2 ANCIENT AND CLASSICAL CHINA
3 THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN AND THE DYNASTY CYCLE
4 THE ZHOU DYNASTY: B.C.E. The rise of the Zhou The last Shang king was a bad ruler The Zhou forces toppled the Shang Political organization Adopted decentralized administration Used princes and relatives to rule regions Consequences Weak central government with ceremonial functions Rise of regional powers; often called feudalism Constant rivalry between warring families, nobles
5 THE FALL OF THE ZHOU Iron metallurgy Iron technology spread; 1st millennium B.C.E. Iron weapons were cheaper to produce than bronze Helped regional aristocrats to resist the central power Feudal state of Qin mastered iron technology, weapons Nomadic invasion sacked capital Prior period called Western Zhou Capital moved to Loyang beginning Eastern Zhou Warring States Period ( B.C.E.) Territorial princes became more independent States warred one with another Rise of Sun Tzu as military strategist Rise of Qin state Qin began conquering rivals Created vast army, no one able to stop Qin kings Last Zhou king abdicated his position in 256 B.C.E.
6 FAMILY Central to Chinese culture: kinship Veneration of ancestors Belief in ancestors' presence, continuing influence Burial of material goods with the dead Offering sacrifices at the graves Eldest males presided over rites honoring ancestors Only males could perform religious duties Filial Piety Young must respect elders without question Elders always right, make decisions Patriarchal society During Neolithic times, Chinese society = matrilineal Rise of states, war due to men's contribution s After Shang, not even queens merited temples
7 THE SOCIAL ORDER The ruling elites Royal family and allied noble families at the top Their lavish consumption of bronze products, silk Hereditary aristocrats with extensive landholding Most of the land owned by the king, nobles Peasants, the majority of population Called the mean people Landless peasants provided labor Lived in small subterranean houses Wood, bone, stone tools common Iron spread in 6th century B.C.E. Women s World Wine making, weaving, silkworm raising Managing household, raising children Elite women vs. poor women Imperial Family Peasants Nobles
8 OTHERS Specialized labor Free artisans Artists, musicians Craftsmen in great demand Served the needs of ruling elites Merchants, trade were important Slaves Jade from Central Asia, tin from SE Asia A few pieces of pottery from India Merchants ranked socially lower Mostly war prisoners Performed hard work Became sacrificial victims Slaves Suspicious towards Foreigners Artisans Merchants
9 CHINESE POPULAR RELIGION Customary beliefs and practice As old as civilization in China Never encouraged/discouraged by state Syncretic in nature Will absorb many different traditions Blends all major ideas, philosophies Exists in harmony with official philosophies, faiths Believes gods, spirits (shen) influence family, world Power over world affairs Deceased members of community, family Deified figures of history, literature Spiritual embodiment of nature, geography Maintenance of family shrines, community temples Prayers, supplications Food offerings Shamanism and divination are practiced
10 SECULAR CULTURAL TRADITION No organized religion, priestly class Impersonal heavenly power - tian Males performed few duties Fathers took care of family duties Rulers took care of the public duties Oracle bones Rulers, people question tian for direction Primary instruments of fortune-tellers Discovery of the "dragon bones" in 1890s Bones recorded day-to-day concerns Early Chinese writing Earliest form was the pictograph From pictograph to ideograph Absence of alphabetic or phonetic component More than two thousand characters Modern Chinese writing is direct descendant
11 CONFUCIUS SEARCH FOR ORDER Confucius ( B.C.E.) A strong-willed man, from an aristocratic family Traveled ten years searching for an official post Educator with numerous disciples Sayings compiled in the Analects by disciples Confucian ideas Fundamentally moral and ethical in character Restore political and social order; stress ritual Formation of junzi - "superior individuals" Edited Zhou classics for his disciples to study The key Confucian concepts Ren - a sense of humanity Li - a sense of propriety Xiao - filial piety Cultivating of junzi for bringing order to China 5 Relationships and filial piety as basis of society
12 LEGALISM Legalism The doctrine of statecraft Promoted a practical and ruthlessly efficient approach No concern with ethics and morality No concern with the principles governing nature Doctrine used by Qin dynasty Shang Yang (ca B.C.E.) A chief minister of the Qin state His policies summarized in The Book of Lord Shang Was executed by his political enemies Han Feizi (ca B.C.E.) Student of Xunzi, became the most articulate Legalist A synthesizer of Legalist ideas Forced to suicide by his political enemies
13 LEGALISM IN PRACTICE The state's strength Agriculture Military force Discouraged commerce, education, and the arts How to treat people Harnessing self-interest of people for needs of state Called carrot and stick approach in west Called for harsh penalties even for minor infractions Advocated collective responsibility before law Not popular among the Chinese, Chinese used legalism if state threatened Legalism still doctrine common to China
