Clue # 1 Did you know? A dynasty is when a family rules a region or country for a long length in 1587. of time. Ancient China was one of the longest lasting ancient civilizations - and one of the most advanced at the time. There were 13 dynasties in ancient China beginning with the Xia dynasty and ending with the Qing. An emperor or king rules and then the heir takes over upon the ruler’s death – usually the eldest son. Silk Road The Silk Road began during the Han Dynasty. The Silk Road wasn’t really a road, but a 4,000 mile trade route that extended from China to Eastern Europe (Rome). Instead of a single route along the Silk Road, there were many unpaved routes. Some were shorter, but more dangerous. Other routes were safer, but took longer to travel. The Silk Road served as a way to transfer and trade materials. Merchants and tradesmen traveled along the Silk Road in caravans led by camels. The Silk Road allowed trade and commerce of goods between lands. This allowed products, inventions, culture, and ideas to travel and spread. The trade route was named the Silk Road because a major product traded along the route was silk cloth. In fact, Romans called China the “land of silk”. Exported goods (taken out of China and sold to others) included teas, salt, sugar, porcelain, silk, and spices. In return, imports (purchases brought into China) were expensive luxury goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver. Unfortunately, sometimes disease was carried along the Silk Road, including the bubonic plague also known as Black Death. Question How many dynasties did Ancient China have?

Chinese techniques sharply contrasted with the Middle Eastern and European bronze development that relied on annealing, cold working and hammering. The bronze alloys were difficult to shape by hammering due to the alloy combination of the natural ores found in China. Furthermore, China had an abundance of clay and loess materials and the Chinese had spent the Neolithic period working with and mastering clay, to the point that it has been said that bronze casting was made possible only because the bronze makers had access to superior ceramic technology.

Ermerins: The Forever Army The Forever Army: Qin Shi Huang Di’s Terracotta Warriors Qin Shi Huang Di’s glory and military and architectural genius are represented beautifully by his Terra Cotta Army. It is a stunning display of warriors, horses, chariots, and weapons. Made of rammed earth and wood beams, the tomb is an architectural marvel. The fragile warriors have managed to survive for over 2,000 years despite the wood ceiling collapsing on them. The workers accomplished an amazing feat. They built the tomb, pottered the warriors, collected lacquer, painted, and made weapons all in one lifetime. The tomb mound is said to be a glorious array of bronze statues and rivers of mercury. The army is truly a wonder of the world. Qin Shi Haung Di, the first man to unify China and the first Chinese emperor, was a great leader of ancient China.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: the ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN DURING THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION, AUGUST 1966-JANUARY 1967 Zehao Zhou, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor James Gao, Department of History This dissertation examines the attacks on the Three Kong Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Cemetery) in Confucius’s birthplace Qufu, Shandong Province at the start of the Cultural Revolution. During the height of the campaign against the Four Olds in August 1966, Qufu’s local Red Guards attempted to raid the Three Kong Sites but failed. In November 1966, Beijing Red Guards came to Qufu and succeeded in attacking the Three Kong Sites and leveling Confucius’s tomb. In January 1967, Qufu peasants thoroughly plundered the Confucius Cemetery for buried treasures. This case study takes into consideration all related participants and circumstances and explores the complicated events that interwove dictatorship with anarchy, physical violence with ideological abuse, party conspiracy with mass mobilization, cultural destruction with revolutionary indo ctrination, ideological vandalism with acquisitive vandalism, and state violence with popular violence. This study argues that the violence against the Three Kong Sites was not a typical episode of the campaign against the Four Olds with outside Red Guards as the principal actors but a complex process involving multiple players, intraparty strife, Red Guard factionalism, bureaucratic plight, peasant opportunism, social ecology, and ever- evolving state-society relations. This study also maintains that Qufu locals’ initial protection of the Three Kong Sites and resistance to the Red Guards were driven more by their bureaucratic obligations and self-interest rather than by their pride in their cultural heritage.

Museum of the Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, Xi’an 710600, China Received 17 February 2009; accepted 17 June 2009 Abstract: The chemical compositions and microstructures of the armor strips excavated from the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum were examined systematically by using optical microscopy and electron microscopy. It was found that the armor strips were made of pure copper. Based on the morphology of α-Cu recrystal grain and copper sulphide (Cu2S) inclusions in the armor strips, the manufacturing techniques were proposed as follows: smelting pure copper, casting a lamellar plate, forming the cast ingots into sheets through repeated cold forging combined with annealing heat treatment, and finally cutting the sheets into filaments. Furthermore, through the deformation of copper sulphide (Cu2S) inclusions in the strips, the work rate during forging was evaluated and calculated to be close to 75%. Key words: Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum; armor strips; copper; manufacturing techniques; cold forging; annealing complex techniques were employed. However, the 1 Introduction ancient technicians could not manufacture such slender armor strips with the same process in the productive In 1998, the stone armors were excavated in the condition over 2 000 years ago.
