For example if somehow in the future I decided that I want to start a business and I have a bookkeeper who helps me make sure that my purchases and profits come in and is in where they should be. One day I decide that the place needs a A/C, I go find someone to give me a proposal of how much it would make and then find someone else to help me find out how much more the electricity bill will be each month. Both proposals come back to me and I give them to the bookkeeper for them to look over and tell me if that purchase will be good or if it will only make me go out of business. They come back to me and say no don’t make that purchase, it is way too much and this place will be gone and many people including us will lose our jobs. But I am too stubborn and I make the purchase and can’t afford it making me need to lay people off and basically have the whole business in the dirt. Now many other people are going to have a hard time supporting themselves and their families, all because I didn’t listen to something someone told me because I just thought what I was doing was right.But now with knowing this myth I can remember to think about what I am doing and how it can affect others, I will think about how
Both of Feng-Shan Ho’s kid’s lives were changed because one decision their father made. Manli and Monto both were inspired by the things their father did. Monto went on to have a job similar to his fathers and helping people just like his dad. Manli, on the other hand, decided to find out more things about her father and what he did. A lot of the things we know about Feng-Shan Ho now are mostly findings of Manli (Kim 1). This shows how big a father’s influence can big, every choice they make influences their
The Legalist teachings differed from all other philosophies and they became lost in the past. The Legalists rejected all the Confucians values and really wanted to establish a link between the subject and the ruler. Minister Shang established population registers to record who lived together in different households. He stated, “that they supervise each other and be mutually liable. Anyone who failed to report criminal activity would be chopped in two at the waist, while those who reported it would receive the same reward as that for obtaining the head of an enemy.” (Shang, p 128.) The creation of Minister Shang’s registers showed a break from the past and for the first time ever officials kept detailed records of their subjects.
Do you think Qin Shihuangdi is a Tyrant or a National Hero? Qin Shihuangdi is a Emperor who began to rule ch’in (china) when he was only 3 years old. Qin Shihuangdi was also the first Qin Emperor. Many people believe that Qin Shihuangdi was a Tyrant, others believe that he was a national hero. In my opinion, I believe that Qin Shihuangdi is a Tyrant.
The Qin dynasty was the most abridged dynasty ever in Ancient China but even though that, Emperor Qin is the most paramount man who has lived in Ancient China. You may think he came from a rich family because he was an emperor but think again! Some documents state that he was a son of a lowly merchant family. This text is going to tell you all the significant events that occurred then Emperor Qin was ruling Ancient China. Emperor Qin should be a remembered person for all the impacts he did in Ancient China.
Qin Shi Huang had a large impact on China’s culture. He helped implement canals and roads for easier travel. He started the imperial road system and created fast roads. He was extremely influential in China’s government. Qin declared that the round coins with a square-shaped hole in the center will be the currency of China. He named it the bang liang coin. The first emperor was able to create a measuring
Overall, the Qin and Han were what impacted China the most in terms of great improvements and great disasters near the end of their imperial power. The Qin built this strong foundation of a military to help protect their people and to also conquer any invaders that may try to break their peace. This correlation between military and family is shown much in Lewis’s book, where military is most emphasized when legalism starts to emerge within the Qin Dynasty. And although, legalism was not present much of late China, the idea of having an abundant and strong military was still intact up until the end of their empire, and also soon became their demise. The Han did not count on a rebellion brewing with each small military division they made, nonetheless
Prior to the unification of China, Confucianism was the primary religion worshiped and obeyed. Confucianism provided knowledge that humans were born virtuous and showed human nature in a positive light. Although, during the unification of the Warring States in 221 BC, Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor, established Legalism as the standard religion to be worshipped in China. The Ancient Chinese religious belief of Legalism gave Qin Shi Huangdi a structure on which to base his rule and by which he justified his methods of control and allowed him to grow the empire. Legalism was a religion that contradicted the positive beliefs of Confucianism, and perceived humans negatively, as individuals were assumed to be driven by self-interest. The legalistic
Emperor Qin Shi originally built the great wall of China with the goal of preventing Barbarian nomads from entering China. The effectiveness of the wall varied through time and in the different dynasties.
The center of life in the Shang culture was family and it is not only your immediate family that you have to provide for, but also your extended family. This is true for whatever class you belonged to be it slave, peasant, artisan, elite, warrior, priest, or even the emperor status. One must preform their job well on a daily basics and support the military, which was modeled much like the Aryans in a nomadic warlike fashion.
Few people in history are as influential yet obscure as Admiral Yi Sun-shin. Admiral Yi was born in 1545 and died in battle in 1598. His exemplary performance as an admiral and his loyalty to his country were lauded by both Koreans and Japanese. Even westerners like Admiral George Alexander Ballard have acknowledged the brilliance of admiral Yi. Admiral Yi Sun-shin had a significant impact on East Asian history through his defense of Korean independence, development of revolutionary naval combat tactics, and his legacy sparking Korean nationalism.
During his reign, his generals greatly expanded the size of the Chinese state: campaigns south of Chu permanently added the Yue lands of Hunan and Guangdong to the Chinese cultural orbit; campaigns in Central Asia conquered the Ordos Loop from the nomad Xiongnu, although eventually causing their confederation under Modu Chanyu. Qin Shi Huang also worked with his minister Li Si to enact major economic and politic reforms aimed at the standardization of the diverse practices of the earlier Chinese states.[4] This process also led to the banning and burning of many books and the execution of recalcitrant scholars.[1] His public works projects included the unification of diverse state walls into a single Great Wall of China and a massive new national
Qin was an effective and powerful ruler, but he was also known for his cruelty.

This essay examines the Chinese Civil War between 1945–49, which resulted in the victory of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over Chiang Kai-Shek and the Kuomintang (GMD) and the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. Many historians have attributed the victory of the communists to social, political and economic reasons how this ultimately won them war, however other reasons need to be taken into account when discussing the victory of the communists such as the transformation of its armed forces into a conventional army. With this in mind, however it was arguably the Japanese invasion that best explains to why the communists eventually won the war.
Yue Fei is one of the most talked about Patriots in Chinese History. There are several Muggle television shows and novels written about this famous patriot. He also has many temples dedicated to his honor. He is one of the most venerated but tragic generals in Chinese history. People have recognized this name for the last 800 years. The history of Yue Fei is still celebrated in China today. Over the last 800 years, everyone knew of this famous patriot. Yue Fei did not kill his enemies in the battlefield, nor did he die from horrible war injuries.
