The Great Wall's Ancient Origins

In 221 BCE, Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi ordered the construction of a massive wall to protect his empire from nomadic invasions. This initial version was made of rammed earth and wood. The wall was continuously expanded and fortified by successive dynasties, eventually stretching over 13,000 miles.

The Terracotta Army's Incredible Discovery

In 1974, a group of peasants stumbled upon an underground tomb near Xi'an that housed over 8,000 life-sized terracotta soldiers. Each soldier is unique with distinct facial features and clothing reflecting their rank. The army is believed to have been created to protect the first emperor in the afterlife.

Peking Opera's Rich Legacy

Dating back to the early Qing dynasty (1644-1912), Peking Opera combines music, singing, acrobatics, martial arts, and dance. Its origins can be traced back to Beijing's royal court where actors were trained as part of imperial service. Today it remains an integral part of Chinese cultural heritage.

The Silk Road: A Network for Cultural Exchange

Established during Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), this ancient network connected China with Central Asia and Europe through trade routes along which silk was just one commodity among many exchanged goods like spices, precious stones, tea leaves etc., played a significant role in shaping both cultures' history.

Jade Culture: Symbolizing Power & Good Fortune

Jade has been prized for its beauty since Neolithic times when it symbolized power and good fortune for rulers who wore jade jewelry or carried jade objects into battle. It also represented immortality because only those who lived forever could own such durable items that did not decay or tarnish easily like metal or wood would do so under harsh weather conditions.
