| Hello Buddy. Welcome to my notes page.
Have you ever thought how it is, that the very large and
complex country of China can put smiles on the faces of
children, all over this spinning Planet on which you
humans live?. Well, the humans that live in China make the country one of Earths largest manufacturers of toys and wherever you may be, you have probably played with, or seen, a toy made here at some time or other. China is a very interesting place to visit throughout your human History, as a Penguin Person. The first written words by the human race were formed here and it was the birth place of Wisdom and Philosophy long before these human thoughts spread to the rest of the Planet. Many Human Tribes with their own particular Religions, beliefs and areas, now live peacefully in the China area today and form a hugely complex framework, of a single, difficult to manage country, that is gradually, giving its people an enriched and potentially prosperous future, through peaceful co-operation with the other diverse countries that make up this human Planet that revolves in endless Space and Time. So? Did you Know? There is an old saying that goes in your human Philosophy (original thoughts that were born from this region), that, 'The pen is mightier that the sword!'. Mh?. A little difficult to consider if someone is chasing you with a long sharp sword and all you have is a small pen. You could write them a note of friendship and throw it behind you?. Err?. No. perhaps not?. But then, the humble `pen` has signed agreements that have ended silly Wars and has created documents that have given birth to many various peaceful Religions or beliefs worldwide, that have joined people in peace and friendship through many different forms. So maybe Writing with a pen can be considered more `mightier` for the human race than raising a sword (or weapon) in anger. That is a piece of Philosophy for all the human race to decide and looking back at histories conflicts, perhaps the only best way to the future. Please enjoy my notes page of the past History of the China area and the Emperors Dynasty Chronology. |
The red backdrop used for the flag is also the traditional colour representing both China and the Communist party.

MY HISTORY NOTES (PAGE ONE) 1523-1030 B.C. During this period of China’s first powerful Emperor (who as a single person now became overall leader of the separate tribes, creating the Shang Dynasty) metalwork and Bronze casting were perfected, along with the introduction of writing forms and the China calendar. 1030-221 B.C. The Zhou
tribes in the Western area of China eventually overthrew
the Shang Dynasty and set up their own, developing laws
in written form and money to exchange goods for trade. 221-206 B.C. The Qin Dynasty again united China, defeating all rival would be kings. This period saw the majority of The Great Wall of China being built by Emperor Shi Huangdi and formation of a central government structure. The Han Dynasty’s
expanded the Empire and developed a more complex internal
structure of Government. Around this period Buddhism (from
India) and Taoism became the main influences along with
the thoughts and writing of Confucius. Trade, by the
means of overland links were formed with Europe. A.D. 581-618 The Sui Dynasty then united China against a Tatar invasion that had threatened all the states. A.D. 618-907 The following Tang Dynasty saw a huge rise in poetry, printing matter and artistic objects. Then it suffered popular rebellion and internal conflict that again split and unified China, this time into ten kingdoms and five separate Dynasty’s. The song Dynasty’s eventually pacified most of China, restoring civil order and calm in much of the country. But Mongol leader Genghis Khan took advantage of this fragile, almost unified and very weak China and by 1210 had conquered a huge part of the country, establishing his own Mongol Empire. Mongol leader Kublai
Khan was the founder of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and
began trade with European Nations (Marco Polo, first
white European to enter China from Venice visited at this
time). The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) re-united China and produced very fine porcelain products, exporting them to Europe. Beijing became the Capitol city. Manchuria invaded China creating their own Dynasty (Qing). The Manchurian Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) expanded the Empire of China. But eventually, through a popular rebellion, war with Japan and a series of events initiated by complex internal and external influences, this Dynasty saw the eventual Opium Wars and occupation of Hong Kong by Britain (1839-42) all of which, in turn, led to the anti western powers Boxer Rebellion (1900). In a troubled land, Sun Yat Sen (of The National Peoples Party) led a popular revolution (1911-1912) and overthrew the very last Emperor (Henri Pu Yi) who was only a child and established the Republic of China. General Yuan Shih Kai then became dictator of China. On this dictators death, over-all control of China again fragmented, leading to internal Civil War and conflict. In 1921 the communist party of China was founded and became an alternative to the National party. After an invasion by Japan (1932) and the eventual end of the second World War, Communist leader Chairman Mao Zedong became leader of the new People's Republic of China (1949), while the National party remained in control of the small island of Taiwan. |
