China:Its History and Culture 1-71

In this first section of the history of China, there are many things that have been said, such as the land: its geography and people. The religion and culture, what they believed in and what do they do for certain things, or certain days of the year, and even how and when they celebrate a new year. Starting from the beginning, the history of  China starts with its first dynasty: The Zhou Dynasty, from 1027 - 221 B.C. There were many things that came from the Zhou Dynasty, such as religion, where they worshiped their ancestors and the spirits of Nature. From the Zhou dynasty came other events in China, such as unification and expansion, which leads into the next two dynasties, the Qin and Han dynasties.

"To the average westerner, China has always been, ever since Marco Polo, a mysterious and fascinating country."
After reading this quote I felt the same way as any westerner because I always believed that China was amazing after obtaining many toys as a child that were "made in China". At the same time I thought "What can't China do?" It made me wonder and anxious to find out.
