HISTORY INDEX Country Ranks Introduction History ... [TOP] Philippines Chinese and Chinese Mestizos http://workmall.com/wfb2001/philippines/philippines_history_chinese_and_chinese_mestizos.html Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies < BACK TO HISTORY CONTENTS In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, deep-seated Spanish suspicion of the Chinese gave way to recognition of their potentially constructive role in economic development. Chinese expulsion orders issued in 1755 and 1766 were repealed in 1788. Nevertheless, the Chinese remained concentrated in towns around Manila, particularly Binondo and Santa Cruz. In 1839 the government issued a decree granting them freedom of occupation and residence. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, immigration into the archipelago, largely from the maritime province of Fujian on the southeastern coast of China, increased, and a growing proportion of Chinese settled in outlying areas. In 1849 more than 90 percent of the approximately 6,000 Chinese lived in or around Manila, whereas in 1886 this proportion decreased to 77 percent of the 66,000 Chinese in the Philippines at that time, declining still further in the 1890s. The Chinese presence in the hinterland went hand in hand with the transformation of the insular economy. Spanish policy encouraged immigrants to become agricultural laborers. Some became gardeners, supplying vegetables to the towns, but most shunned the fields and set themselves up as small retailers and moneylenders. The Chinese soon gained a central position in the cash-crop economy on the provincial and local levels.

HISTORY INDEX Country Ranks Introduction History ... [TOP] China The Chinese Regain Power http://workmall.com/wfb2001/china/china_history_the_chinese_regain_power.html Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies < BACK TO HISTORY CONTENTS Rivalry among the Mongol imperial heirs, natural disasters, and numerous peasant uprisings led to the collapse of the Yuan dynasty. The Ming dynasty (1368-1644) was founded by a Han Chinese peasant and former Buddhist monk turned rebel army leader. Having its capital first at Nanjing (which means Southern Capital) and later at Beijing (Northern Capital), the Ming reached the zenith of power during the first quarter of the fifteenth century. The Chinese armies reconquered Annam, as northern Vietnam was then known, in Southeast Asia and kept back the Mongols, while the Chinese fleet sailed the China seas and the Indian Ocean, cruising as far as the east coast of Africa. The maritime Asian nations sent envoys with tribute for the Chinese emperor. Internally, the Grand Canal was expanded to its farthest limits and proved to be a stimulus to domestic trade. The Ming maritime expeditions stopped rather suddenly after 1433, the date of the last voyage. Historians have given as one of the reasons the great expense of large-scale expeditions at a time of preoccupation with northern defenses against the Mongols. Opposition at court also may have been a contributing factor, as conservative officials found the concept of expansion and commercial ventures alien to Chinese ideas of government. Pressure from the powerful Neo-Confucian bureaucracy led to a revival of strict agrarian-centered society. The stability of the Ming dynasty, which was without major disruptions of the population (then around 100 million), economy, arts, society, or politics, promoted a belief among the Chinese that they had achieved the most satisfactory civilization on earth and that nothing foreign was needed or welcome.

Up [ Geography ] History The Korean War Travel Info The Korean People The Korean people, whose ancestors originated in northeastern Asia, have developed into a highly homogeneous ethnic group - the populations of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) are almost entirely composed of one ethno-linguistic group - Koreans. Aside from a very small population of Chinese (who have largely learned to speak and "act" Korean) there is essentially no other ethnic group in the country, a fact which has had a major impact on the Korean view of the world. Ethnically Koreans have evolved from the Mongolian cultural heartland and were at one time, like the other Mongolian tribes, expert mounted horsemen who fought with bow and arrow. As the Korean tribes migrated into the confined Korean peninsula, where the mountainous terrain did not favor mounted warfare and hunting, it became necessary to develop settled agriculture - especially the cultivation of rice in the South - which further differentiated the early Koreans from the Khitan, the Manchu and the other still nomadic Mongol bands. Koreans have been called one of the hardest working peoples in the world; it is sometimes said that Koreans consider the Japanese to be the "lazy Asians". In spite of the events of the past century (which have included the killing of the Queen of Korea by a foreign power followed by a 35-year military occupation and cultural domination, one of the worst civil wars in history, and poverty ranking among the worst in the world) Koreans have not sacrificed their traditional traits of generosity and warmth. Visitors - particularly those who venture out of Seoul - often remark that Koreans are among the friendliest people they have met anywhere.

