SHANG DYANSTY 1600- 1046 BC
Chinese civilization originated in various regional centers along both
the Yellow River and the Yangtze river valleys in the Neolithic era.
Shang Dynasty (c. 1700 – c. 1046 BC). oracle bones with
ancient Chinese writing from the Shang Dynasty have
been radiocarbon dated to as early as 1500 BC.
First “historical” dynasty.
Development of Writing
Bronze age civilization.
Emergence of “T’ien” concept—heaven—where God and
ancestors dwelled.
The Shang Dynasty featured 31 kings, from Tang of
Shang to King Zhou of Shang.
The Shang Dynasty moved its capital six times. The final move
to Yin in 1350 BC led to the dynasty's golden age.
ZHOU DYNASTY 1066-256 BC
The Chou rulers, who replaced the Shang Dynasty around 1100 B.C.,
served as the coordinators of a series of regional kingdoms rather than
as a central governing Authority.
The Zhou appeared to have begun their rule under a semi-feudal
system.
The king of Zhou at this time invoked the concept of the Mandate of
Heaven.
In the 8th century BC, power became decentralized during the Spring
and Autumn Period.
In this period, local military leaders used by the Zhou began to assert
their power and bribe.
The Hundred Schools of Thought of Chinese philosophy blossomed
during this period, and such as Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism were
founded.
CONFUCIUS
Bright colors, painting detailed scenes, roof tiles, roof guardians, and
many marble fence posts.
On its two sides were bedrooms for the elders; the two wings of the
building (known as "guardian dragons" by the Chinese) were for the
junior members of the family, as well as the living room, the dining
room, and the kitchen, although sometimes the living room could be
very close to the center.
Sometimes the extended families became so large that one or even two
extra pairs of "wings" had to be built.
All buildings were legally regulated, and the law held that the number
of storeys, the length of the building and the colours used depended
on the owner's class.
Each gate is narrow which contrasts
with the large squares surrounding
all gates. Together the depth and
width of the space creates a sense of
mystery and a regal attitude.
