Yes you have been very loyal to me, your emperor. I'll give you the land.
I have been very loyal to you, so in return may I please get land?
The Qin Dynasty
We finally finished the wall!
Perfect, now the people from the north won't invade us anymore.
The Zhou dynasty conquered the Shang dynasty, and the Shang dynasty moved the to the east. And they established their own ruling dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty
I am Qin Shi Huang Di's son, and I became a ruler after my father died.
The Zhou dynasty established the system of feudalism. The feudalism system involved three classes of society: nobles, commoners, and slaves. In return for being loyal to their emperor, they got land.
The Han Dynasty
Let's add on to this wall.
For centuries, invaders from the north harassed the Chinese. So when Qin Shi Huang Di became emperor, China had a series of disconnected walls along the northern boarder.
The Han Dynasty
We have a lot of artistic achievements! Now let's make a new kind of poetry.
Qin Shi Huang Di died in 210 BCE. After his death, his son gained the throne, but he proved to be a weak ruler.
The Han dynasty added on to the wall that the Qin dynasty started, and the wall became The Great Wall of China. It stretched over 5,500 miles of land.
Great idea. Let's name it The Great Wall of China.
The Han dynasty made a lot of artistic achievements, and combined a new form of poetry called fu.
