10.  From 221 B.C.E. to 1644 C.E. China went through several dynasties. › A dynasty is a ruling family.  Each had a different way of selecting government officials. › Some used Aristocrats, or wealthy land owners. › Some used Meritocracy, rule by officials of proven merit or skill. › The Mongols, only allowed foreigners to rule the government.

11.  In 221 B.C.E. Prince Zheng became the first emperor, the started the Qin dynasty. › Emperors were choose their heir, often a son before death. › It was believed emperors had a mandate from heaven if they ruled well. › Floods, famines, plagues, and earthquakes were taken as signs that heaven was not pleased.  When a dynasty failed to rule well, it was believed people should overthrow the government.

13.  Lasted over 400 years. › The Emperor technically had no limits to his power. › He choose his advisors, from the aristocracy and then generally acted on their general consensus. › Having a large group of governmental officials is called a bureaucracy. › This works as long as the workers are skilled, but dishonest workers seized control.  This caused the Han dynasty to fall, which caused a period of disunity until 589. › Warlords fought with each other for control. › The poor suffered as they had to pay high taxes, as they went into debt they had to give up their land.  The Sui unified China for 29 years, but taxes led to civil unrest. › In 618 C.E., general Li Yuan declared himself emperor and started the Tang dynasty.

15.  Like the Han, the Tang had a large bureaucracy. › What is bureaucracy again?  In order to have an excellent government the Tang dynasty created civil service examinations. › These are tests to prove they are qualified to hold office. › These tests had questions about Chinese classics, poetry, legal, and administrative issues. › Several groups of people, such as merchants, actors, and beggars were not allowed to take the exams. › Despite the fact these tests had the best people in the government, they favored the aristocrats since the poor couldn’t afford tutors, books, or the time to study.  Like the Han, the Tang dynasty followed the teachings of Confucius.

17.  These tests created scholar-officials. › The Song dynasty continued these tests, but made it open to more people. › This was possible due to state supported schools. › People wanted these jobs because of the respect, being excused from taxes, and military services.  These civil service exams were based off the teachings of Confucius. › Confucius taught that people must act properly in five important relationships: ruler and subject, father and son, older sibling and younger sibling, husband and wife, and friend and friend. › Except for friend and friend, one person is supposed to be above the other.  Those above should be kind to those below, and those below should respect and obey the above.

18. An Example of Confucius’ relationship rules. Respect and obedience Kindness

20.  The Mongols captured most of Asia during the 13 th century. › Kublai Khan took the title emperor, starting the Yuan dynasty.  The Mongols created four social classes. › Mongols were at the top. › Next were foreigners, these were friends of the Mongols and held most government jobs. › Now were northern Chinese who had dealt with the Mongols in the past. › Lastly were the southern Chinese.  Kublai Khan got rid of the examination system, and hired Mongols. › It ignored skill, so scholars lost their high place in society. › There weren’t enough Mongols for the government jobs, nor were many skilled or literate. › Therefore many foreigners received jobs. › Tests were eventually brought back, but favored non-Chinese.  The Mongols were hated and eventually revolted against.

22.  The Ming managed to overthrow the Mongol leaders.  They also brought back the civil service exams. › They emphasized moral behavior, justice, kindness, loyalty to the emperor, proper conduct, and the importance of family.  These tests gave poor and hardworking people a chance to be government officials.  The tests did not test science, mathematics, or engineering. › People with that knowledge were kept out of government. › Confucians also saw merchants as the lowest class since they only sold instead of producing. › The Ming failed to adapt with the times, and fell.
