THE PROBm AND RESEARCH DBIOIJ

Statement --of the problem. The purpose of this project was to Prepare a resource unit for use in tb teaching of a unit on China in a world hlstory course at the high school level.

Justification --of the problem. The world hlstory Deacher, In presenting a unit on China, faces the problem of havin& to oover an immense amount of material in a limited period of the. To Insure that this important country is adequately studied in the classroom, a resource unit on it la needed. The resource unit will provide a reservoir from which my be drawn iniomation, material, and suggestions for teaching a unit on China. The reaouroe unit is not a teaching unit. Quillen and Han~pointed out thia difference. They stated:

A reaouroa unit differs from a teaching unit in that: (1) it is mde for teaohers rather than student uaa; (2) 1 used by an topica or for achiev organized

Tms unit was prepared under me aaaumption that a period of two weeks would be alloued for classroom study.

This unit was ale0 prepared under the assumption that tb student has had some background in the study of manta early civilizations and the 's neighbors, auoh as Ruasia and . The period of Chineee history from 1900 to 1961 with a brief background prior to this time hae been covered in thia unit. This period of time was selected becauae of the time limitations and the importance

A? an emphasis upon recent history.

Research design and methodblogy. Tb following are the general objectives or anticipated outcame8 of a two week unit on China in a world hlatory course. 1. An introduction to an understanding and apprsci- ation of Chineas culture. 2. The underatanding of the conflict between Chinese civilization and Western civilization. 3. An aweranass of the signif ioant developments in China's history sinoe 1900 and the way in whioh these derslopmenta hare influenced pmaent day China. 4. he realisation of the important part Red Cum and Nationalist China play in world affairs toda~e TO reaoh the general obJeotives the following plan

h.8 bean carried out in prepari~gthe resowoe The content of the unit was baaed upon a sumey of current high school world history textbooks and their resenta at ion of Chlnese hlatory. Ths resource unit includes a brief statement or china's history from 1900 to 1961. The material for this sumry has been based upon a survey of the literature per- taining to China from 1900 to 1961, This material waa organized under four headings: (1) and geography; (2) The Chinese Republic from 1912 to the death of Sun Yat-sen in 1925; (3) The Chinese Republic from 1925 to 1949; and (4) The Communist Era, Suggested activities and problems that may be se- lected by the teaaher and used by the student to reaoh the ob jeativer hare been drawn up, A list of materials pertaining to the study of China has been compiled and groupad. They include a~~ro~riat@ books, artiolea in periodicals, and audio-viaual aids that may help meet the needs of the students. "'JRVEY OF HIGH SCHOOL WORLD HISTORY TWTBOOKk+ AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Phe 8urveey of current high school world bistopy textbook8 covered eight standard claaaroom textbooks. The purpose of thia portion of the study was to determine the content and presentation of China by different authors. The following hlatory textbooks were uaed in this survey: Becker, Carl, Sidney Painter, and YuShan Han. The Past 1m.that Lives Todap. New York: Sllver ~urdettTm~any, Flaok, C. Em, Our World History.

Tha ~ofl~entof EneSe textbooks showed a tendency of

the ~uDJ~c~matter to be grouped into general topics, such a8 religion* language, ad foreign relations. Areas of arts, crafts. and way of life Were grouped under the headi~gof oulture. Other events, such as Tb Open Door Policy, Ths Boxer ~ebellion,and The Opium War were placed under the

general heading of Chinara foreign relations. There were eight general toplo divisions. All eight textbook8 presented selectione upon the religions of China. China's culture was treated in varying degrees by all eight authors. Four of the eight gave more

emphasis upon art. Five authors presented the family ryatem extensively, two mentioned it and one omitted it. Only three of the eight textbooks presented Chitmca geography and clirmte and its effect upon the countryfa history. This may be a weak point in textbook presentation. All eight textbook8 gave varying emphasis on the following topics: Chinava foreign mlationa; Chinara Revolution; the Republic of China; and Cammuniat China. There is a time span between writing and actual publishing or textbooks. This cauaea the lateat or cumant Matory of China in textbooks to be out of date. It important that the world hl8t0~yteacher realize this and rupplement the textbook or textbooks with ex~rienoesthat perzain the present Theae experiences could include the use current periodical8 8 newspapers, and public an" private printed pamphlets on current events,

