1. The Zhou dynasty was the longest ruler in Chinese history from 1046 to 771 BC. Their period contributed to the zenith of making Chinese bronze accessories. Also, the written script evolved into its almost modern form. An important contribution is also the development of the origin of the famous Chinese philosophy.
Han Dynasty ruled China from 206 BC until 220 CE. This dynasty developed institutions and maintained bureaucracy and army through a more efficient system of taxation, more successful than many of the then empires. Also, in order to increase revenue, monopolies have been established on iron and salt. They have extended the boundaries to today's South China, far beyond the traditional heartland of China that was in the valley of the Yellow River.
The Tang Dynasty ruled China from 618 to 907. They introduced cosmopolitanism as an urban dynasty, opening China to external influences. It was the largest and most powerful dynasty in China's history and is considered to be the golden age of China. They dominated their neighbors and China continued to expand north-east and south. During their reign, many other state societies developed under their influence, such as Korea, Japan and Tibet, and thus, in this period, it was established a tributary state system.
The Qing dynasty ruled China from 1644 to 1911. They maintained borders in almost today's contexts, unlike many empires that then swept away territories under the influence of the West and the collapse of empires in general, such as Turkey. They were successfully controlled by regions such as Tibet, Manchuria, Mongolia who have always harassed China. They were known for master diplomacy, and they expanded their influence on Southeast Asia and the Himalayan Asia.
2. According to the advice of the chief counselor, burning of books was necessary to prevent comparison by scientists what kind of government was in the past. Â
The Han Dynasty established the government after four years of civil war that began with peasant uprisings to overthrow the previous despotic Qin dynasty. The imperial rule of this dynasty relied on legalism and Confucius thought. They retained the centralized bureaucracy and the unique political system of the predecessors, but according to Confucius, they adopted the view that the government should be run by educated ethical people.
After several costly and catastrophic defeats against Goguryeo of one of the three Korean kingdoms, the dynasty broke up under a series of bitter dissatisfied national insurgents. Â These riots culminated in the murder of Yang by his ministers in 618.
3. During these two dynasties, many inventions have been invented that have definitely changed history such as printing, paper money, tea, toilet paper, restaurants, compass and gunpowder. Gun powder was invented even during the Tang Dynasty and was imroved during the Song dynasty, which was known for its inventions and engineers. Thus, the earliest bombs ejected from the catapults, the earliest developed pipes of guns and cannons. Thus, the mode of warfare was a radical exchange, enabled distant combat, greater losses for the enemy, and created a primacy because the gunpowder trade was also improved the economy. The way of fighting is changing around the world, the tactics of the battle are changed and the old ways of war are completely replaced.
4. After the death of the remaining emperor, Song era in China was over, while Kublai Khan established the reign of the Mongolian dynasty Yuan over China.
5. The Ming Dynasty ruled China from 1368 to 1644, succeeded the Mongol Dynasty of Yuan, and they were succeeded by Qing dynasty. It is considered one of the most incompetent Chinese dynasties. The Chinese government wanted to focus on internal improvements and to protect itself from external "barbaric and uncivilized world". Thus, trade was limited, which is vital for the state. Also, Zheng He had made great progress in exploration, perhaps even better than the Europeans at the time, this would mean the discovery of many resourcefull lands, but due to isolationism he was stopped. Also, the fleet improvement has been stopped, on the pretext that they are expensive, because in their opinion, the main threats came from Mongols from the north.
