The first settlements in China were made around an important river route represented by the Yellow River, due to the need to make the most of the hydraulic resources that would allow them to obtain better agricultural benefits. The settlers lived in wooden houses and were engaged in cultivation, hunting and fishing. One of the first Chinese civilizations was that of the "Hia" dynasty which exercised its power from the year 2737 BC.
From the year 1525, China was ruled by the Chang dynasty, during that time the people who inhabited these settlements began to protect them by making earth walls. The population became more and more extensive, under the command of strong rulers. The rulers transferred power to their children or their brothers. Being the Chang dynasty the first to leave historical evidence of its existence.
During this time the Chinese learned to work with bronze, being able to make weapons, tools and containers. However, during the rule of the Chang dynasty, China had not yet entered modernity, its inhabitants were still in the stone age, and they had to submit to the owners of the land they worked and these in turn had to obey the king.
Society was divided between a rich class that lived in the cities practiced hunting and war and a poor class, made up of peasants. After the Chang dynasty, the Chu dynasty came in 1050 BC, it was liberated by wu-wang, who established rigid moral and conduct standards, always linked to respect for history and traditions.
Wu-wang, rewarded the men with lands, who began to rule them, this led to the splitting of political authority. Then powerful states emerged, one of them was that of Tsin, which managed to dominate the rest, the ruler Cheng claiming power, who later agreed to bear the name of Chi Huang-Ti, thus initiating a new dynasty. This emperor divided the territory into governorates under the command of leaders, subject to his authority, and carried out important public works that included palaces, buildings, bridges and canals.
One of the great works of this dynasty was the Great Wall of China, which was built to defend against the strong attacks of the barbarians from the north.
The Chinese dialect, which is written through characters, was transformed during this dynasty into characters of small stamps, which are still valid today.
From primitive China the doctrines of the teacher Confucius are still preserved, who was the one who established the bases of the rules of conduct that included obedience, loyalty and respect as rules of life.
