. The answers to their questions were shown on the bones with the various cracks.( Cotterell 11)
Religion: On page 12 it said the constant turmoil in ancient China led a man named confucius to develop a new outlook based on kindness and respect. He sums up his beliefs in one sentence ''Let the prince be a prince, the minister a minister, the father a father, and the son a son''. This philosophy became a popular religion called confucianism. (Cotterell 12)
