1. Confucianism focuses on proper behavior in a society. On one side it promotes hierarchal relationships through power and obedience between ruler and subject, parents and child, husband and wife, teacher/student, employer/employee, etc., on the other side it promotes egalitarian (equality) society. Explain how the book describes this.

2. What is one thing you learned about the Shang that you found interesting? How would you explain what you learned to a friend?

3. What is Legalism? How does Legalism contradict the ideas of Confucianism and Daoism? How did the Art of War emphasize intelligence over brute warfare?

4. Why does the author Charles Holcombe (your textbook) argue that the Qin were the “First Empire”. What were some things that they did that established this dynasty as an Empire? What were some memorable achievements of the Qin? Why did they fall so quickly?
