Song Dynasty

The Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1260-1368 CE, was characterized by strife among the Chinese people. In the Song dynasty, which lays the foundation for the Yuan, northern China was taken over by the Jurchen/Tartars, a semi-nomadic pastoral group consisting of skilled riders and archers. Huizong, who was the last emperor of the Song dynasty, focused his time on the arts rather than China’s nomadic or foreign relationships. His disinterest caused the take-over to be more plausible. The Yellow River…

In “Song of Soloman”, Morrison tells a remarkable story reflecting the absence of a father figure in African American homes. Instead of looking at the absence of the black man in a blackm family, she depicts this men not as traitors or deserters, but as strong, exploratory spirits providing a solid foundation for their children, even if his absence affects them. Morrison introduces the imagery of flight, using this to capture a vast foreshadowing to the family’s changing aspects of “Song of…

China’s trade growth began as early as the Han dynasty between 202 BCE and 220 CE. This era brought expansion of Chinese territory and new connections with the Indian and Parthian civilizations to the West. As Chinese technology and culture advanced, greater international interactions facilitated the growth of trade.

culturally transformed by their rule. Had China remained its own state and continued to conquer surrounding nations as it did during the Han dynasty then his argument may have some validity. There is no definite way to know Ch’oe Malli’s knowledge on the extensive history of China as the stretch of the Chinese empire grew and shrank from the Shang Dynasty to Malli’s time. His ignorance of the issue could be a factor in his opinion but based on the available information today China had clearly…

Since the Tang Dynasty in 716 AD, the Yueyang Tower has guarded the Northern gateway to the Hunan province, the point where the Yangtze River meets the Xiang River at Lake Dongting. The site, once a platform for the Wu Kingdom (222-250 AD) general Lu Su to train his naval troops1, offers a beautiful and strategic panoramic view of the surrounding area and a near bird’s eye view of the lake – one of China’s largest bodies of fresh water. The tower had already been through numerous…

He worked as an official in the criminal court. He had experience in prison administration (Cultural China, 2008). Song Ci was knowledgeable in medicine and science. Therefore,…

One of the more neglected parts of the Bible is the Song of Songs (also called the Song of Solomon). Although it is easily found, right in the middle of the Bible, it is a book that is rarely read and hardly known; usually it is known to Muslims through just one verse, which we will come to later. Such neglect does not befit any of God's word, because as it says elsewhere in the Bible: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in…