The following is a brief 8umrY of the language, mafor religions, family system, and arts and craft8 that make up the culture of China. China has a uniform written language, but the spoken tongue varies conaiderably. The Chinese language is one of the oldeat living languages. Chinese is a piotographic language, not an alphabetical language. Each Chinese character symbolizes a meaning or idea. Chinese is composed of thousands of characters which must be individually memo- rized by anyone who learns to read and write. Divergencies of the spoken Chineae are mainly those or pronunciation and intonation. Following World War I, the wThoueand Charaoter Mas8 Education Movement" attemptad to reduce the large vooabulary or the cl8asical language to a more practical size.' This movement brought education within the reach of the conxnon man. A literary renaiseance and the mraa eduoation movement together stimulated the growth of a large volume of popular literature, whloh expressed social discontent and national aentimant, The literary revolution enabled the Communists to use eifeotive printed prop.~ndae

In 1956 the Chinese Communists choae Latin as the simpleat, met praoticrl way to put the Chinese written language on a phonetio baaia .1 The spiritual life of the ancient Chinese, like that of all other ancient peoples, started with the deification and worship of all the important phenomena of nature. The divine and the human were not clearly differentiated, Th4 dead became deities and were worshiped by their descendants, Ancestor worship was not regulated by a rigid code and con- tained little ethical do-, the ritual being limited to aaorifices made periodically during festivals and on annivsrsarioa of birth and death, Ancestor worship started, in the opinion of some soaiologiats, as an extenaion of rilial piety, but gradually it degenerated into a muper- rtitlous routine based on the belief that such worahlp would 2 bring goodwill and protection from the dead.

The teaahlngs of Confuoius and his followera are embodied in the --Four Books and -Five Classics. Hia teachings promote peace and order in society and encourage the living of a moral life by the individual. Great importance was placed upon rerpect for the family and the restriction of change. 1 Taoism began as a philosophy, but later developed into a religion. As a philosophy it is traceable to Lao Tze, born in 604 BoCe His doetrines of Hthe right wayn and "do nothingn ruled out the idea of forming a religion and establishing himself as a aaint, for this was contrary to his teachings. Yet seven centuries after hla death, Taoiam had degenerated into a ritual embodying a polytheistic mixture of witchcraft and demonology. Taoist priests have their own tomplea, rituals and bible. They are allowed to marry. Some of the priests are anohorites who seek immor- 2 tality through meditation and ascetic practices. Buddhism in Cum, introduced from India in A.D. 65, beula little resemblance to the religion in its pure fom.

its own way of trainiw disciples. Chinese Buddllist scholar8 have gone to Tibet and Ceylon for advanced study.l BY the end of the fifth century the carving of Buddhist statues on

rocks had become so popular and prevalent in China that it influenced the development of Chinese fine arts. 2 The religion of Tibet and Mongolia la Lamaism, which

is a mixture of Buddhlsm and Shamanistic practices. The lama8 have 180 sacred scriptures and numerous tracts of

lesser importance. Lamaism has a paradise, but their chief hope la to be reincarnated in a higher state.

After the death of the Living Buddha, hi8 spirit is said to reappear in the body of some baby boy born at that time. In order to aelect the new Living Buddha a number of candidates, who were born at the time of the Buddhas death, are choaen and are confronted with an array of articles, among which one or two were used by the deceased.

Hany present day Chinese Moslems are the descendants of the Arabian soldiers that settled in China. 2 Christianity ma introduced into China by missionaries from Europe and America. The first missionaries uere the Jesuits who landed in the sixteenth century. Christianity has grown rapidly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with its adherents making up about one per oent of the population. 3 The Chinese Communist doctrine in today

P-0 en Door Policy. In 1899, when China was on the brink of being divided by outside interest, the United States announced the Open Door Policy. The American Secretary of State, John Hay, issued a circular note requesting assuranoe from the various powers that equality of commeroial oppor- tunity would be maintained within their spheres of interest in China. In 1900 Secretary of State bydeclared that American policy also aought to preserve Chinese territorial and adminiatrative entity. The replies from the powers were ambiguous, but the trend toward conversion of the spheres of interest into protectorates was temporarily halted. 3 - he ~oxerRebellion (1900).

