Here we are, week 14 of the semester. It is crazy to think about how much we have all learned during this time. Back in August, I had very minimal knowledge about Chinese history and now I have expanded my knowledge more than I thought I would. The nice part about this course is that … Read moreThe Grand Reflection

So, … Read moreSocial Status of Artisans in Ancient China
