China

China The history of China can be seen a more documented and remembered than may other civilisations. The country was ruled by dynasties form at least 1766 BC to the modern twentieth century. The definition of a dynasty is a ruling family that then passes the power down through the generations of the family. These rules with differing levels of success, some dynasties lasted over eight hundred years whist some did not even last twenty (Anonymous, 2000). The structure of the Chinese society was based on the foundations family life. These ideas have been reflected in the basic societal structures of imperial China since the first Emperor. The power of the dynasties came from the belief of the people that the dynasties had a mandate from heaven, that they had been chooses by their ancestors as leaders, father of the nation. From Rebellion was justified as if the leader was weak they would believe that he had lost the mandate of heaven. Throughout all the dynasties, China has been both united and divided. However one notable exception throughout all this, is the constant growth of knowledge, discoveries to Chinese medicine, social and economic developments.
