Many cultures tell the story of a great flood. Chinese mythology speaks of tarantula grains being set upon the earth by an angry water god flooding the land for years. One man didnt look to escape from the flood or ride out the storm in an arc but to overcome it. His name was you and he built a series of downs and canals to channel the rising water to control its flow. He engineer order of the chaos allowing his people to survive and to flourish. You would become emperor and his deeds would become legend. Today the story of modern china 5000 years in the making is still a story of order the struggle to keep it against the forces that would take it away. We have the belgian Road Initiative military is also expanding how can you argue that its not perfectly poised to be the superpower. Chinese version of thora turned were not recipes for or content without influencing the whole world the whole world is an image. It is ingrained in the Chinese Culture that the top dog is no fun and china has no desire to replace any country to be the top dog. Used to say history and Everything Else must serve the people only the party represents the people the party. Controlled in the rating of history. China once ruled the waves. The chinese empire stretched across east asia and its influence reaches far as the edges of europe. For almost 2000 years from the 1st century b. C. E. China was a leading world power full of invention and adventure a center of global trade. Underpinning the power and wealth was the principle of order which bound together a vast and i keep ing it from collapse. 252300 years ago the chinese world was united on the one leadership of thats when this very idea or a ideal of china order was put in practice so for the 1st time a singer. Go or 30 unify the whole known world they call the chinese world or china as we call it today the time called the chain and thats where the word china comes from. The chin dynasty had emerged victorious for a prolonged period of wars between rival states and in the year 221 b. C. Its not about creating the 1st chinese empire. It introduced a common currency and a standardized language across china. The chin imperial project was built on a strategy designed for war but republic is to maintain peace this system known as legalism applied strict laws and severe punishment as a way of keeping the empire and its people in order legalism emphasize on the use of force clear use of force discipline control and empower wish individuals so there are state is strong right legalism is pretty make it come to hard core manipulation of human beings if you will. Legalism was a ruthless strategy designed for state security and to keep state power its emphasis on order board principles originally meant for social harmony that had emerged some 3 centuries earlier and based on the teachings of one man. Can fish is that maybe that the most important to think or. For the whole history of china. Basically hes idea about the old it is about the rich or the reacher or it is the old elf eve you are not follow. The practice of reach all of it can be thought of as of side. That order really starts from within the family the important social relations that are built within the family so the father and son are parent and child the key is the is relation ality. Whereas western thinking prizes the individual and things of the individuals relationship to other things but with the individual at the center china china has is one of those cultures where relations are much more important and people are defined in a sense by rules. As a society observed to these roles lived by behind morality and sad respect the hierarchy that confucius laid out. Disorder. Is renounce these lofty old traditions. Confucianism and promoting legalism. This chin land period we saw the rise of this philosophy known as legalism what did legalism look like in the historical sense so the relationship between the ruler and rude is defined almost like. Men and herds are sheep you know you manage people you root them read that come listenership top down for your structure is a core so the went to cover. The power issue is clear there so for that you can talk about the humanitarian soft kind of our rituals confucianism is famous for but you recover with a deuce of a force no i would say in todays world we would define confucianism as one of the 3 pillars of the Chinese Civilization and its key element i would say emphasizes order based on your attitude and ethics now legalism basically would leave everything to the most of the law if anyone is in violation of the law or a particular code for example the penalty or consequences will come after him i would say confusion is very able to maintain stability for the long term that only i really have a problem with that legalism is actually very simple is used in law and force in law in a very harsh way you know is what the lays down nothing in terms of what people want or they dont want the confucianism is the really big issue all that have been said in the name of confucius for about 2000 years if you can bring poor conclusions back from the grace he cannot reckon. Ice them all the things that were done in his name were completely against what confucius himself taught in what way if you reduce confucianism tool is most simple form is not order is not a hierarchy is to the right thing in the judgment of history it was a subsequent emperor us from the 2nd empire. Down who tried to conscript confucianism and gave it and elevate it into a kind of a state religion status and they end in the process also mix it with legalism in order to have both the Legal Mechanism to control as well as they can of ability to claim a moral authority that you must all duties in the name of confucius. An early imperial china mall of ours he came from a source higher than human something altogether more divine the job of the ruler is to create order and if you create order and you have a Stable Society and you help provide for your people then you will have what we translate in english as the mandate of heaven you will you will be a legitimate ruler. The mandate of heaven and me was an ancient chinese creed that distorted moral authority on any would be rula. Without this mandate and amber lacked the divine right to rule with it came the responsibility for what was called. Literally everything under heaven with china as the middle kingdom at its haunch. A ruler is someone who doesnt simply impose himself hes someone who helps lift people up support them or give them the means by which to support themselves the key feature is this intimate connection between the ruler success and the peoples prosperity. The jinns connection with the Chinese People based on fear or short lived. The mandate from heaven and authority are victims was lost as the people rebelled against crucial chain rule. In 206 b. C. E. That mandate was taken on by a new dynasty the one who cloaked the legalism with the deliberate return to more merciful confucian ideals. It was a master stroke. The 100 for another 400 years. At the beginning of the 3rd century c. E. China entered a golden age 1600 years of unprecedented growth. The 3rd to the 19th century so Chinese Civilization.

