Although Chinese civilization developed along rivers much like cultures in Mesopotamia and Egypt, the idea of royal power took a completely different direction. Learn how the Mandate of Heaven ruled all in Ancient China.
Early Chinese Geography
The China of 8,000 years ago was a very different place than it is today. Obviously, there were no tablets or TVs or even phones, but even geographically, the land was quite different, as it was just about everywhere. Most importantly, a wide strip of land stretching from Africa to China was much wetter than it is now. For people living in what is now, that meant that there were streams and rivers, making it a lush grassland. However, for people in China, the land between the Yellow (or Huang He) and Yangtze rivers was a gigantic swamp.
Nonetheless, as global climates changed, people in the Sahara Desert got unlucky and had to leave, whereas those living in the swamps of China soon found that the land had become especially fertile. Much like the Nile, floods replenished the land's soil, and while occasionally unpredictable, these river floods were seen more often than not as an asset by the people. Soon, people began to settle in small villages and towns, much like they did elsewhere in the world, and grew rice and wheat. Also, they produced pottery and had specialized jobs, much like other early civilizations. How they differed from these early cultures is what makes early China so interesting.
