With these great resources and lands China were able to grow into one of the world¯s longest lasting historical nation. For China to maintain in current level of power 13 or more times the ruling dynasties were changed. Through all of them there are four dynasties that effected China in every aspect of the life currently, those dynasties are Qin, Han, Tang, Yuan, and Qing.

The Manchus continued the Confucian civil service system. Although Chinese were rejected from the highest offices, Chinese officials predominated over Manchu officeholders outside the capital, except in military positions. The Neo-Confucian philosophy was enforced as the state creed. The Manchu emperors also supported Chinese literary and historical projects; the survival of much of China's ancient literature is because of these projects.

The Tang dynasty was a dynasty started by the peasants, this is because the Sui dynasty was a dynasty full of hatred, assassination, disloyalty, popular revolts and great amount of constructions, including the overstrained completion of the Grand Canal and the reconstruction of the Great wall. For these undertaking construction projects, Sui dynasty demanded extra amount of taxes on the people, which was the reason for the rebellions from the peasants. Among these peasants one man named Li Shi Min have later became the first king of the Tang dynasty. From this fact we can see that through out the history of China, which includes to now, China do the peasant groups mostly start country. Since the land formation of China is so huge, a lot of the areas are formed with farmers. So every time when the dynasty comes to a time with extreme difficulties, one of the peasant leaders will start a rebellion, and always the leaders will self claim the king or even the president. For example when rural poverty spread during the 19th and early 20th centuries, many poor and middle class peasants were attracted to political movements that promised changes and the breakup of large landholdings. The programs of Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, and the Nationalist party were intended to improve the people's livelihood, but much of their political support came from landlords. Therefore, it was difficult for the Nationalists to start an affective land reform. Because of this the country was getting poor, more and more peasants were suffering, this is when the ideal of the Chinese Communist party came in. Chinese Communist party, which had no such, ties to landlords. At first the party attempted to focus its attention on urban workers, but it made little progress. One young Communist organizer, Mao Zedong (also Mao Tse-tung) urged that the party concentrate its efforts on the peasantry, and eventually this strategy proved successful. The Communists gained power in China partly because of the bad rural conditions that existed there. And when the fight between Communist and Nationalist finally ended, Mao Zedong self claimed himself the president of People¯s Republic of China. Mao Zedong who is from a peasant group can be simply compared with Li Shi Min of the Tang dynasty and Zhu Yuan Jhang of the Ming.

The next influential dynasty, might be the most well known dynasty of China to the westerners, is the Yuan Dynasty. This dynasty is one of the two dynasty ruled by a foreigner. The rulers of the Yuan were Mongolians, by this time due to amazing armies of Genghis Khan (1167-1227); Mongols were able to subjugate north China, Korea, and the Muslim kingdoms of Central As
