Advantages And Negatives Of The Mongol Dynasty

The Mongols were constantly conquering new lands of insanely large sizes. They acquired land masses as big as 4,860,000 square miles all around. (document one) They were like terrorists to another persons home and another mans land with their crude actions and constant killing. Genghis Kahn alone conquered the largest amount of land, in fact being 4,860,000 square miles. Thats bigger than the body of the United States alone, and there’s no way that this man acquired all this land just by marching in and asking if he could take over. He just took over with the complex army he’d formed. Their army was just as hardcore and serious as they were. The faults of one man could result in the death of ten. The act of ten men could result in the death of 100

Genghis Khan, created and united the Mongols, who were the world’s biggest empire to date. He conquered china and created the Yuan economic policies and accommodated traditional Chinese practices. Yuan rulers did not try to convert China into the Mongol-style nomadic economy; instead, they advanced agriculture. They restored the she, rural organizations composed of about 50 families, to assist in farming. These organizations also improved flood control, established charity organizations for orphans and widows, and introduced such new crops. In addition, early Yuan emperors sought to protect the peasants by devising a regular, fixed system of taxation. Unlike previous Chinese dynasties, the Yuan rulers cultivated trade and held merchants a high social status.

The Ming Dynasty ruled China from 1368 to 1644 (Morris). The Ming Dynasty was established by King Zhu Yuanshang, who named the dynasty not after Nohis family but the word ming which can mean “bright” or “luminous” (“The Chinese Ming”). It had a population around eighty-five million making it the largest civilization on Earth. As Professor Clunas points out in the exhibition’s exemplary catalog, everything about it was on a grand scale: “It had a greater land area, bigger cities (and more big cities), bigger armies, bigger ships, bigger palaces, bigger bells, more literate people, more religious professionals.” (Morris). Not only was the Ming Dynasty bigger, it brought many major advances in art, technology, and philosophy during its time.

The following are the Chinese dynasties in order from oldest to most recent: Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. The legendary dynasty is the Xia, which is believed to be around 2000 BC. The Shang (1700-1000BC) developed the first written Chinese language. The Zhou (1028-221BC) built the first roads, expanded trade contacts and trade routes, and also developed plows and irrigation systems. Trade at this time was expanding in China. The Qin Dynasty (221-207BC) built the famous Great Wall of China as a defense mechanism and also united all of China under one central government. Next is the Han Dynasty (207BC-AD220), which did a lot for China in terms of trading. They developed the Great Silk Road, a trading route that stretched from China all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. The Sui Dynasty (589-618) united almost all of China. Followed in suit by the Tang Dynasty (618-917) discovered one of Chinas' leading exports, porcelain. During the Tang Dynasty, the first block-style printing press was invented. The Song Dynasty (960-1279) came next, which took over all of China and later took the southern rule after being conquered by the Jin. The Song Dynasty is responsible for developing Chinese cuisine as we know it today. During this time period the compass and gunpowder were also discovered. The Jin Dynasty (1127-1234) took rule over Northern China from the Song. The Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) brought a long period of peace to

During the 13th-14th century the Mongols conquered a vast amount of land through their advanced military strategies and ruthless spirit in battle, causing their empire to immensely expand. Two regions in which the Mongols conquered were China and Russia, while both territories were under Mongol control the regions were ruled differently. Thus, the influence of the political impact Mongol rule had on the Chinese was intensely more significant in contrast to the effect on the Russians, while on the contrary there economical effects for quite similar.

China during the Song Dynasty (A.D 960-1279) managed to obtain a high level of urbanization and seizable military forces, and create advantageous

During the Song Dynasty China was the most successful because it made life easier for China.

The Han Dynasty is the largest dynasty since the Zhou Dynasty, although this is not the dynasty for wars like the Zhou was. The year is one hundred and the Dynasty we are living in has learned much from the dynasties before it and used them to shape our civilization today. In the Han Dynasty we use our language, beliefs, and government all together for a successful system to live in. These three things are crucial to our individual lives and why China will retain power for many more dynasties. Another key to our success is the administrated structure we use. The dynasty before us (Qin Dynasty) divided our nation into many parts that were ruled by royal officials. We use this system too, however, we adopted the ideology from Confucius that emphasized

Muslim control faced great destruction as the Mongols fought to claim them. Under the rule of Kublai Khan, China achieved many things. The Grand Canal was completed, an observatory was built, trade increased, and China became known everywhere for its wealth and greatness. Not everyone living during the time of Kublai Khan, however, agreed that his rule was beneficial, or helpful, to the Chinese people. Some believed the Chinese suffered under the rule of the Mongol leader.

Following the Song dynasty was the Yuan (“you-ahn”) dynasty. The Yuan dynasty lasted from 1279 A.D. until 1368 A.D. “Genghis Khan (1162–1227) and his sons set the foundation for the Yuan Dynasty by defeating the Western Xia and conquering Central Asia, Mongolia, and the Hexi Corridor. This gave them a base of manpower, horses, technology, and experience to finish the conquest of the fierce Jin army and then to go on and conquer the Dali Empire and the Song Empire.”

The Tang army was so powerful, mainly because it has learnt how to fight like the Steppe Nomads in many different ways. The Tang was crazy about horses, which has been relatively rare in China previously. They imported and bred many different breeds of horses negating the main advantages to the nomads on their north.

Chinese Dynasties: 1. Shang: Also called Yin, dynasty that was China's earliest historically verifiable state 1766 B.C. to 1122 B.C. A. Reason's for Rise: Unlike the early accounts of history by the Chinese, there is archaeological evidence of the Shang, who built their cities in northern China around the eastern parts of the Yellow River. For this reason they are called the Yellow River civilization. They were a bronze age people; bronze-working seems to have entered China around 2000 BC (about one thousand years after its invention in Mesopotamia). B. Territorial Location & size at height of power (map): The Shang ruled the area from the North China Plain northward into present-day Shantung Province and westward to the tip of Honan

Stay away from the Yuan dynasty. During the Yuan dynasty, the Chinese people were ruled by the Mongols. The Chinese were treated terribly during the 90 year period, and the Mongol conquerors placed themselves at the top of the societal hierarchy. (Mah) Your experience in the Yuan dynasty would largely depend on whether you were a Mongol, foreigner, or Chinese person. This essay will cover the hardships of the entire Yuan dynasty, approximately 1271 -1368.

I think that the Song Dynasty was the best dynasty because they had invented so many things like, gun powder, fireworks, movable, and more. They had the best leader and his name was Zhao Kuangyin, who didn’t give up and he was really friendly.The people of the Song Dynasty put out fireworks to scare away the mongols. My leader defeated all the other dynasties and he ruled all of China. My dynasty lasted about 300 years and that’s a lot.

I believe that the Yuan dynasty was a successful but flawed dynasty and its legacy still lives on today. This paragraph is about the failures and accomplishments. First off the Yuan Dynasty had great emperors and government because they centralized the government to ensure stability and they built a strong economy. One of the reasons the government succeeded was that the Khans centered leadership around themselves and the Mongols, while still including Chinese leadership. Kublai Khan made the government in one place to make it easier for citizens to get things done, expanded the use of paper money, and maintained the traditional monopolies on salt and iron.