By the time we get to the 16th or 17th centuries china has major merchant groups across different parts of the empire as well as those who are trading with Southeast Asia in this period of time china is a very prosperous empire china standards of living and its commercial sophistication in large measure were the equal of that of europeans into the 18th century it really laid down foundation of a particular chinese political system in practice it continued all the way to the 19th century when the europeans came in. China was in many ways europes equivalent economically in terms of its prosperity certainly in terms of the numbers of people it could feed and the stability of its political order is challenged in a new way in the 1900 century by a new type of foreign power led by the british who have built the largest navy in the world by this time the british the colonial empire is expanding rapidly they move into east asia on the lookout for colonies so they want to have access to the Chinese Market they want to sell opium which theyve grown in india to the chinese the emperor refuses.

But the chinese effort to resist in the 1st opium war was a disaster for the british as part of their bounty take hong kong and this then becomes a process y. Which the British Occupation of hong kong spreads over time into other major cities in china the socalled treaty ports of entry many of the most important. Become of the foreign control. The worlds praying powers moved in on a wounded and bewildered china shorn of its land and it says a. Person hived off the city to port city of hong kong for itself well france germany russia and the United States secure that are an access to puts as well as rights to trade back goods and to spread the word of their Christian Faith defeat in a war against france would follow but an 894. 00 defeat at the hands of an enemy close to home would rocked china to its core. What we course the empire used to get she can. Watch the war that the empire i fought against japan and all for their control of career. Career was one of chinas 3 states and the last it was die each year that china was being defeated not by some more than at one she looked in powers like the British Empire of Queen Victoria but by an inferior neighbor japan now that really shake the empire and that was the point when things started to change in a traumatic way and they were so solidly defeat that they did. What it was them what you had to make in 39 was defeat after defeat after defeat after defeat and their point chinese and the chinese lead there is salt china the chicken diners the was the center was the most powerful most the serialize the nation but 2 of the big their big surprise there were defeated. Confusion and conflict reigned across china as it seemed to terra truth when they didnt forces from overseas and battle rebellious at home. In 1000. 00 a level the imperial system that it kept order for more than 2000 years collapsed under the weight of a nationalist revolution the middle kingdom was now a republic. The new nationalists republic joined the allied forces in the 1st world war only the chinese contribution to be betrayed as the treaty of versailles ended the war and handed chinese territory over to japan. It was another slap in the face. On may 4th 1919 and by the impotence of our leaders thousands of Young Chinese took to the streets demanding political and cultural transformation. It came to be known as the may 4th me call for a move away from tide confusion morris and mostly the nationalists to reform the government Kuomintang Party became tea and model chinas government but at the same time inspired the formation of a rival political force.

Will you rise up with us. But in 1937 japan invaded china 1st 2nd time nationalists and communists came together to fight the Japanese Occupation as the 2nd world war convulsed the nations of the east and the west.
