The family in china was very centeral and in china the eldest son is in charge of the families big decisions and of all of the families properties. The women on the other hand are very diffrent they were very strick on obeying there fathers and of the husbands and later on in life as there kids got older there children. When the women were around 13 or 16 the parents more so the fathers got to arrange there marriage they were and still are allowed very few kids 2 to be exact, that is why there population is so low and is getting smaller.

They were very strong linked to there religion the chinese believed in the spirits of there family ancestors and that they had to bring good fortune to them they used Oracle Bones for some of the rituals to recieve these gifts from there loved ancestors

They created a system/ritual called Mandate in Heaven, which is if you may need answers they you ask god for the approval they have now used and made it so that it can be used by parents/elders so that it is now a rule and or instruction that is given to you and to get that approval and to listen tot he answer and to do it.

**Events:**

They had a leader a royal family they had Feudalism which is a system to find the royal family at the time it is needed,as well as a Dynastic Cycle, which is a pattern of rise, decline and replacements for if it was needed for royal needs or any other positions they may need it for rather it school, work etc.

They created so many rules and things that they did such as the Mandate in Heaven for parents/elders the Dynastic cycle that I also listened above, and the Feudalism. They did have a ruler/empire.

Many things today have changed and yet many things are still used today for them.

When they came to china and ever since they started there cities they developed an interesting method of writing they use characters instead of letters, they don't even use numbers everything is characters, they had to know over 1,500 characters for barely know any literature, now to be a true scholar you needed to know over 10,000 characters, leaders and rulers needed to know way more than that but children did not until way older into adult hood.
