Chinese History The reason I chose Chinese history is because, to understand a culture you must first learn about there past.
Time line of chinese history and dynasties
SUI Dynasty (581-618) Reformed China major civil service reforms victory in taming the Turks of Central Asia fortified the Great Wall rebuilt the capital city of Luoyang completed Grand Canal, the longest man-made river in the world.  
TANG (618-907) The second emperor, Li Shimin, an exceptionally talented statesman and military strategist, started his reins in 627 and made Tang probably the most glorious dynasty in Chinese history.  Empire greatly expanded period of excellence in sculpture, painting and poetry influence by Central Asia in dance and music.  Japan copied much of Tang culture and institutions, and adopted Chinese characters as her form of written language.  The capital city of Chang'an was a cosmopolitan city of wealth and splendor unparallel in the world.  
Song Dynasty (960-1279) Enjoyed calm and growth between 960 and 997 a new class of wealthy common people emerged printing (movable type) invented.  Zhu Xi synthesized Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into a new ideology.  In the next 200 years Song was beleaguered by invasions from three formidable ethnic minority kingdoms: Liao of the Khitan, Xia of the Tibtan/Tangut, and Jin of the JurchenTartarss tribes.  Mongols first annexed northern China, and in 1279  exterminated Song.
Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) Genghis Khan (1162-1227), the Mongol conqueror, united the Mongol tribes, annexed northern China, central Asia, Iran, southern Russia, eastern Europe and created the largest empire in history.  In 1279 Kublai Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, exterminated Song and established the Yuan dynasty with its capital in Beijing. This is the first alien regime to rule China. 
Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) Mongols were driven out by native Chinese Beijing flourished as new capital With hindsight we can see that the Ming dynasty, whose emperors had ruled China since 1368, was past its political peak by the early seventeenth century China’s cultural life was in an ebullient condition that few, if any, other countries could match.  
Republic of China (1911-1949) Intense efforts by diverse elite groups to refashion China into a modern state chaos and wars among local warlords and political factions bitter strife between the Nationalists and Communists Japan invaded China with unprecedented brutality Defeated by the U.S., Japan surrendered in 1945, and struggle between the Nationalists and Communists restarted.  Defeated by the Communists in 1949, the Nationalists evacuated to the island of Taiwan and has since developed Taiwan into one of the most prosperous economies in Asia.  
Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) Ming conquered by nomads from Manchuria China once again under non-Chinese rule culture flourished, but conservatism eventually led to the dynasty's demise Russia and Japan defeated China to impose their requests for trade and other advantages nationalistic revolutionaries led by Sun Yatsen overthrew Qing in 1911 and ended the last dynasty of China.
ZHOU Dynasty (1122-221) Developed iron tools Highly advanced society Wealthy Had written laws.  Confucius lived approximately 551-479 BC.  About 300 years after his death, Confucius' teachings were made the dominant creed of the Han dynasty, and have since influenced the thought and behavior of the people in China, Japan and other parts of Asia.  Among his teachings: "Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire."
HAN Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.) Art, literature, philosophy, music and statecraft flourished in the golden age of Han.  Paper first mentioned in 105 A.D.  Confucius' teachings were made the dominant creed and cornerstone of Chinese thought.  Buddhism from India was introduced to China. The Roman Empire was found during the Han dynasty, and came to an end before Tang.
