Mauryan Dynasty
I learn that the mauryan dynasty have alot of cities and have alot of routes for tradings.This tells us that trading was very important at that time.But the routes by than is not safe or secure,fierce tribes were surronding it hence making it hard for traders to travel to trade.Traders also have to follow rough paths through jungles that were inhabited by wild animals too!Traders travels in a large group many as 500 men because of the dangers hence they brought with them hundreds of oxen,mules and camels!

The Shang Dynasty is the second of the Three Holy Dynasties of Chinese historiography. It is said to have been founded by Tang the Great, the last ruler was the depraved King Zhou. Since all the events of this historical period, reported by sources written many hundred years later, cannot be taken seriously, many scholars at the end of the 19th century thought the Shang Dynasty to be purely mythical. Only the discovering of oracle bones at the begin of the 20th century and the deciphering of the incised inscriptions proved that at least the last part of the Shang was indeed a historical period.But the kings of Yin were not the centre of the Chinese world. Around them, many other cities and states (the ten thousand states, presented a world full of cultural diversity of which the state of the rulers at a city discovered at Erligang were dominating the ancient Central Plain for a certain time. Later, when the kings of Yin (known as the ruling house of Shang) entered history, they were only one royal house that had to fight for dominance with many other cities between modern Gansu and Shandong, Hebei and Jiangxi.

What happened c.1550 BCE
What cause the end of Shang civilization?
-The last King to rule the Shang civilization was killed at c.1150 BCE.Hence the dynasty of Shang ended. After that, the western Zhou dynasty ruled from 1027-771BCE. However the change or the dynasty did not result in ending the Shang civilization. Sadly at around 771BCE ,a group of people killed the Zhou king and his son had to move this capital eastward. Hence his dynasty was known as the Eastern Zhou dynasty(771-221BCE).
However, fighting between the people continued and hence the last 232 years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was known as the period of Warring States.During the period, the northern part of China was broken up into several competing kingdoms. Finally, in 221BCE a prince managed to unite these kingdoms to form the first Chinese empire under the Qing Dynasty (221-206 BCE)
This is an picture of a oracle bone.It is used by priest to tell the future as giving answers to questions and their answers carved onto the bones.
