中国有悠久的历史英语作文小学二年级China Has a Very Old History
Hi there! My name is Li Ming and I'm eight years old. Today my teacher asked us to write about China's long history. I'm really excited to share what I've learned!
China is one of the oldest countries in the world. Its history goes back over 5,000 years! Can you believe how long ago that was? It was around the same time that the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramids.
A big reason why China has such an old history is because of its great rivers like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. These rivers gave the early Chinese people water to drink, food to eat from farming, and a way to travel around. The Yellow River valley is considered the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization.
One of the earliest dynasties was the Xia Dynasty which ruled from around 2070 BC to 1600 BC. The first dynasties helped create many things we still use today like the Chinese writing system, the calendar, and even silk!
During the Shang Dynasty from 1600 BC to 1046 BC, the Chinese made bronze tools, weapons, and sculptures. They were
very good at making intricate designs in bronze. The capital city had huge bronze walls around it.
The Zhou Dynasty from 1046 BC to 256 BC was a really important time. This is when many of the biggest ideas in Chinese philosophy were developed like Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism. The Zhou also came up with the Mandate of Heaven, the idea that only good rulers had the right to rule from the heavens.
Wow, we've only covered about 2,000 years so far and there is still so much more amazing history! Let me tell you about some other really cool periods and dynasties.
Around 221 BC, the Qin Dynasty united China into one big empire for the first time. The Qin ruler Qin Shi Huangdi had a huge army with thousands of terracotta soldier statues built to protect him in the afterlife. Parts of the Great Wall of China were also built during the Qin Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty from 206 BC to 220 AD was another golden age. There were big advances in technology, arts, and trade. The Silk Road trade route across Asia and Europe was established during this era. Paper, the seismograph, and China's best historians also came from the Han Dynasty time.
After the Han, China went through a few centuries of disunity with lots of small kingdoms. However, the Tang Dynasty from 618 to 907 AD brought back a brilliant age. The Tang capital Chang'an was the biggest city in the world back then. Buddhism also spread a lot more during Tang times. The Tang had a strong government and many smart scholars.
Wow, I've run out of space but there is still so much more I could say about the Song Dynasty's inventions, the Mongols conquering China, the last imperial Qing Dynasty, and China becoming a modern nation in the 1900s. Maybe my teacher will let me write another essay about China's amazing 5,000 year history soon!。
