Before Christ was born in the time of the Han dynasty iron, fishing, religions, the first trade routes, literature, silk, writing, poetry, canals were the inventions, discovery’s, and ideas discovered and thought of before Christ was born. Animals were also domesticated into working animals. For example silk worms were domesticated in the Neolithic Dynasty of China. Silk worms were domesticated so people could get silk for lavish linens and clothing. In Chinese history there was a lot of corruption of government going on in China, for instance how many dynasties and emperors were overthrown. Throughout all of Chinese history the Chinese were constantly improving their storage of food supplies. Many dynasties worked on building extra food storage all throughout the nation so that people would not starve from a famine.
