Ancient China developed in isolation due to its geography. The Xia Dynasty was the first to rule in 2200 BC, followed by the Shang Dynasty in the 1500s BC which established a monarchy. The Shang developed innovations like the first writing system with over 2000 symbols, oracle bones for divination, and bronze metallurgy. The Zhou overthrew the Shang in the 1100s BC based on the Mandate of Heaven, establishing a feudal system where the king granted lands to lords in exchange for loyalty and military support.

A brief history of the Chinese Dynasties. It was done on a short notice. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to correct any mistakes I made or comment. if you wish.
The Qin Dynasty which emerged victorious over the 6 other major Kingdoms during “The Warring States” period in China was the first empire that unified what is now roughly modern China. More importantly, it standardized much of the concepts that affected daily life for its citizens, such as money, written language, roads, weights, and measures, and created the basis for the future Chinese role of emperors and the organization of the political structure that continued in its basic form until 1911. It also is credited with some of the greatest public works projects in human history such as the beginning of the Great Wall of China, canal building and irrigation projects, mass production techniques, the Terracotta Warriors of Xian, and a massive mausoleum project for the emperor’s body after death.

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
3. China’s geography played an important role in its development. China is about the same size as the United States. There are several physical barriers that separates China from its neighbors
4. Over much of China’s north is a vast desert called the Gobi Desert. To the west is a large area of mountains.
5. The Himalayas are a very large mountain range that extends over much of southwestern China. Ancient China was isolated from the rest of the world.
6. To the east there are low lying plains that make up a very fertile region for farming.
7. Two great rivers flow from west to east. The Huang He and the Chang Jiang. Like other rivers, they would often flood leaving fertile silt on the land.
16. China’s first writing system. It contained over 2000 symbols to represent ideas and words.
17. Oracle Bones Priests would carve writing on animal bones or turtle shells asking the gods about the future.
18. The bones would then be heated and cooled resulting in cracks. The priest would read the cracks and ‘predict’ the future and then would advise the king.
19. The Shang also began to work in bronze. Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin. The artisans ( craftworkers ) would make beautiful bronze containers for cooking and religious ceremonies.
20. They also made axes, knives, and ornaments from a stone called jade.
21. The Shang also used bronze body armor , powerful bows and war chariots in their armies.
25. In the 1100s BC the Zhou came into power. They believed they had the Mandate of Tien or Heaven to rule. According to this rule, the supreme god supported good rulers of the Zhou.
26. This Mandate of Heaven would only support good kings. If a king was found to be bad, then Heaven would support another leader. Using this philosophy they rebelled against the Shang.
28. The Zhou introduced a new system of government called feudalism . The king would grant land to war leaders called lords, and in return they would have to give their loyalty to the king and provide military support. The lords would grant land to farmers, and in return they would have to work some of the land for the lords and serve in their armies.
