It was built so they could trade easier, and get around better and more efficiently. It reached nearly 100 miles to the east, and a 1,400-mile grand canal connecting the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. The Sui also developed granaries, a storehouse for threshed grain.They built the granaries near the capitals and were made to supply the Sui people with a cheap and stable supply of food. The Sui helped in the development of the Great Wall of China, which was very important to the people of China because the great wall provided them with protection from invaders.For these reasons I would agree that “Although of short duration, the Sui dynasty was one of China’s mostsignificant.”

China’s rulers utilized the mandate of heaven, a type of divine rule that, later, would be used to justify the rule of kings like Louis XIV of France and Charles the I of England. The mandate of heaven was an ideal that the gods they worshipped gave power to their rulers, and if they weren’t satisfied, they would show it in the form of unexplainable phenomenon, such as the grasshopper plagues and floods that ravaged their lands. Catastrophes like that lead the people of Han China into doubting the rulers, and some even predicted that the Han dynasty would be usurped soon. A number of rebellions cropped up around this time, like the Yellow Turban/Scarves Rebellion, which began to threaten the hold of the government and the rulers

Chinese strength was developed from these voyages as they were able to return with unknown items and new information. These voyages were also able to bring back great profits to China.

Throughout China’s long history, there have been eleven imperial dynasties that all affected China and the rest of the world in some way. However, one dynasty in particular had the most impact on both China and the world as a whole: the Song Dynasty. Part of China’s Golden Age, the Song Dynasty lasted nearly 320 years from 960-1279. The Song Dynasty helped unify China as it brought together the small states that came from the collapse of the preceding Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, China saw great technological advancement that also benefitted the entire world.
The Han Dynasty was a significant time period of great technological, as well as cultural advancements in ancient China, from 206 BCE to AD 220. During this time, the Han Dynasty made significant achievements in technology. The Han Dynasty’s technological advances were numerous and diverse, contributing to its economic prosperity and cultural influence. The Han Dynasty was a society that prioritized and achieved significant technological advances, such as the development of cooking utensils, mirrors, tomb furniture, architecture, pottery, and more, which contributed to its economic and cultural success.
China, up until the Qin Dynasty, consisted of independent states controlled by kings fighting each other for land and power. This time period was called The Era of Warring States, which lasted two hundred years. After this time, the Qin Dynasty rose to power. They conquered all other dynasties, and established a centralized government, unifying China for the first time. The dynasty that succeeded the Qin, the Han, continued the centralized government and they started a westward expansion that would encourage trade and cultural diffusion.

However, before he unified China, he faced a challenge while becoming king of the state of Qin. When he finally came of age and was able to become king, he faced a coup from his father’s chancellor and his mother as well as others (“Shi Huangdi Becomes Emperor”). If he had not been able to overcome this challenge, the whole history of China could have turned out completely differently. Of course, once he became king, he faced the challenge of actually unifying the six endlessly warring states. With Li Si as his adviser, Qin was able to conquer the other kingdoms between 230 B.C. and 221 B.C. and was able to unify China into one country, becoming the first emperor (“Qin Shi Huang-Di”).
