Explanation
The formation of the
Tang Dynasty led to high
taxes, forced labor on
public projects and
fights between warlords.
Similar to what
happened after the fall
of Rome, after the fall of
the Han Dynasty, China
was taken over by
tyrants.
The following Chinese
dynasties are listed in
order: Yuan, Song, Tang
and Han

central government and China
experienced wealth and prosperity for

word to describe how
government workers got
their jobs during the Song
dynasty.

Kublai Khan was a leader
that appointed foreigners
to government offices
because he trusted them
more than the Chinese.
Meritocracy- workers have to prove
their skill or prove their merit in order
to get the job (took civil service exams
to prove this)

remembered positively
after you died, you should

the government.
Confucius taught that in
relationships people
should act properly
because one person is
smarter than the other.
To be remembered positively after you

you- son to father, younger sibling to
older sibling, subject to ruler, wife to
husband, friend to friend.

China broke up in to separate
kingdoms.
Han, Tang, Song, Yuan

matter what class you were born into,
you just had to prove your skill.