old traditionalism of Tzu Hsi was responsible for the paralysis of China, In 1898, between June 11 and September 22, known as the Hundred Days of Reform, Kvang Hau issued reform decrees that were designed to accomplish a complete reorganization of the traditional Chineae a ystem of govern- ment. The reforma provided that: the political power ma to be centralized in the capital; the number and authority of independent provincial official8 was to be reduoed; the civil aervice examination ayatem waa to be thoroughly revised;

Conservative Manchu princes were selected to put the neu government into effect, I with the result that little uas changed. Tzu-Hsi died in 1908 and by 1911 all of China south of the Yangtze was in revolt. The advisory national assembly voted Yuan Shih-ktai, a former imperial official and commander of the northern armies, into the premiership of a responsible novernrnent. 2 I Through popular pressures and skillful manipulation by Yuan, the infant Emperor Pu Yi was forced into abdi- cation. A new regent, in the name of the child emperor, signed decreea which ended the Manchu rule and turned power over to Yuan aa premier. 3

Rtjn vnt-mnn- Thn raal atorv of the Chinese Revolution and the eatabliahing of the Republic revolves around the life and teachings of Sun Yat-sen. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was one of the prominent leadera of the early revolutionary organi- zations against the Mamhu dynasty. He was the son of a -

peasant, born ln l8bb near the Por~ugues~colony of xacao.

Sun Yat-sen Was firat exposed to the weat livingwith hf8 older brother in Honolulu. Dr. Sun Yat-sen comenced hie medical career at Macao after studying medicine in 1 . After the defeat of China in the Sino-Japanese War,

Sun Yat-sen led a revolt at the city of Canton. The up- risiw failed and Sun Yat-sen had to leave the country. In 1896 while visiting in London, Sun Yat-sen was kidnaped by the Chinese Legation with the intention of sending him back to China to be exeouted as an enemy of the Manchu Emperor. The incident was reported in the press and eventually he was released, This affair served to expose the corruptness 2 of the Manchu Government before the Western world. From 1906 to 1911 nine attempts failed to overthrow the Manchu Government. During that time, Sun Pat-sen traveled in Japan, Europe, and Amerioa, seekins financial aid and studying different systems of government.

At that time, 1922, ~d~lf Joffe was sent from Ru88ia to Peking to meet with Sun Yat-sen. Joffe was an experienced Bolshevist diplomat. Sun Yat-sen saw a fair prospect of obtaining the aid he needed from ~ussiaand at the same time the Soviet leader realized a chance to strike a blow at the imperialist powers. 1 The conference between Joffe and Sun Yat-sen ended with a public statement that provided for an agreement be- tween Russia and China. The statement affirmed the belief that neither connunism nor the lovlet political system political system could be successfully introduced into China.

-The Chinese Republic From 1925 to 1949 The following is a brief summary of the major events in China from 1925 to 1949. They include: Chiang Kai-shek becoming leader of the Kuomintang; Japanese occupation of Manchuria; Chiang Kai-shek and the Communists; the Cairo and

Yalta Conferences; and the Hall-outHcivil war in China.

Chiar~g--Kai-shek becam leader of the Kuornintanq. Sun Yat-sen died in Peking in 1925 while attempting the reconciliation of hi8 southern federation and that of tb northern warlords. By a coup in September, 1925, supported by Borodln, Chiang mi-shek became the commander-in-ohief of the Kuomlntang forces.