14 DAOISM Prominent critics of Confucianism Preferred philosophical reflection and introspection Understand natural principles, live in harmony with them Laozi and Zhuangzi Laozi, founder of Daoism; wrote the Daodejing Zhuangzi, Daoist philosopher, wrote Zhuangzi Philosophical Daoism Dao - The way of nature, the way of the cosmos Opposites in balance, complementary An eternal principle governing all workings of the world Passive, yielding, does nothing, accomplishes everything Tailor behavior to passive, yielding nature Ambition, activism brought the world to chaos Popular Daoism A folk or religious form of Daoism; not philosophical Emerged at end of Han Dynasty Seek to master forces of natural, spiritual world Many deities including immortals, which people venerated Symbolized prosperity, happiness Many saints were patrons of certain occupations Gods associated with natural cycles, agriculture Daoist priests were shamans, performed exorcisms
15 UNIFICATION OF CHINA The Qin State and Dynasty Partially sinified pastoralists, perhaps even Turkish Located in west China and adopted Legalist policies Encouraged agriculture, resulted in strong economy Organized a powerful army equipped with iron weapons Conquered other states and unified China in 221 B.C.E. Qin Shi Huang di King of Qin proclaimed himself First Emperor, 221 B.C.E. Established centralized imperial rule Held sons of nobles as hostages Demolished nobles castles Project of connecting and extending the Great Wall 700,000 people worked on project; 100,000 killed
16 QIN STATECRAFT Suppressing the resistance Bitterly opposed, was opposed by Confucian scholars Buried 460 scholars alive because of their criticism against the Qin Burned all books except some with utilitarian value Policies of centralization Standardization of laws, currencies, weights, measures Standardized scripts: tried to create uniform language Creates a uniform writing system but not language Tomb of the First Emperor The tomb was an underground palace Excavation of the tomb since 1974 Terracotta soldiers and army to protect tomb The collapse of the Qin dynasty Massive public works generated ill will among people Waves of rebels overwhelmed the Qin court in 207 B.C.E. A short-lived dynasty, left deep marks in Chinese history
17 THE EARLY HAN DYNASTY Liu Bang A general, persistent man, a methodical planner Restored order, established dynasty, 206 B.C.E. Han was long-lived dynasty Early Han policies Sought middle way between Zhou and Qin Royal relatives were not reliable Returned to centralized rule Martial Emperor ( B.C.E.) Han Wudi ruled for 54 years Pursued centralization and expansion
18 HAN STATECRAFT Han centralization Adopted Legalist policies Built an enormous bureaucracy to rule the empire Continued to build roads and canals Levied taxes on agriculture, trade, and craft industries Imperial monopolies on production of iron and salt Established Confucian educational system for training bureaucrats Confucianism as the basis of the curriculum in imperial university Thirty thousand students enrolled in the university in Later Han Han imperial expansion Invaded and colonized northern Vietnam and Korea Extended China into central Asia Han organized vast armies to invade Xiongnu territory Han enjoyed uncontested hegemony in east and central Asia
19 HAN SOCIAL STRUCTURE Patriarchal, patrilocal households averaged five inhabitants Large, multigenerational compound families also developed Women's subordination (Ban Zhao Admonitions for Women) Cultivators were the majority of the population Differences apparent between noble, lower class women Scholar bureaucrats: Confucian trained bureaucrats Officials selected through competitive testing Used to run the government in Early Han Scholar Gentry Confucian bureaucrats intermarried with landed elite New class comes to dominate local, national offices Strongest in late Han Merchants held in low social esteem
20 COMMERCE, INDUSTRY Iron metallurgy Farming tools, utensils Weapons Silk textiles Sericulture spread all over China during the Han High quality Chinese silk became a prized commodity Traded as far as India, Persia, Mesopotamia, and Rome State monopolies on liquor, salt and iron Paper production Invented probably before 100 C.E. Began to replace silk and bamboo as writing materials Population growth Increased from 20 to 60 million (220 BCE to 9 CE) Despite light taxation, state revenue was large Silk Road established: horses for silk
21 HAN TROUBLES Expeditions consumed the empire's surplus Raised taxes and confiscated land of some wealthy individuals Taxes, land confiscations discouraged investment Much of defense consumed on defending against nomads Social tensions, stratification between the poor and rich Problems of land distribution Early Han supported land redistribution Economic difficulties forced some small landowners to sell property Some sold themselves or their families into slavery Lands accumulated in the hands of a few No land reform, because Han needed cooperation of large landowners The reign of Wang Mang A powerful Han minister dethroned the baby emperor Claimed imperial title himself, 9 C.E. Land reforms - the "socialist emperor Overthrown by revolts 23 C.E
22 LOSS OF THE MANDATE The Later Han Dynasty ( C.E.) Overthrown of Wang Mang restores Han New Han much weakened Rule often through large families, gentry Rise of Eunuchs in government as new source of power The Yellow Turban Uprising (Daoist Revolt) Rulers restored order but did not address problem of landholding Yellow Turban uprising inflicted serious damage on the Han Collapse of the Han Court factions paralyzed central government Han empire dissolved China was divided into regional kingdoms Period of 3 Kingdoms Local aristocrats divided empire Later fragmented further During period nomads invaded, Buddhism entered
