The Great Wall of China

Hi. Ming Ping again. My next topic is the Great Wall of China. This was an interesting visiting location I went to last week. This was the border of the Chinese Empire. this wall helped because it protected the northern side of the Chinese Empire. The wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Empreror of China, Qin Shi Huang. This wall was made during The Ming Dynasty, named after my name. It took me a whole three days just to walk to the other side of the 5,500 mile wall. It hurts my feet walking on the stone ground.

 

Confucious

Our next topic is Confucious. Date is 479 BC. I saw confucious wandering around town yesterday. I asked him "What are you doing?". Then, he said "I am trying to spread goodness". That was probably the best quote I heard all day because confucious emphasized relationships, justice, and authority. The country would be in harmony if everybody did their duties and jobs. This is the reason why society is held together. What! Iv'e just been informed that confucious died today, and the Han dynasty is created their new government called "Confucianism". It is philisophical, social, and political. Confucious will be an inspiration and spread out goodness throughout the world.

Taoism

Hello everybody.
My name is Ming Ping. I am a citizen of ancient China. My time period right now is 450BCE. My discussion for today is the belief of Taoism.  This belief in the english roots mean "the way or path". I've known for a long time that Taoism was founded by Lao Tzu, a mystic philosopher of my country. I am actually a Taoist myself. It is a succesful and powerful religion in my lifetime. This religion shaped China for 2,000 years. I can't describe about Taoists because it is undefinable. Well thank you for your time
