Famous Women in Chinese History

Wang Zhaojun

In 33Bc during the Han dynasty there was a policy of diplomacy with the Huns, making sure that the Han dynasty and the Huns were on friendly term. This policy involves marring high class Chinese ladies with the Hun nobility so to cement the relationship of the 2 parties. Many women were forced to marry the Hun nobility but only one saw it as a positive opportunity and openly offered herself to this exchange. Her name was Wang Zhaojun and was described as one of the "Four greatest beauties" in Chinese history. The Khan of the Huns personally came to Chang an city the then capital city and asked for a court lady. Wang Zhaojun offered herself when all the other court ladies refuse because it meant leaving the known, their family and a pleasant life at court.

However unlike the Han dynasty the wife of the Kahn had a great influence and Wang Zhaojun managed to use this influence to continue the good relations between the Han dynasty and Huns. During her life the Hans and the Huns never had a war. 

Cai Wenji  

A famous musician with great knowledge and elegancy, Cai Wenji was famous in the eastern Han dynasty for her musical talent and skill in calligraphy. She broke out of the conformed role of the female in ancient china and managed to get status and riches. Her life changed one night at the age of 6 when she was woken up by her father, who also was a musician, playing music. She listen intently as her father,Cai Yong, played a stringed instrument. Suddenly the music stopped with a awful sound, as one of her father's strings broke. Cai Wenji went to her father and proclaimed that the second string must have been broken. Cai yong was shocked to see his daughter up and the late hour but also to see her guessing correctly at the string that was broken. Her Father first thought that she must have been lucky, so he broke another string and tested her again.

Again Cai Wenji told her father which string was broken. Her father gathered all the instruments in their house and spent the rest of the night testing her musical talent. In the morning Cai Yong made a decision to teach Cai Wenji everything he knew about music. Due to her great talent and her father's training Cai Wenji went on to become a famous musician.

Chinese History and Dynasties - China History Facts Tour

China, one of the four oldest civilizations in the world, has a written history of 4,000 years. The cycle of long periods of political unity (the Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties each govern for 250-300 years) are interspersed by periods of political disunity. China has gone over/through a long history of primitive society, slavery society, feudal society and semi-feudal semi-colonial society and the present socialist society.

The territorial pressure and incursions from China's north by nomadic groups, who are attracted by the wealth of the settled, agricultural civilization of China is a significant part of Chinese history. The most illustrative examples are those of the Mongols, who conquered China and established the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368 AD); and the Manchu, who again conquered China and established the last feudal dynasty of China - Qing Dynasty, which ruled China for 300 years (1644-1911 AD).

Old China's cultural continuity is mainly reflected in the evolution of the bureaucratic structure -- the civil service examination system, the scholar-gentry who sit for exams and staff the civil administration; the refinement of the Confucian classics as the basis of education and elite selection; the growth of commercial activity and the development of a unified and sophisticated marketing system over the vast, economically diverse area of China; the tendency toward political unification and reunification.

The process of dynastic formation, ascendancy, and decline is often referred to as the "dynastic cycle." The last years of many dynasties were marked by inefficient administration and corruption, when compounded by natural calamities such as flood or droughts, led to social unrest among the people. Movements and rebellions incorporating popular religious ideas took place in the last years of the Han, Yuan, and Qing dynasties, while political rebellions brought down the Tang and Ming dynasties.

A Tour Kids' American Museum of Natural History

At one point, June 20, my article on our tour of New York City with two (8 - and 10-year-olds) great-grandchildren. I asked several times to e-mail, and we visited a number of other issues. limited to about 1,000 words, I with the most spectacular finds (and Start children's favorite, the American Museum of Natural History.

The first stop was just at the American Museum of Natural History. Many if not most of its manifestationspermanent enough to keep children (and many adults) enchants all day. If you stay in New Jersey, probably arrive about the time the museum opens its doors to 10A.

Fossils and Dinosaurs

The first thing you see when you enter the museum on Central Park West, is the giant Barosaurus - The tallest free-standing dinosaur mount in the world. There are still many others on this floor, but we wanted to start our tour at the fourth levelOrientation Center. There, we watched the film to introduce the fossil galleries. Children always want to see the fossils, but soon tired of them. Read more about them before you can see, not only educates, but allows them to enjoy the exhibits. We then visited the dinosaurs and other primitive animals.

Today, exhibitions of animals and dioramas

Next it was up to level 3, where all the birds are exposed. The display (stuffed birds actually realisticdisplayed in dioramas in their interiors, which are all behind large windows show) so realistic, you really think they take flight as you approach. Then we went very slowly through the Hall of Africa, where African animals displayed (even on those super realistic dioramas, huge elephant looked at the fire, and entered the Hayden Planetarium theater. It 'was a surprise for the children, we did not said, or we would have peace untilthey have seen.

Rose Show Space Center

The Rose Center's Space Show Disney does look primitive in comparison. Viewers travel to the outer edges of our universe, examining the various planets on their way. The exhibition is made possible through the largest virtual reality simulator in the world. If the show is over, it's time for lunch so that all the way down to the basement (where the entrance to the subway) and the museum's food court (as many of our largershopping centers). This is a welcome surprise after lunch, is about the subway entrance, a special coffee ice cream. You need their ice cream before going on, ready - without food or drink allowed in rooms.

Earth Ocean Life

We resisted the temptation to return to the RV park, so that children could take a nap. If they were tired (and all this has much to offer on foot, although the Planetarium and the lunch has some welcome breaks) were not ready to renton. So we went the first stage, toured the Ocean Life, with his whale almost 100 meters long hanging from the ceiling. As a teenager, I lived in New York in the early forties was, I practically lived in the museum (we were members). While it was exciting then, modern technology has increased the old emotions, breathtaking, simulations of real life. In the Hall of Ocean Life, for example, seem completely immersed videos, children in the marine environment. The first stage has aseveral days Many of these presentations, stable, but we only had one, this time it might.

Sea Monsters IMAX theater

Out last stop was the IMAX theater. It may have been one of the IMAX Theater - are all over the country - and sees in this spectacular presentations to 360 degrees. You can imagine the effect on a eight-year-old and a 10-year-old.

Along the way we stopped outside the museum in the tourism sector at 1 and bought two DVDs.These were children employed in the camper, or if you suffer from boredom.

DVD Player: Blessing in Disguise

Note to the ceiling mounted DVD player. We do not like children in the fifth Cycling during the trip, unless my wife is there with them. Kids get fast riding in the back seat of the Ford Quad Cab, so we had to install a DVD player 10 "in the middle of the ceiling could be seen from the boring back seat. The sound ison the back and keep the low level is not too disturbing for us in the front seat. The player will cost us less than $ 400 installed and we established that this is a good investment. It is almost eliminated, "... we are there yet?" Choirs from the backseat.
