About China
It is not confirmed as to when people first arrived in China but there is evidence to suggest that the first peoples were here as early as six thousand years ago. Archeological digs in the Banpo area (Xi an) show an agricultural based community at that time. This was to create the basis for the first period of China, or, the Xia Dynasty (2200-1700BC).
The following period, or, the Shang Dynasty (1700-1100BC) was marked by the introduction of bronze working and was also the period in which the first Chinese characters can be found. These characters are found on bones and shells dating back to that time.
The Zhou Dynasty is divided into two periods, Western Zhou (1100-771BC) and Eastern Zhou (770-221BC). This is due to the moving of the capital city from somewhere near Xi'an to somewhere closer to Luoyang (771BC). This is the troubled period that pushed forward the first of Chinas most revered philosophers and spawned possibly the most famous of all Chinese; Confucius (Kongzi). Confucian theory became widespread through China after Confucius's death and is still in practice in modern day China.
The Qin Dynasty (221-207BC) lasted only 14 years but is a period well remembered by scholars and commoners alike. Emperor Qin Shihuangdi came out on top at the end of a troubled time at the end of the Zhou dynasty known as the Warring States Period. It is no doubt that he arrived on top because of his ruthless ambition, an ambition that would mark his reign. This period though short, saw the beginnings of the great wall, military campaigns reaching north to Korea, and as far south as Vietnam. His ruthlessness had a few drawbacks of course; one being paranoia. Huangdi built a network of 270 palaces, linked by tunnels, and was so afraid of assassination that he slept in a different palace each night.
