Development of Civilization

Civilization has not always been apart of human life. Before it came humans were known as hunter-gatherers.Humans lived in small nomadic groups. They were never in one place for a long amount of time but were always traveling. Agriculture however, brought on civilization. Here people were able to settle down and small cities were created.Soon after agriculture slowly began influencing the world and nomadic groups had to depend on civilized people. Disease also helped agriculture strive. Since people in civilized cities grew immune to the diseases, people in the nomadic groups ended up dying because they weren't immune.

Classical China was a civilization that was made of four dynasties. The Shangdi, Zhou, Qin, and Han. During the Shangdi and Zhou dynasties. The country didn't have a strong central government that they depended on noble families and landowning families to be loyal to the government. This wasn't a good idea because the relied on families could go rogue anytime if they wanted. This however, changed when Shi Huangdi came in power and the Qin dynasty was founded. He was a tyrant and he vanquished all his rivals, created a strong central government that didn't rely on noble or landowning families and took them out of power. After his death however, the Han dynasty was created by a peasant named Wu Ti who wasn't a tyrant but was a very respected person. Since, there was a social system it was a good thing that it was flexible. During the Han dynasty a peasant kid who had talent was able to go school if selected and eventually could move up into the bureaucrats who were in the high class.There wasn't a main religion in China since they worshiped the emperor and other religions were tolerated if they didn't go against that rule China flourished with a lot of philosophies. Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism were the main ones and they all had a lot of supporters.
