Summary:
This unit is about the philosophies, empires, dynasties, and religions found in Classical India and China. In Classical India, Hinduism and Buddhism, the new religions, were discovered. In Classical China, Confucianism was more like a Philosophy than religion because Kong Qui, the founder of Confucianism, believed that creating a Philosophy would create peace. The Dynasties in China were called Zhou, Han, and Qin Dynasties. Each Dynasty had new innovations and rulers in China. Also each Dynasty became successful and the Emperors were chosen by the Gods. A Dynasty takes over another Dynasty when the ruler dies and/or the empire has more weaknesses than strengths. |
