    About the same time that Gautama was starting Buddhism(佛教)in India, a man in China, a great wise man named Confucius, was teaching the people of China what they ought to do and what they ought not to do. 36

    Confucius taught that people should be loyal and obey their kings and also that rulers had a duty to take care of their people. He believed that this would bring peace and harmony in China. 37   This sounds something like one of the Ten Commandments： "Honor your father and your mother.”

    Confucius also taught the Golden Rule, the same Golden Rule that you are taught today, only instead of saying,“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”he said,Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.

    38 Maybe you remember the name of the river that was the cradle of Chinese civilization. It was the Huang River, or Yellow River, that overflowed with thick yellow mud. This mud fertilized the soil where people grew their crops. People settled first along the Huang and then also along the Yangtze River, also called the Long River.

    China is very far away from all the other places. It was isolated from the rest of the ancient world. The Himalaya Mountains lie to the west and the Gobi Desert to the north. On the south are more mountains and seas. On the east lies the great Pacific Ocean that stretches all the way to the west coast of the United States. In the days before large sailing ships and way before airplanes, the Chinese had very little contact with any other people. 39

    We know the Chinese had a written language as early as 1500 B. C. at a time when the Shang Dynasty ruled northern China. 40  The Chinese never switched(转变)to an alphabet but continue to use characters.-a different character for each word. It must be very hard to learn to read and write Chinese.

    A. China had one of the earliest civilizations in the world.

    B. His teachings filled several books and formed what came to be a way of life for the Chinese and many other people in Asia.

    C. By 600 A. D. the Chinese had invented printing and used printing presses.

    D. So Chinese culture developed all by itself.

    E. The Chinese were first to discover how to make explosive powder,the kind that we use both for gunpowder and for fireworks.

    F. He taught people to obey their parents and teachers and to honor their ancestors.

    G. You can see that Chinese writing is still very different from the writing in any other country.
