You will also be provided with a list of 20 place names from selected from the list below. Your job will be to place those names upon that map in the right spot. You will find these locations on the following maps in your readings:Kuhn, 109; Elliott 15, 87; Naughton 23(provinces) & 24 (rivers & cities); Schoppa 56, 99 Qing Territories: Tibet Xinjiang Manchuria (Today China’s 3 North East provinces)Inner Mongolia (today an Autonomous Region) and Outer Mongolia (today’s Mongolia) China proper (the provinces during the Qing…don’t need to know all names, just general area)Provinces you DO need to identify: Fujian Guangdong Sichuan Jiangsu Shandong YunnanCities of China: Macao Canton/Guangzhou Nanjing Chongqing Shanghai FuzhouHong Kong Beijing Yan’an Shenzhen Amoy/Xiamen Xi’anRivers: Yellow Yangzi Pearl Yalu (between China and Korea)OUTSIDE OF CHINA:Vietnam Hanoi Manila Philippines Singapore MalayaJava Sumatra Ryukyus (Ryokyo) N. Korea S. Korea MongoliaJapan Inside or outside China? Who knows. Still they have a clear location on the map: Taiwan Senkaku/ Diaoyutai Note: Note Shenzhen, Guangzhou/Canton, Macao and Hong Kong are all really close together and if you put them all in the approximate same place that is fine. Dynasty IDs: 4 dynasty names will appear, you must ID 2. 5 points each. 10 totalYou will need to be able to identify these dynasties: Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing. For these dynasty IDs you will have to provide the following for full credit:The approximate dates/centuries of dynasty (specific years/decades not expected)The general territorial extent of each dynastyThe ethnic/territorial backgrounds of the rulers. (The Han, Song, and Ming were Han Chinese; the Yuan were Mongols; the Qing were Manchu. The Tang were mixed Han and Turkic.)In addition to these three basic pieces of information you will need to describe three significant aspects of each dynasty (most of which for the purposes of our course have to do with foreign relations, wars, conquests, trade, territorial extent, ethnic diversity, major events that occurred during the dynasty, or major cultural trends).Other IDS (from the list below) 15 ID terms will appear; you must answer 6. 5 points each 30 TotalRegarding terms and events, again, exact dates are not necessary but having a general sense of when the events occurred, when a particular person was alive, and the basic order of events is expected. Let’s take the Macartney embassy as an example: In terms of what you should know in your head about chronology and how events are connected: You should know that the Macartney embassy happened around 1800, about a generation (40 or 50 years) before the opium war; that Macartney was trying get the Qing (Qianlong was the emperor) to change the Canton trade system (British trade had been centered in Canton for over acentury, and formally confined there for decades); that the kowtow was a controversial issue in this mission; and that Qianlong refused to open new ports to trade. This info does not necessarilyhave to be listed this way in your answer, but you should know it for IDs or short essays.As far as an actual answer to the ID question, the following would get you full credit. Embassy sent by the British Government around 1800 to get the Qing to revise the Canton trade system by opening up more ports for British trade and accepting a permanent ambassador. Therewas great controversy over whether Macartney would kowtow (he knelt), and over other differences in diplomatic customs between the West and the Qing. Qianlong refused all Macartney’s requests, saying the Qing had everything it needed. You could certainly include other information and leave out some of the above info and get full credit as well. You could not leave out the basic point of the request (open more ports for trade), the famous controversy involved (the kowtow), the result (Qing refused), or the general time period, and get FULL credit.

You will have to answer 2 of them.1. China is BIG. As we have seen already this semester, and as we will see moving forward, events and phenomena (like increased foreign trade and overseas migration) can affect regions within China very differently. It is often useful to use the idea of macroregions todeal with such issues (just as in US politics and economics we often talk about the South, the Midwest or the Northeast). Write an essay where you describe how 3 major historical events or trends that we have discussed in class or read about affected specific macroregions in China in specific ways. 2. One reason we have been looking at history in this class has been to help us put some of China’s 20th century and contemporary geo-political conflicts and tensions into historical
