It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Linzhao (in the eastern part of today's Gansu Province) in the west to Liaodong (in today's Jilin Province) in the east. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.From the Qin Dynasty onwards, Xiongnu, an ancient tribe that lived in North China, frequently harassed the northern border of the country. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu (Han Wu Di), sent three expeditions to fight against the Xiongnu in 127 BC, 121 BC and 119 BC. The Xiongnu were driven into the far north of the Gobi.

Throughout history, China has been quite the ingenious and creative civilization and has often been well ahead of it's time. In fact, today's advanced world is not just a product of inventions from the west, but of those from the east as well.

In early America, gender roles and relations were drastically different than they are in today’s society. Women becoming more independent and equal to men is common nowadays. In the past women were seen as the caregivers who stayed home, cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband was seen as the breadwinner and provider. Although, in some instances we can see women and men throughout history challenge these typical gender roles and cause a ripple effect for future generations. Religions also plays a big part in gender roles within marriage. The time period greatly affects the structure of a marriage and the different roles

China has expanded basic education for their people by quadrupling its output for college graduates, however by doing this it has created a system that discriminates against its less wealthy and well-connected citizens, preventing social mobility at every step with bureaucratic and financial barriers. One of the main problems is that there’s a huge gap in educational opportunities between students from rural areas and from the cities. Students in rural areas are known as “left-behind children”, and their grandparents take care of them while their parents are working in faraway cities. It’s good to attend urban schools because they are equipped with with state-of-the-art facilities

Internal problems leading to the Collapse of the Manchu DynastyNo single reason can be attributed to the collapse of the Manchu dynasty. However one may be forgiven for thinking that Empress Cixi was a key contributor and was the master of her own doom. What is certain is that the collapse was fuelled by Western Intervention, and compounded by internal dilemmas which in turn weakened the dynasty and left them unable to adapt leading to their inevitable demise.There were many internal problems in China leading up to and after the Boxer Rebellion in 1899.

As the film industry grows more interconnected, China has become one of the most influential factors in a Hollywood production as the country helps the film medium remain relevant in today’s culture and generate box office revenue. Said phenomenon is most prevalent in Sino-American film co-productions which can be traced to Sony Pictures Classics and Columbia Asia’s The Road Home in 1999 (Peng, 2017).

In nature the two forces of Yin and Yang existed in a delicate state of balance. The Chinese believed that the disruption of this balance by humans caused natural disasters like floods (Cotterell, A., 1994, pg.38).In Imperial China, religious beliefs were divided into the three ways of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.
