China:Its History and Culture 71-142

In the second section of this historical book of China, more and more things occur in China such as outsiders coming into China, Generals leading armies, and even more dynasties. As China begins to expand, and as more and more dynasties appear, civilization in China grows larger and larger. In this section, six more dynasties are introduced as China breaks out of isolation from the rest of the world and joins them into modernization. As civilization increases, the Sui and Tang dynasties are established. When China enters the Modern times with the rest of the world, the Song dynasty, the Jin dynasty, in North China, and the Southern Song dynasty, in Southern China are created. Although, their Modernization is interrupted by Mongolians, leading int o the Yuan dynasty. Long after the Mongolian rule, China regained power, and two more dynasties appeared, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"The Japanese, Koreans, peoples of Central and Southeast Asia, and elsewhere were om their turn receiving cultural influences from the brilliant Tang Court and incorporating them in their own lifestyles;"

After reading this quote, I thought that it was amazing how the rest of Asia was influenced by China in this time period, and began to wonder again, what can't China do. Once I found out that China was a large influence in China, I began to think that it would be a large influence to the world.
