Could you tell me abt the Shang Dynasty's intellectual side?
Yeah, sure. They created a writing system that consisted of pictures called caligrapgy,
Artisans used kaolin to make pottery, and the Shang also raised silkworms to weave thread into silk cloth.
Wait...like the bug?
Yep! And, their tombs were furnished with jade, stone, and bronze.
Wow, thanks for telling me that. I'll tell you a little about the Chou Dynasty.
Philosophy was taught, and the type was Confucianism. Some of Confucius's early works were put into works called the Five Classics.
Oh, I had no idea. I'll also tell you some what the Han Dynasty did.
The Han Dynasty wrote the first dictionary. They also performed martial arts, instruments, danced, and told stories on mythology.
Wow, I never heard any of this. i've got one last dynasty for you called the T'ang Dynasty.
The T''ang Dynasty had painters and sculptures who created new styles of expression. They also had scholars who wrote more encyclopedias and histories.
Oh yeah, and I heard they created printing which helped the production of more books.
