China is home to land extremes it has cold regions and hot regions throughout this Country. China is very strange when it comes to its geography because it has the tallest mountain range in the world to the lowest desserts in the world!! China is the most populated country in the world today and i bet there was a lot in the medieval time too with all the trade. China has the longest river in the country (3,450miles) which is the Yangzi river. Most of china's farming takes place in the North china plain. The 2 largest cities are in china which are Beijing and Shanghai. The great wall of china is a very important historical place and was started in the middle ages and most of the great wall has been rebuilt many times to keep it the way it is today.

There are 3 major religions in china, they are Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism which is pronounced "Dow-ism". The founder and leader of Confucianism is Confucius but his real name is Kung Fu Zi, the Europeans called him by Confucius. This is personally my favorite belief because it focuses on proper conduct, respect, morality, hard work, and education. This belief believes that if you demonstrate loyalty, honesty, faithfulness, and obedience in relationships you will live in ''harmony". All rulers must have reasonable morals. This religion "Confucianism" focuses on living on earth at the best. Confucianism is all about being respectful and being nice. There famous quote is ''do unto others as you would want others to do unto you". Buddhism is the next religion, there all about the 4 noble truths and the 8 folded path. They believe that life is full of suffering. Respect is there main thing. The founder of this religion is prince Gautama of India. The original Buddha was not fat it was skinny like in this photo to the left. People believe that the Buddha was fat to eat your suffering. The next religion is Taoism it is pronounced Dow-ism. This emphasizes a very simple life. People should not strive for fame they should strive for joy and happiness. You should worship nature in this belief. This religion acts just like Winne the pooh. There famous motto is "keep it simple" "just be".