The ,dical left wing assumed control of the party and In February, 1927, established its headquartera at Hankow. ~eanwhlle,under Chiax bi-shekt a leadership, the Natlon- alist Government was established in Nanking. The positions of leftista in the Wuhan regime, however, became untenable when documents proving Mo8cowl s conspiracy ln China were made public. In Julys 1927, the Kuomintang purged itself of the Communists and sent Borodin and the other Russian I 2 advisers back to Russia. Despite the expulaion of' the Russians and the Com.nuniata, the Kumintang was not united until Chlang Kai-shek consolidated hia position in both the government and the armed forces. In the apring of 1928, the last of the Northern warlorda had been defeated and the Yational Government waa tomaally sstabliahed in Nanking in October, 1928. Chiang Kai-shekts government was not as atrong as

BY a cOmblnatlon of force and a good deal of political compromise Chiang -ahek gradually extended his in- fluence into the domh of the warlords, ~ometimesby the simple device of giving them positions in the govern- ment and incorporating their armiea into his own. While this tYPe of forml unif ication outwardly contributed to the prestige of the Central kvernment, it added little to the real unity and strength of the country. Japanese occupation -of Manchuria. The quaslunlf ica- tion of China under the National Government pronpted Japan to take direct aggressive action. The "Mukden Incidentw on September 18, 1931, marked the first step in Japanese armed aggression and resulted in the capture of the three North- eastern Provinces. The puppet state of Manchukuo was established by the Japanese in Manchuria. Japan also en- gaged in large scale arnuggling and drug traffic to undermine the Chinese economy and morale. 2 The United States iasued the Stimson Doctrine in re-

Earu to the Japaneae aggression in Manchuria. It stated that the United States would not recognize any de fact0 situ- ation unilaterally brought about by force and in violation of international treaty obligations. The Unibd States did not take any direot action against Japan at that time*

Chiarq ----Rat-shek and the Communists. The Communieta were driven underground after the break between the Nation- alists and Communists in 1927.

The Communlsta used guerrila warfare and found I aup9ort from the peasants to whom they promised land and 2 other reforma.

By putting Chiang Kai-shek under arrest, Chang Hsueh-liang and other discontented commandera in the north hoped to force Chiang into a decla- ration of war on Japan and the discontinuation of his civil war againat the Communists. The Communist0 had no part in the aeizure of Chiang, but were called in from Shensi. Zhou En-lai waa sent to explain their position, which favored a under Chiang Kal-shekts leaderahip againat the Japanese and the ending of Chiang'a policy of unity before reaiatance.

Chiang Kai-shek followed a policy of trading 1 spaoe for time During the first tnv Jwars of war the Communist Amy and Nationalis t troops jointly fought Japan. The Comuniet army, renamed Eight Route Army, received aid from the National Government in waging guerrilla warfare behind the Japanese lines. When the war reached a deadlock in 1939, the Co again started to divert their attention to the civil conflict, The Communists continued to manage guerrilla areas to suit themselves, which was contrary to 2 their promise to abollah their soviet-type government. Early in 1941, the united front againat ths Japanese came to an end. The Communist's New Fourth Army had been operating in with a great deal of succesa against the Japanese. Chiang Eai-shek had ordered them to remain north of the Yangtze River. Whether there was a misunderatanding or the order was disobeyed, the armp crossed the river, met a Kuomintang force and fightiw broke out.

The Cairo Conference in 1943 and the Yalta Coder- ence In 1945 directly affeoted China and her intereat in the Far East. Roosevelt, Churchill, and Chiang Kai-shek met at the Cairo Conference. It was decided that China was to remain in the war and agreements were reached with regard to China's position in the postwar world. At the meting the powers also agreed upon peace terms to be adopted in the Far East. They included the following: China would receive the Japanese held territories of Manchuria, Formosa and the Peecadorea Islanda; Korea would become free and independent; Japan would be deprived of her in the Pacific, in- cluding those taken from Germany after World War I, but 2 their diaposal was left undetemined.

had restored centralized Chinese rule over a large part of tb traditional Chinese empire, in- cluding important borderland areas. . . . ~h~yhad destroyed the political and military roots of warlordism and provincial regionalism, which had plagued and weakened every Chinese national government between 1911 and 1949, They had established an effective central government, capable of -king clear-cut decisions and f omnulatlng national policies and possessing both the will and the organizational apparatus to implement its policies. And they had built up a totalitarian party- government-army structure which carried central authority and c way unprecedent Barnett also points out several facts which help to explain the rapid auccess of the Chinese Cowunieta in establlahing their control. By 1949 the maa of Chinese people, exhausted by yeara of war and civil strife, had lost all enthuslaam about the ?Tationalists and were prepared to accept ahoat any rulers who could reestablish peace.
