__Hi, I’m Chris. The Mandate of Heaven was the belief that the Chinese Emperors had the god-given right to rule. This followed the belief that the Shang Dynasty could talk to the ancestors from scratching symbols in Oracle bones. The guy who came up with this belief was named Confucius. You’ll learn more him in Chinese Philosophies. Now here’s some about the Silk Road____.__ Bailey: The Silk Road  was a series of paths that lead across the world. It was over 4000 miles long. Along the trip you encountered poisonous snakes and hot deserts. There were bandits ready to attack at the base of the mountains. When you got there the rewards were so cool. The people traded silk for other goods.

Hi its Payton here telling you about China’s Grand School and Civil Service. The Grand School was a school that students that would work for the government or very smart students. At the end of the year students would take a test, if they passed they would go and work for the government and were highly respected. Civil Service was all of the schools and how they prepared the students to go and work for the Government.

Paper was invented by Han craftworkers. Paper provided a way to keep written records. Chinese made paper by pounding bark off of Mulberry trees. They also invented the seismograph. The seismograph can detect earthquakes. Inside swung a long metal pendulum and when the ground shook the pendulum would swing in direction of the earthquake. The pendulum would hit the rod in which the rod would knock a ball out of a dragon’s mouth. The ball came out in the direction the earthquake occurred. -Maddie  Hi I’m Jared telling you about silk __How to make silk __ 1 Get food for the silk worms 2 Put in a basket with their favorite food 3 keep warm so don’t die 4 Kill them after a couple of months 5 make strands of silk from their cocoons weave into fabric.
