"If you are in a hurry

Chinese Proverb
Asia
"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."
