ancient civilization that has continued to this very day. As China was one of the oldest empires in the
world its development had certain peculiarities. This paper, relatively easy to make and lightweight,
was called the “paper of Maquis Ts’ai.” (Bodde, 1942). By substituting these cheaper materials for
the expensive silk and the cumbersome bamboo used earlier, paper was brought within the grasp of
the common man. The aim of these treatments was to drain off excess yang or yin and thus establish

and that the family unit form the basis of good government. However, the legalists disdained a

passed under Legalism were designed to make the common people ignorant and weak. Emperor Shih
Huang Ti managed his empire through this set of laws, because the elaborate legal machinery he had
instituted functions on its own accord, which allows for free time to attend to other things. This
principle is contained in the statement by Han Fei Tzu which says, “But if he employs such measures
as will keep them from doing evil, then the entire state can be brought up to a uniform standard. The
legalists as exemplified by Han Fei Tzu believed a good legal system will ensure the very survival of
the state itself. The key to a peaceful existence, according to the analysis of Confucius, was a return
to the virtues of humanity and benevolence in social relations by reciprocity. It takes place between
the months of late March and late April. During the Han dynasty an epidemic of what appears to

Introduction The modern world is full of wonderful devices and ideas which allow societies to create
elaborate cultures and exploit the rich resources of the natural world in novel and exciting ways. The
lifestyles that the ancient Chinese had is extremely different then the lifestyle that the Modern
Western Civilization which includes North America and Europe currently has because of the
different way that people thought and made decisions. Similarly the ancient chinese mathematics
books have a vast collection of practical problems, giving the problems first and followed by their
solutions. This shows the extent to which disloyalty was not tolerated.
However, in some respects ancient physicians saw each patient more completely as a reflection of his
surroundings (indeed, the entire universe) than does the doctor of today. In the second century B. C.,
the Chinese ambassador Chang Chien spent more than a decade in Mesopotamia, Syria, and Egypt,
bringing back information on drugs, viticulture, and other subjects. Throughout the Ming dynasty
(1368-1644), the practicing medical theorists could be divided into six main philosophic schools.
This list includes silk, tea, porcelain, paper, printing, gunpowder, the mariner’s compass, plants
(peach, apricot, citrus fruits, chrysanthemums, camellias and gingko), zinc, lacquer, medicines and
leisure activities (playing cards, dominoes, kites and shadow play). It can unequivocally be said that,
without the Chinese invention of paper, printing would have remained a laborious, expensive and
exclusive process, confined to the rich who could afford the high cost of parchment. Throughout the
novel, we see Ts’ao personally determining what was to happen to anyone who was found
committing a crime. Physicians were also rated according to their results, and as early as the Chou
and T'ang dynasties each doctor had to report both successes and failures—to control his movement
up or down in the ranks. He emerged without delight, he went back in without a fuss. The amount of
lives, cultural traditions, and differing intellectual thoughts that were lost and destroyed as he strove
to meet his goals for the country can never be recovered or replaced. Malpractice How can we
balance the need to lower the cost of malpractice insurance with the fact that physician malpractice is
one of the leading causes of death. It was played at weddings, funerals, religious festivals, gatherings
and etc. A magnetized needle (obtained by rubbing an iron needle with a lodestone), was floated in a
bowl of water with directional markings, or suspended from a thread, and incorporated the principle
of magnetic deviation. The laws and justice system were different because of the lack of education
and experience of the Ancient Chinese and the lack knowledge of what law and justice system have
been proven successful to make their vision of the country. The ornamental and exotic fish in
aquariums and the folding parasol also originated from ancient China. (Bodde, 1942). This list is by
no means exhaustive: some other Chinese contributions are the philosophic doctrines of
Confucianism and Taoism, the civil service examination, paper money, matches, the seismograph,
stirrups, plowshares and calligraphy. (Caldwell and Fullem, 2006). In the essay “Bronze Mirrors of
ancient chinese Art” the author focuses on China, which is famous for its beautiful and ornamental
Ancient culture and art. The top students could be heart doctors, the next level were assistant

action, and the build up of karma by doing good deeds and avoiding bad ones. Disloyalty was a
serious offence not tolerable in the Chinese society during this period and any slight sign of
disloyalty normally led to nothing less than execution. Translating the Book Seventeen from the
Analects of Confucius, Slingerland (209) notes that in one of the accounts from the Record of
Rituals, Confucius used to give ritual instructions to guide his disciples and emphasize the antiquity
of chinese culture. From simple bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder, the Chinese incorporated
rocket fire-arrows in warfare. The effect of this influence can be seen when looking at pre colonial
China and events that followed as Britain slowly gained greater influence and power over the
Chinese. People were rewarded for telling on other who broke the law and those who were
convicted on crimes were punished brutally by execution, mutilation, or penal labor. To what extent
does gender actually dictate thought process. Peace and order will then be attained as people act
accordingly based on their status in the hierarchy. This is what I call not using the mind to repel the
Way, not using man to help out Heaven. The Chinese doctor wanted to learn ow the patient had
violated the tao, and to do this he took into account the patient's rank; changes in his or her social
status, household, economic position, sense of well-being, or appetite; the weather; and the dreams
of the patient and his or her family. We are using up our planet and are striving to do whatever we
can to be the powerhouse in the world even if that means spending a ridiculous amount of money on
a new arms race that could be used provide the entire world with safe drinking water. In this list of
multiple inventions, the one which stands out in the importance of its contribution to the history of
mankind is the Chinese invention of paper.
