History of China

China's History
China was one of the earliest centers of human civilization, and became a large united country with an advanced culture at a very early stage, outpacing most of the world in areas such as art and science.
Since around 1000 BC China consisted of many small kingdoms. All of these were unified under one emperor
in 221 BC by the Qin state, ushering in the Qin Dynasty. Over the course of centuries, China underwent periods of unity and disunity, order and disorder.
In the 18th century, China achieved a decisive technological advantage over the peoples of Central Asia,
while simultaneously falling behind Europe technologically. This set the stage for the 19th century, in which
China adopted a defensive posture against European imperialism while simultaneously extending control into Central Asia.
In the early 20th century, the institution of the Emperor of China disappeared ....... See Wikipedia for more

Music, Culture & Entertainment
The Chinese created numerous musical instruments, such as the zheng, xiao, and erhu, that have spread
around East and Southeast Asia, especially to its dependencies. The sheng became the mother of several Western free-reed instruments.
Chinese literature has the longest continuous history and had been more prolific than other cultures' for
centuries because of the Chinese invention of printmaking. Prior to that, manuscripts of the Classics and
religious texts (mainly Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist) were manually written by ink brushes and distributed.
Mongolian Culture Website
The Mongol people has a well-established and glorious culture. Their claim to the reputation of "horseback
people" rests on their special affection for the grasslands and horses, which is derived from their thousands
of years' nomadic history. Genghis Khan, the God's Favored One, after his unification made on horseback,
reinforced the traditional culture while creaming off the quintessence of that of both the west and the east and created a rich, glorious, ethnically styled Mongol culture.
