Ancient China
Government: On page 16 it says, "Chinese felt that unity was normal". They thought that because Zheng was a very harsh leader and so it made them think that life was supposed to be like that. (Cotterell pg. 16)
Commerce (Trade): On page 58 it said Commerce in ancient China was essential to its growth and connection with other civilizations. According to Allen Cotterell in Ancient China “The Silk Road became a major artery of trade, linking China with Central Asia and beyond.” Through these routes, merchants exchanged silk, spices, and metals, helping to spread wealth, culture, and innovation across the empire. (Cotterell pg. 58-59)
Technology: On page 24 it says, their making of paper had improved. I know this because it says, “Credit for the successful manufacture of paper is given to Cai Lun, head of the imperial workshops in A.D. 105.” Cai Lun made it successful manufacture of paper in 105 A.D. and it was how paper became so popular. (Cotterell pg. 24)
Writing: On page 11 it said "the Shang kings used oracle bones to consult the ancestral spirits." The people would use an ox bone or a tortoiseshell, scorching it until it cracks. They would read the cracks to find the answer, ultimately inscribing it on the bone. (Cotterell pg. 11)
Art: On page 56 it says, that China has always been known for there arts and crafts. It also says, "luxury goods formed the major export commodities". Chinese also a lot of love for art. (Cotterell 56)
Location: on page 40 it says, "Each ward was sounder by walls with gates that were locked every evening... often visiting friends or relatives would have to stay over night". This might that once they closed the gates then they wouldn't be back opened until morning. (Cotterell pg. 40)
Religion: On page 54 it says, "The garden was a place for quite thought and spiritual refreshment." They were saying in this that people would go there for quite or spiritual refreshment. (Cotterell pg. 54)
