Key Terms and People jade a hard gemstone oracle a prediction Section CHINA S PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY China is a large country with many different geographical features. China is about the same size as the United States. Some geographical features separated groups of people within China, while other features separated China from the rest of the world. These features include the Gobi Desert, which spreads over much of China s north, and rugged mountains on the western frontier. Low-lying plains in the east form one of the world s largest farming regions. Weather patterns vary widely across China. Two great rivers flow from west to east, the Huang He, or Yellow River, and the Chang Jiang, or Yangzi River. In which part of China is the Gobi Desert? CIVILIZATION BEGINS Like other ancient peoples, people in China first settled along rivers. By 7000 BC farmers grew rice in the Chang Jiang Valley. Along the Huang He, they grew millet and wheat. Early Chinese also fished and hunted with bows and arrows. They raised pigs and sheep. Separate cultures developed along the two rivers.

CHINA S FIRST DYNASTIES Societies along the Huang He grew larger and more complex. Around 2200 BC, a legendary emperor called Yu the Great is said to have founded the Xia (SHAH) dynasty. It is believed that the first flood control channels were built during the Xia dynasty. The first dynasty for which we have clear evidence is the Shang. It was firmly established by the 1500s BC. The Shang king and his family were at the top of the social order. Nobles and warrior leaders also had high rank. Artisans lived in groups depending on what they did for a living. Farmers worked hard but had little wealth. Taxes claimed much of what they earned. Slaves provided an important source of labor. The Shang made many advances, including China s first writing system. The Chinese symbols that are used today are based on those of the Shang period. Priests carved questions about the future on cattle bones and turtle shells, which were then heated, causing them to crack. The priests believed they could read these cracks to predict the future. For this reason the bones were called oracle bones. Artisans made beautiful bronze containers for cooking and religious ceremonies. They also made ornaments, knives, and axes from jade. The army developed war chariots and bronze body armor. Shang astrologers developed a calendar based on the cycles of the moon. Under which dynasty were the first flood control channels built in China? Which dynasty created China s writing system? CHALLENGE ACTIVITY Critical Thinking: Drawing Inferences Using the library or online resource, study ancient Chinese writing. Use some of these symbols to illustrate something you have learned about China 59 Guided Reading Workbook
