Zheng He-1405 A.D.
Dear Blog,
It is 1405 Zheng He, the explorer, has been traveling to the coasts of southeast Asia and India. He has also traveled to the many ports in East Africa. Throughout his journeys the Chinese merchants have begun to settle in Southeast Asia and India. His voyages show local rulers the strength and power of China’s empire.

Mongols Take China-1162 A.D.
Dear Blog,
Currently it is 1162 A.D. and the Mongols are invading China. The Mongols brought strict military rule along with their very strong army. They are also known for having the best horseman in the world. I sure hope that the Great Wall will be helpful with this invasion.

Tang Dynasty-618 A.D.
Dear Blog,
Its 618 A.D. and the Tang Dynasty has just emerged along with their first emperor, Li Yuan. The Tang dynasty took over after the Sui dynasty collapsed. Hopefully the Tang dynasty will last longer then the Sui dynasty, seems like they just can’t stay together for a long time.

Sung Dynasty-960 A.D.
Dear Blog,
I am in 960 A.D.and Zhao Kuangyin just recently brought China together and founded the Sung dynasty. They own less territory then the Tang dynasty though. Also it seems like the North keeps threatening the Sung dynasty.

Han Dynasty-141 B.C.
Dear Blog,
Its 141 B.C. and the Han dynasty has been ruling China since 202 B.C. But a new leader, Wudi, is now the Han emperor. He has helped strengthen the government and economy. But before Wudi, the Han dynasty had an earlier emperor that created the foundation for the Han Dynasty.
