2. WHAT IS A DYNASTY ?
• The word dynasty means, quite simply, a
succession of rulers from the same family.
Beginning with the Bronze Age Shang
dynasty, historical eras in China have borne
the name of the family or clan that
dominated during that period. Some
dynasties, such as the Chou and the Ming,
lasted for centuries.

During the Shang Dynasty the Chinese domesticated the

China, creating the first dynasty ruled

5. ZHOU VS. HAN
The Zhou Dynasty, which existed around
1046 to 256 BCE, was the second Chinese
dynasty and one of the most influential eras
in Chinese history, that followed the Shang
Dynasty, the first Chinese dynasty. ... The
Zhou emperors promoted the concept of the
Mandate of Heaven, the divine and morally
sustained right to rule.
The achievements of the Han dynasty (206 BCE
- 220 CE), often regarded by scholars and the
ancient Chinese themselves as the golden era of
Chinese culture, would have lasting effects on
all who followed, particularly in the areas of
government, law, philosophy, history, and art.
The thirst for new knowledge, ambitious
experimentation, and unstinting intellectual
enquiry are hallmarks of Han culture, and they
helped, amongst other achievements, to develop
the Silk Road trade network, invent new
materials such as paper and glazed pottery,
formulate history writing, and greatly improve
agricultural tools, techniques, and yields.
