Confucius was a great Chinese teacher, who lived about 500 BC.
In later times, his teaching became a religion, but what he really taught was how to live in a civilized way.
Confucianism was mostly about life on Earth. Confucianism is a Chinese way of thought which teaches that one should be loyal to one's family, friends, and rulers and treat others as one would like to be treated. Confucianism was developed from the ideas of Confucius.

The Great Wall of China is the largest building in the world. It is over 2,000 km long, 9 meters high and up to 5 meters wide. The wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.
It was built to stop nomadic tribes in the north raiding China’s rich cities and villages. Thousands of ordinary people were forced to work on it. Many died in accidents or from disease or overwork.

The first Qin emperor, Shihuangdi was a harsh and powerful ruler who tried
to take his power beyond the grave. Nearly 10,000 soldiers with their weapons and horses guarded his tomb near the Qin capital, Xi’an. But these were not real soldiers. They were life-size models made of baked clay
(terracotta). In an amazing discovery, archaeologists found the emperor’s
tomb and his hidden army in 1974.
