China
This document provides an overview of ancient Chinese civilization, including its geography, earliest dynasties, and cultural developments. It describes how China's isolation due to natural barriers like deserts and mountains allowed civilization to develop independently. The earliest dynasties, like the Xia and Shang, established many cultural traditions still present today, such as respect for ancestors and a unified writing system. The Zhou dynasty expanded on these foundations and established the concept of "Mandate of Heaven" to justify changes in ruling dynasties.
Geography Of Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia's unique geography shaped its culture. Located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, it had a warm climate, fertile soil deposited by seasonal floods, and access to water, allowing civilization to emerge. Though it lacked other resources, Mesopotamians developed irrigation systems and centralized governments to cope, trading surplus crops. Their adaptations to geographic constraints laid the foundations for modern advances in overcoming resource scarcity.

During the period from 477 to 431 BC, Athens experienced a cultural and intellectual golden age under the leadership of Pericles. Pericles strengthened Athenian democracy and used the wealth of the Athenian Empire to fund magnificent architecture projects, such as the Parthenon. However, the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 BC weakened Athens and ended the Golden Age. After the war, Athenian philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle sought philosophical truths through logic and reason.

The document provides an overview of the geography of South Asia:
- South Asia, also known as the Indian Subcontinent, is bounded by mountain ranges like the Himalayas to the north and water bodies like the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.
- Major river systems like the Indus and Ganges played a key role in the development of civilization in South Asia, flowing from the Himalayas across large areas before draining into bodies of water.
- The first civilization in South Asia arose along the Indus river valley in what is now Pakistan, as the geography isolated the region but river systems supported growth.

The Qin Dynasty first unified China under one government and standardized the written script, while the Han Dynasty built upon this foundation and further developed agriculture, trade, and cultural artifacts along the Great Wall. However, both dynasties faced rebellions due to their harsh policies of high taxes and forced labor used in construction projects. Additional primary sources like diaries or letters from ordinary citizens could provide insight into how these policies impacted daily life and shaped cultural attitudes.
Geography Of China
1. China's geography isolated it from other regions due to mountains, deserts, and oceans. This led to an ethnocentric culture that saw China as the "Middle Kingdom".
2. Most of China's population is concentrated along coastlines and river valleys, as only 11% of land is arable. Farming practices include subsistence and terrace farming.
3. Major rivers like the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Xi River supported early civilizations and trade, but the Yellow River is known as "China's Sorrow" due to destructive flooding.

Yellow river valley
The early Chinese civilization flourished along the Yellow River valley around 5000 years ago. Natural barriers isolated China, fostering a strong sense of national identity. The first dynasty was the Xia, established by Yu who implemented flood control projects. The subsequent Shang dynasty gained control of the region through organized bureaucracy and military might. They developed advanced agriculture, handicrafts like silk, and the first form of writing in China. Despite social stratification, family and respect for elders were core values. The Shang fell when nomadic groups like the Zhou allied and overthrew the corrupt rulers.

Early dynasties like the Shang and Zhou established social hierarchies and developed writing. The Qin dynasty unified China and built infrastructure like the Great Wall. Subsequent dynasties like the Han expanded the empire and implemented civil service exams. The Tang and Song dynasties represented a cultural golden age with advances in technology, art, and education. China's empires were later conquered by Mongol invaders.
Korean culture
Korean culture has a long history dating back over 4,000 years, shaped by major invasions and wars over the past 2,000 years. Religions like Shamanism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism have historically influenced Koreans, and traditional clothing, music, and cuisine remain important parts of Korean culture today.

The first Korean state was founded by either the legendary ruler Tan'gun or Chinese Shang Dynasty descendants. Early Korea was ruled by tribes until the Han Empire conquered most of the Korean peninsula in 108 BC. The three rival tribes of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo eventually unified under Silla. In 935, Wang Kon gained control and established the Goryeo dynasty, named for Goguryeo. The Goryeo adopted Chinese Confucian and bureaucratic systems and produced beautiful celadon pottery during over 60 years of Buddhist art creation, until the Mongol invasions required heavy tribute payments.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
