Production of food increased and China’s population grew quickly.  \n° Tributes: An arrangement to gain income in which other states had to pay money or provide goods to honor the Chinese emperor.  \nSocial Structures in China  \n°  \ngentry,aristocrats, wealthy landowners, civil service  \nmerchants  \n° The Song government provided aid to the poor and established public hospitals where people could receive care.  \n° It was expected that women would defer to men, seen in the constraint of foot binding.  \nReligious Diversity in China  \n° Buddhism had come to China from its birthplace in India via the Silk Roads.  \no Three forms of Buddhism from India came to shape Asia, each developing a different emphasis: Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism  \no Followed the Four Noble Truth and the Eightfold Path  \n° Neo-Confucianism evolved in China between 770 and 840. It was a syncretic system, combining rational thought with the more abstract ideas of Daoism and Buddhism.  \nJAPAN  \nFeudalism  \n° For hundreds of years, Japan had been a feudal society without a centralized government.° Landowning aristocrats, the daimyo, battled for control of the land, while the majority of  \npeople worked as rice farmers.  \nGovernment  \n° In 1192, the Minamoto installed a shogun, or military ruler, to reign. For the following four centuries, Japan suffered from regional rivalries among aristocrats.  \n° Not until the l7th century would shoguns create a strong central government that unified the country.  \nKOREA  \nConnection to China  \n° Korea’s location gave it a very direct relationship with China and had a tributary relationship.  \n° It centralized its government in the style of the Chinese.  \n° Culturally, Koreans adopted both Confucian and Buddhist beliefs.  \nAristocracy  \n° Unlike with China, Koreans maintained a more powerful landed aristocracy that would not allow for the same amount of social mobility  \nVIETNAM  \nSocial Structures  \n° Vietnamese women enjoyed greater independence in their married lives than did Chinese  \nwomen in the Confucian tradition.  \n° Vietnamese preferred nuclear families, in which the father, mother and their children live in one household.  \n° Vietnamese villages operated independently of a national government; political centralization was nonexistent.  \n° They adopted a merit-based bureaucracy of educated men, but instead of pledging loyalty to the emperor, officials in Vietnam owed more allegiance to the village peasants.  \nTOPIC 1.2 Developments in Dar al-Islam from c. 1200 to c. 1450  \nInnovations  \n° Advances in mathematics: Nasir al-Din al-Tusi laid the groundwork for making trigonometry a separate subject.  \n° Advances in literature: ‘A’ishah al-Ba’uniyyah may be the most prolific female Muslim writer before the 20th century. Many of her works describe her journey toward mystical illumination.  \n° Advances in me","cbCaibsfskrippWB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibsfskrippWB","pdf",1305182,64,"English","# Unit 1: The Global Tapestry\n## Topic 1.1 Developments in East Asia from c. 1200 to c. 1450\n## Topic 1.2 Developments in Dar al-Islam from c. 1200 to c. 1450\n## Topic 1.3 Developments in South and Southeast Asia from c. 1200 to c. 1450","[{\"question\":\"What time period and test weight does Unit 1 cover?\",\"answer\":\"Unit 1 covers approximately c. 1200 to c. 1450, and it is noted as about 8%–10% of the AP test.\"},{\"question\":\"What are major Song Dynasty significance points in China?\",\"answer\":\"The guide highlights wealth and political stability, manufacturing and commercialization, expansion of bureaucracy through meritocracy, increased social mobility, and the spread of Buddhism and Confucianism.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of developments are covered under Dar al-Islam and Spain?\",\"answer\":\"It covers innovations in mathematics, literature, and medicine; changes in social structures such as the status of merchants and women; and transfers including the House of Wisdom and commentary work, followed by Islamic rule in Spain starting in 711.\"}]","AP World History Study Guide - Unit 1: The Global Tapestry | PDF",1789894148,161]
