Whats your apinion about Song Period of ancient China

It is really a pity that barbarian conquer the civilization .

what is the relation between culture and technology ? ?

In my opinion, china's gold ages was in 960—1279 North Song Period and South Song Period . totally existent about 319 years .
For me , that is very glamorous period , it is the brilliant world in the earth in that period of human .
But what a pitty , it was desteoyed by barbarian called mongol ,just as Rome who was destroyed by another barbarian called Teuton , Byzantine Empire destroyed by ottoman , barbarian conquer civilization is the tragdy in human's history . we lost many thing except getting horse manure . And many others example , like egypt, Greece etc .
Is God telling us that there has another thing more important than culture ?
And by the way , do you know a little about song period of ancient China ? If not please dont feel embarrassed for there is only a few of chinese knows but only a little . And what your view ?

maliyana, Western cultures do not study much about ancient China. Our student history books mostly concentrate on the time period in which Europeans arrived in Asia. We study things like the Boxer Rebellion and maybe some history of when the Jesuits arrived. Most American students could not name a single Chinese emperor or dynasty. We mostly learn about the period in which China became a Communist-Fascist state.

Tang dynasty and Song dynasty are great! Personally i like Shang dynasty.

I'm not sure I consider it a pity.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love the opportunity to learn.

I thought that when mongols conquered an area, they did not strip them of their culture. Instead, as long as they were acknowledged as the leader (in that revenues were paid to them), they had little interest in changing the locals way of life.

As the mongols traveled they carried with them parts of cultures already conquered. This resulted more in blendings, more than destruction.

In America, when Europeans came over the land, they dictated to the native people that things would be done the european way, or there would be death. Their lands were literally taken away from them, and they were left to find other places to live.

I thought the mongols, if a city gave in, didn't care that much about killing large numbers of people, just enough to let the rest know they were serious.

The mongols weren't particularly religious, in the sense I understand it, and didn't try to impose what beliefs they did have on others.

Am I wrong in all this?

im a little pissed, mongols are my favorite people.


anyways, the pima people in north america have a direct chromosomal link to mongols.

interesting eh?
small world.

You're in luck, OGIONIK. The Russian film "Mongol, the untold story of the rise of Ghengis Kahn" is having a limited U.S. opening on June 6. It has already had many festival showings. I believe it is very sympathetic toward G.K.
