Throughout my years of taking numerous of history courses, I always had questions inrefernce to what was occuring in China as we were evolving into America and even prior too colonization . Expolring the different musuems and analyzing their artifacts answered the questions that even our AP textbooks didn’t even go to the extent of informing me . I have done research on the Chinese history and culture but reading something online is no where near the same as expierencing the museums for myself. The museums gave me insight directly from the source . I learned the the importance of chinese history was much more than what they were able to contribute in the silk road. It is evident that Chinese history has and always will be influncental to their present day even through their calligraphy and tradtional tea ceremonies . Another essential point of their history is the fact that even today throughout westernization they keep their tradtion alive.
