The Book OF KNOWLEDGE
Before China became a republic

Before China became a republic
in 1912, she had been ruled mostly
by dynasty for thousands Of years.
A preview article today OF the
earliest dynasties about which we
know very much-the Chow Cap
proximately 100 BIC. to 255 B.C.)
and the Tsin or Chin dynasty,
which began in 255 B C.
Then came the Han dynasty
(2O6 BIC. to 22O ADD. During this
period, Buddhism was brought to
China from India. Trade was fos-
tered. Camel caravans made reg
ular trips westward into central
Asia. They carried Chinese silks,
iron and other products, which
found their way (partly by sea- as
far as Rome - and products of
Greece and Rome we're brought
back.
After the Han dynasty, there
was a long period of disunion.
Then came the Sui dynasty 1889
to 618) and the great and wonder
full Tang dynasty (618 to 907. In
the Tang era, China became the
most progressive and the strong
est country in the world. Litera-
ture flourished. Painting lowered
into distinction, and today paint.
ings from the Tang dynasty are
cherished among the worlds great
treasures. Paper had been invent
ed in the Han era. Now it became
even more important, because
books began to be printed from
tvnA

Following the Tang, there was
another period of restlessness, I'M
til $50, when the Sung, Or T'sung,
dynasty began. It lasted until 1880.
Early in the 18th century, the
Mongols gained more and more
power on the borders Of central
Asia, and in the north of China.
The Mongol general, Jenghiz
Khan, the Greatest of the
Great" flashed over western Asia
and into China's borders, and
ruled owe an empire stretching
from the China Sea to Russia. The
Sung empire was divided with the
Mongols.
Finally Jenghiz Khan's grand
son, Kublai Khan, completed the
conquest of China. His realm ex-
tended over a large part of Asia
and a wide area in Europe. He
was the first emperor in the Mon
gol dynasty O28O to 1859, one of
the most brilliant rulers the world
has ever known. To the court of
Kublai Khan came the boy from
Venice, Marco Polo, the first Eu-
ropean to get a passing view of
the wonders Of China.
The Mongol dynasty declined
after Kublai's death. Rebellions,
murder, misgov"rnment and other
troubles caused discomfort. In 1868
Mongol dynasty came to an
end, and the Ming dynasty began.
This was a purely Chinese govern
lnent. The foreign NonSols had
