Zheng He DBQ Documents

More than 60 years before the voyages of Christopher Columbus, a Chinese admiral by the name of Zheng He ("jeng-heh") sailed the western seas from China to the east coast of Africa and other points in the Indian Ocean. The size of his treasure ships and the number of boats in his fleet were breathtaking. The distances he sailed were greater than any recorded before that time. Despite this, the voyages of Zheng He were barely known to the world until recent years. This DBQ asks if he deserves better.

Throughout its history, China has had to protect its borders from invaders, often tribal nomads. A nomad is a person who moves from place to place at different times of the year. These nomads sometimes raided Chinese cities or even formed armies to invade China. In the 1200s, one of these peoples, the Mongols, conquered China and many other lands.

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.

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.