72. The Geography Of The Silk Road Article by Ray Gonzales on the importance of the Silk Road.Category Kids and Teens School Time Ancient History China...... With the revival of Islam in the west and chinese nationalism in the east, the factorcontributing to the decline of trade along the Silk Road was geography. http://www.humboldt.edu/~geog309i/ideas/raysilk.html

The Geography of the Silk Road by Ray Gonzales Historians look back at the events of the past and use them as a tool for analyzing the state of the world today. Civilizations have dealt with numerous problems concerning their environment, natural resources, and other civilizations. For centuries, people have either dealt with outside pressures and survived, or perished under its weight. Civilizations that flourish despite great odds are studied and used as case studies for how we should deal with problems of the present day. The civilizations that developed in China and Mesopotamia are perfect examples of how people dealt with other cultures. There was a time when the two lived in complete ignorance of each other, separated by a vast and hostile wasteland known as Central Asia. Eventually, the civilizations of Western Asia and China would come in contact by way of an overland trade route known as The Silk Road. This article takes a historical outlook on this ancient route from its birth before Christ to its lingering legacy in this present day. The inevitable encounter between East and West some 2000 years ago provides us with a guide for dealing with twentieth century effects of globalized economy, culture, race, and nationality. The vast amount of ideas and information that we encounter over the world wide web is not unlike the vast amount of ideas and information encountered on the Silk Road somewhere between China and the west. Within Central Asia lies one of the most inhospitable deserts in the world. Here, there are little or no natural resources. In a land with little water, there is equally little vegetation or wildlife. Sand storms whip the sandy surface of this region burying anything in its path. This is the Taklimakan dessert, but local people call it "the Land of Death", or "the Land of Irrevocable Death". Such people rarely intruded into the interiors of the Taklimakan dessert. Instead they stuck to the path of the Silk Road and other routes which skirted the edges of the dessert. The Taklimakan has for centuries acted as a natural barrier between the East and West, however, it was not the only thing preventing contact.

THE INFLUENCES OF GEOGRAPHY ON CONTEMPORARY CHINESE LIFE WRITING SKILLS ASSESSMENT PROJECT John L. Student HIS 372, Revolutionary Movements in Modern China Lee a. Makela January 29, 2001 THE INFLUENCES OF GEOGRAPHY ON CONTEMPORARY CHINESE LIFE The impact of geography on the development of cultural variations in that area of the globe now considered part of the "Peoples Republic of China" has been enormous. Even today, evidence of humanity's adaptation to the widely varying climatic and geographical conditions found within "China" continues to be reflected in Chinese culture, cuisine and patterns of economic development Some peripheral areas the lush and mountainous southwest, for example, and the high and dry steppe areas in the north and west have yet to be fully incorporated into the cultural mainstream . Instead even today these geographically-defined areas are home to "national minorities" allowed by the authorities in Beijing to govern themselves, a recognition of the cultural diversity present as a consequence of local adaptations to dramatically different geophysical settings. The Nei Monggol Autonomous Region in the northeast allows the horse-riding Mongol nomads of this area a large degree of self-government in recognition of the difficulty of applying sedentary political expectations to such a mobile group of pastoral herders. In Yunnan in the distant southwest some eight different autonomous prefectures exist, testimony to the wide diversity introduced to this region due to the mountainous local terrain.

Site Map Geography Historical Map of Tibet V: Chinese Administrative Control of Eastern Tibet, [CA 1995] The administrative landscape of eastern Tibet today has taken on a vastly different look from traditional Tibet. China's new administrative landscape has limited the size and number of areas in Kham and Amdo recognized as Tibet lands by the designation of so-called Tibetan autonomous prefectures and counties. This balkanization of the areas traditionally inhabited by the Tibetan peoples and civilization extents even beyond the level of province and prefecture. Numerous Tibetan autonomous townships may be found within Chinese counties east of aforementioned autonomous areas in Gansu and Sichuan, mostly notably Mutso, Shonphing and Poan identify the Tibetan people among several non-Tibetan ethnic designations. This new state-sanctioned landscape is, in turn a product of state nationalities program of the People's Republic of China and its inherent bias towards the fragmentation of the Chinese peoples.
