We see China progressing to the condition in which it is discovered today, for as the difference between objective existence and subjective freedom of development in it, is as yet needing, each change is not included, and the fixedness of a character which repeats never-endingly, which given the name genuinely historical.
The unity of substantiality and subjective freedom prohibits the qualification and complexity of the two components, that by this very reality, substance can't touch base at reflection on itself, at subjectivity. The importance in its moral perspective, leads in this manner, not as the moral air of the subject, but rather as the tyranny of the sovereign.
No one has a consistent writers of history as the Chinese. Other asiatic individuals likewise have ancient traditions, yet no history. The Vedas of the Indians are not such. The traditions of the Arabs are extremely old, yet are not appended to a political constitution and its advancement. In any case, such a constitution exists in China, and that in a particular and conspicuous form.
The Chinese traditions climb to 3000 years prior to Christ, and the Shu-King, their canonical record, starting with the legislature of Yao, places this 2357 years before Christ. It might be by chance commented, that the other asiatic kingdoms likewise achieve a high artifact. As indicated by the estimation of an English writer, the Egyptian history scopes to 2207 years before Christ, the Assyrian to 2221, the Indian to 2204.
The traditions regarding the kingdoms of the East reach to around 2300 years before Christ. Contrasting this and the history of the old testament, a space of 2400 years, as indicated by the regular approval, mediated between the Noachian Deluge and the Christian era. Be that as it may, Johannes von Muller has showed profound complaints to this number. He puts the Deluge in the year 3473 before Christ, in this manner around 1000 years sooner, supporting his view by the Septuagint.
The Chinese have certain ancient canonical reports, from which their history, constitution, and religion can be accumulated. The Vedas and the Mosaic records are comparative books, additionally the Homeric lyrics.

This domain attracted the attention of Europeans, albeit just unclear stories about it had contacted them. It was constantly wondered about as a nation which, self-began, seemed to have no association with the external world. In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo investigated it interestingly, however his reports were regarded astounding. In later circumstances, everything that he had said regarding its degree and enormity was totally affirmed.
By the most reduced count, China has 150,000,000 occupants; another makes the number 200,000,000, and the most noteworthy raises it even to 300,000,000. From the far north it extends towards the south to India, on the east it is limited by the tremendous Pacific, and on the west it reaches out towards Persia and the Caspian. China Proper is over-populated. On the two streams, the Hoang-ho and the Yang-tse-Kiang, stay a huge number of people, living on pontoons adjusted to everyone with the necessities of their form of living.

The populace and the completely sorted out state-courses of action, dropping even to the minutest points of interest, have surprised Europeans, and a matter of particular awe is the precision with which their historical works are executed. For in China the Historians are a portion of the most elevated functionaries. Two leaders continually in participation on the Emperor, are charged to keep a diary of everything the Emperor does, orders, and says, and their notes are then worked up and made utilization of by the historians.
Their history rises to exceptionally ancient circumstances, in which Fohi is named as the diffuser of culture, having been the first civilizer of China. He is said to have lived in the twenty-ninth century before Christ, before the time at which the Shu-King starts, however the legendary and prehistorical is dealt with by Chinese Historians as splendidly historical. The principal area of Chinese history is the north-western corner China Proper towards that point where the Hoang-ho plunges from the mountains, for just at a later period did the Chinese domain expand itself towards the south, to the Yang-tse-Kiang.
The story starts with the period in which men lived in a wild state, in the forested areas, when they encouraged on the products of the earth, and dressed themselves with the skins of wild beasts. There was no acknowledgment of distinct laws among them. Fohi attributed the direction of men in building themselves cottages and making abodes.
He is said to have guided their thoughtfulness regarding the change and return of seasons, to deal and exchange, to have set up marriage, to have shown that reason originated from paradise, and to have given directions for raising silkworms, structures, scaffolds, and making utilization of beasts of weight. The advance of the history is the augmentation of the culture along these lines began, toward the south, and the start of a state and a legislature. The colossal Empire which had hence steadily been formed, was soon separated into numerous regions.

It's seems surprising to me how such big empire hasn't conquered small neighbor Korea (no offense to Korea, vice versa)
Thats an interesting question. Lets find out the answer. Hope we can.
China has great history within it
Indeed, as the country with great economic endeavors, its history has a lot to be told.
Wonderful! Fohi is to the Chinese what Vilcabamba is to the Incas and Quetzalcoatl is to the Central Americans. One enlightened person can change the world.
Great. Thanks for the addon

Hi there, how are you?
a great historical post. I am increasing again history of science today. thank you for sharing it.
I have always thought China is probably the richest country in the world, I mean a civilization that old, that has been so organized must have accumulated enormous amounts of wealth throughout it's history. Just that it isn't out there for everyone to see.
Yes it is since almost all manufacturing came from them. They are the trade center in the world.
Wonderful
Thanks
Good day STEEMIAN!
This is all free and opensource information and may be of beneficial use to everyone; all you need to do is upvote all posts of @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer and receive the sharing of the 33 percent of all SBD author rewards on a daily basis, no questions asked.
The @minnowminer program aims to help in the awareness program of the versatile JOULESTEEM circuit, a non-solar non-wind approach to low-power offgrid energy generation by re-distributing and sharing the daily SBD gains of all posts made by @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer.
The JOULESTEEM circuit is reaching a very encouraging milestone (@lightingmacsteem post #51) that enables it to harness non-conventional offgrid power sources (air and ground as a huge capacitor) which is in turn made to charge big capacity batteries. This makes it very much ideal for low-power energy generation no matter the location, no matter the weather, no matter what time of the day.
To be able to fast-track its adoption worldwide and to where it may be needed most, the @minnowminer program is introduced to encourage all STEEMIANS to help and be part of the quick transformation of the JOULESTEEM circuit.
This is maybe the only straight-to-the-point no-questions-asked sharing scheme that will enable each one to earn and learn as a STEEMIAN.
Keep on STEEMING guys!!!
