What were some famous inventions, technologies developed by the Chinese? What were the Shang and Chou Dynasties? What were Oracle Bones? Why were they important in China later? Who was Confucius? Why was he important to Asian culture later? What are some other major Chinese philosophical systems that developed in Ancient China?
