Indian CultureBecause of its location, people from other races
(Persia, Central Asia and Greece) fled to Northern India during times of political trouble in their country.

Chinese Culture Under the Han Dynasty, China conquered
many people. At one time they had a population of over 60 million people.
Because of the location on the Silk Road and their resources (including silk) it was a great area for traders as well.
These 2 groups of people brought new customs and ideas to China.

Chinese Culture The people conquered by the Han brought
in new ideas, languages and customs to China
To help with this, China practiced assimilation – the process of making conquered people follow the conqueror’s culture – by:Settling in their landsMarrying their peopleSetting up schools to teach them Confucianism

Trade in China There was worldwide demand for silk
China began to trade silk, salt, and iron and other items along the Silk Road

Other things Trade and war introduced China to many other
people. This helped them develop new things: Paper – more books = more education and more
record keeping Collar harness – horses could pull more weight
than in Europe 2 Blade Plow – farming was faster Wheelbarrow Water mills – to grind grain Silk mills – to make more silk (also made silk
production a government secret)

Chinese Paper LanternIn China, they celebrate the Chinese New Year with lights, dragons, paper crafts and lots of fireworks! These paper lanterns are one Type of decoration used during this Chinese celebration!What you'll need: Construction paper, Scissors, Tape, Stapler, Ruler, Pencil, (Glue, glitter, sequins, if desired to decorate your lantern)How to make it: Use your ruler to measure and cut one inch off the short end of your paper. Set aside to use as the handle. Fold your paper in half lengthwise. Draw a line one inch from the end of the long edge of the paper opposite the folded edge. This will be the line where
you stop cutting. Measure and mark lines one inch apart starting at the folded edge and moving towards the "stop cutting" line. (see
photo) Cut on the marked lines up to the "stop cutting" line. Unfold the paper. Re-crease the paper in the opposite direction. This will hide any pencil marks. Match the long edges together on the lantern and use tape to hold it in place. Staple the handle to the top of the lantern. (see photo) Make as many lanterns as you wish and display them around your home. If you wish, add glue, glitter, sequins or other things to decorate your lanterns.

environment Africa is hard to settle There is the Sahara desert and the rain
forest which prevent use of these areas The northern coast and southern tip of
Africa and the savannas provide areas for people to live

Bantu People They traveled often because they use
slash and burn farming (slash and burn the grass and mix ashes with soil)
