Document Based Question

Title: Confucius of China

Confucius was an important educator during ancient China. His main goal was to influence society for good. He thought that if everyone was able to get along, order and peace would be brought to China. He was focused on bringing peace, stability, as well as prosperity to the ruler’s kingdoms. Confucius was a teacher as well as a philosopher, and his ideas were used as training for the people that worked for the government. His work was changed into a new type of religion or philosophy known as Confucianism. As a teacher and as a philosopher, Confucius had a major part in the change of how people of China treated one another. By the end of his life, and even today, Confucius had a major impact on China’s society.

Title: Great Wall of China

Throughout China’s history, they often worried about the nomads that lived along the northern border. Shi Huangdi finally developed a way to end the border wars. He ordered the largest construction project in Chinese history. He called it the “Dragon’s Back,” commonly known as the Great Wall of China. Many other rulers built parts of the wall and he decided to connect them. When it was finished it stretched over 1,400 miles. The walls were each thirty feet high which is equal to three stories of a building! The watch towers were every 100 to 200 yards and allowed the Chinese warriors to keep supplies for the archers. The Great Wall of China is one of the wonders of the World.
