Me: Hi Hayley!
ReplyDeleteHayley: Hi Syd!
Me:Hayley, I want to ask you some questions, what dynasty had social class pyramids?
Hayley: Zhou dynasty did.
Me: Yes! Okay, what about which dynasty had Legalism?
Hayley: Qin dynasty! They wanted to obey rulers out of fear.
Me: Good job! What about, which dynasty had standardization?
Hayley: Qin again? It helped their communication better you know.
Me: Yah, I knew too! Qin again. What about the bronze age?
Hayley: Ooh... Shang?
Me: Don't worry you're getting a 100 so far! Which dynasty had bronze age? You know, with BRONZE tools?
Hayley: Shang again. I know they didn't want to use bones or branches anymore, but another tool is oracle bones, the shang used those for predicting things.
Me: Wow! I didn't even have to tell you! Okay, what about the dynasty with Golden Age?
Hayley: Zhou, their leader was King Wu and claimed victory for Zhou, plus Zhou was the longest dynasty, 800 YEARS!
Me: Right again! Which dynasty had their leader shoot himself? (Like he would stay alive forever, he just made things worse).
Hayley: Shi Huangdi was the leader who shot himself in Qin dynasty, his son replaced him, a weak one he was.
Me: I agree. Right. 2 more questions, which dynasty had the silk road, very treacherous journey.
Hayley: Han, pronounced (h-o-n). They built this road for trading silk across to other countries, EXTREMELY important. It was enormous for a path.
Me:Yes! 1 more! Which dynasty was building, mainly, Great Wall of China?
Hayley: Qin dynasty! :)
Me: Yes! See you Hayley! Thanks for chatting!
Hayley: You're welcome! :)
