The Chinese claim a history of 5000 years.The first dynasty,the Xia,is yet to be archaeologically verified but is accepted as lasting from 2200 to 1700 BC,and is described in legends as having been preceded by a succession of god-like sovereigns who bestowed the gifts of life,hunting and agricultural knowledge.The existence of ensuing dynasties is similarly hazy,but clarity increases with each era,revealing agricultural societies who practised ancestor worship.
The Zhou period (1100-221 BC) saw the emergence of Confucianism and the establishment of the 'mandate of heaven' whereby the right to rule was given to the just and denied to the evil and corrupt,leading to the later Taoist view that heaven's disapproval was expressed through natural disasters such as earthquakes,floods and insect plagues.
The Chinese were united for the first time during the Qin dynasty (221-207 BC).The dynasty standardised the writing system and completed construction of the Great Wall.The ensuing Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) featured much military conflict and the creation of the Three Kingdoms.Curiously,these war-torn centuries also saw the flowering of Buddhism and the arts.中美文化差异
