Test Date: Wed, Mar. 2 (A1) / Thu, Mar. 3 (B4) Test Structure: 1 Essay (50 points), 2 Short Answer (paragraphs) (10 points each), 30 Objective (multiple choice or matching) (30 points)

Essay Question: 50 points 1. We know that Confucianism triumphed – with modifications – during the “Han synthesis” of Emperor Han Wudi and the ideas of Dong Zhongshu (“Heaven, Earth, and Man”). More interesting is how unlikely that triumph was, considering the history of the previous 1,000 years. You know enough of that history now to appreciate this story by trying to tell it – so: trace the fate of Western Zhou ideology and Confucianism in Chinese history from these main points:  Inspiration: Western Zhou Kings Wen and Wu, the Duke of Zhou, and their main texts, 1000 bce.  Eastern Zhou chaos, 750.  Confucius, 500 bce.  Qin Shi Huangdi, 220.  Liu Bang, 200.  Wudi and Dong Zhongshu (“Heaven, Earth, and Man”), 150 bce.

2 Extended Response / Short Answer Questions: 10 points x 2 = 20 points 1. Explain the lasting impact on the Qin Empire on Chinese civilization politically, culturally, and socially. 2.
