The majority of people in ancient China were peasant farmers, merchants, and craft workers. The Chinese are credited with many important inventions, including the iron plow and magnetic compass. They also developed materials, such as silk and paper. Focusing mainly on the Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties, this book explores ancient China through its social structure.
