Ancient & Medieval China Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Chinese Belief Systems
Isolated by its geography, ancient China had a unique culture. Two important belief systems, Confucianism and Taoism, developed during the Zhou. Each is a philosophy, that is, a set of beliefs about the world and how to live. These philosophies influenced all aspects of society. Religious practices, such as the worship of certain gods, became connected to these philosophies. Today, Taoist and Confucian temples are found across China. Before these philosophies appeared, the Chinese followed ancient spiritual traditions.
