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.
Unification of China and the Han Dynasty
The Warring States period came to an end when the kingdom of Qin (chin) unified China. King Zheng (jung) of Qin, who became the First Emperor, is remembered as a leader determined to build a great empire. Although his dynasty lost power soon after his death, later dynasties built upon his methods for ruling a large empire.
Besides founding China’s first empire, Shi Huangdi also laid the foundation for a system of government to rule a large empire. The next dynasty was the Han. The Han emperors built on the successes of the Qin to create one of the most influential dynasties in Chinese history.
