"If you are in a hurry you will never get
there."
Chinese Proverb
Ancient China
2205 BC-1911 AD
"Chinese
civilization originated in various city-states along the
Yellow River (Chinese:
黃河; pinyin:
Huáng Hé) valley in the
Neolithic era. The written history of China begins with the
Shang Dynasty (ca. 1550 BCE – ca. 1046 BCE).
Turtle shells with ancient
Chinese writing from the
Shang Dynasty have been
carbon dated to as early as 1500 BCE. The origins of Chinese
culture, literature and
philosophy, developed during the
Zhou Dynasty (1045 BCE to 256 BCE) that followed the Shang. It was
the longest lasting dynasty and spans the period in which the written
script evolved from ancient oracle script to the beginnings of modern
Chinese writing." Source:
