Today we are reviewing a large amount of history with "expert groups." Each group has been asked to summarizes what they have read in two ways. Make point notes, and summary to the blog.
The blog summaries are posted here in comments. Each student must comment on at least two of the "other summaries" The comments will be done at the end of class or as homework.

ReplyDelete- Many new ideas came from China! (taxation, governing, and religions ideas)
- Nara was built like the Chines city Chang: Like a rectangle.
- Prince Ahotoku (died 607) built the oldest remaining building in the world, Horyuii Temple.
- Taiho code (was established in 702) was a chinese system of taxation and a code of law.
-Buddhist was strong in the Nara period.
-Buddhist monks had control over the government and people didn't like that.
-The Japanese suffered smallpox and measles epidemics.
-Rulers managed to build many fine temples and create beautiful art to honour the Buddha.
The capital was moved from Nara to Kyoto to get away from the monks.

DeleteToo Bad the title is missing! Nice clear summary. You got all the main points. Did the end of the Nara Period signify the end of Japan's Infatuations with China? If so how can you tell?
DeleteI think this summary is very nice. It is very quick and concise. It's also appreciated that you put dates on some of the happenings, it added some understanding to your topic.
DeleteThis was a good well thought out summery. I liked the detail and the format. - philip
DeleteI wondering why the people didn't like that the Buddhist monks had control over the government? (I wasn't here when we did this so I'm interested as to why)

DeleteHow did the Shinto followers initially feel about this new religion? What what was so attractive about Buddhism? When the Sun Line declared that they would follow the great sun line they also embraced many other parts of Chinese culture. They even sent Japanese "experts" to learn more about Chinese Culture.
DeleteThe Shinto followers were initially skeptical of this new religion but the thought of a life after death was attractive to them.
DeleteI think you got a lot of information, but there is still a bit missing though. I would like to know a bit about how the religion spread and who spread the religion.
DeleteThat was very interesting l liked that you guys put it in point form and i learned a lot of stuff.
DeleteI agree
Deletethis is very interesting :)
DeleteThe samurai class was born as the Heian capital grew weaker. The samurai were skilled archers and swordsmen who worked for the powerful lords who were taking over Japan's land. One mistake the imperial palace and nobles made was that they became obsessed with delicacy and refinement while the provintial lords were forming their own powerful armies. The two most powerful clans in Japan were the Taira and the Minamoto. They were fighting over total power over Japan. The emperors abdicated their thrones and the nobles hired samurai to protect them. The Taira were the victors but the Menamoto struck back powerfully 10 years later. The Taira family drowned themselves so they couldn't get captured.
ReplyDeleteYour summary is very clear and succinct. I like how you say," one mistake the imperial palace and nobles made was that they became obsessed with delicacy and refinement." The rest of the sentence is a little awkward. How could you rewrite that?
DeleteThat is very interesting, I liked the detail.
Delete- Philip
I never knew that the Samurai were also skilled archers!
DeleteI have always been very interested in Samurai and I think you did a great jobs explaining it. Now I know the details of where, when and why.
DeleteI also know that Samurai were skilled archers. I always thought of the as warriors with long swords.

DeleteEarly Days of the Rising Sun
ReplyDeleteThe Jomon were people who came from South China around 9500 B.C.E. They were hunter gathers. They arrived around 9500 B.C.E. from South China and the South Pacific. The Ainu came from the Amur River, and are known today as Japan's Aboriginal peoples. The Ainu came from the Amur River and later settled in Hokkaido. The Yayoi came to Japan as new people and joined the Jomon's, they were from North Korea. The Yayoi brought food to Japan. In 100 B.C.E./300 C.E. the Yamato family were rulers.
What kind of food did the Yayoi peoples bring from Korea? What other influences did they bring?
DeleteThat is very detailed, I found it interesting.
DeleteHow did the people travel to Japan?
DeleteI learned that the Jomon were people who came from South china and that they were hunters and gathers.
DeleteGood Job Mr. White, Mattias, Brendan and Bowen "Schmeh" Hobal.
DeleteThe Yayoi brought rice from Korea.

4-So What- The leadership was bad
By: Liam,Jake,Clara,Jenna
What was the result of the Fufiwara Family having all the power? Why was their leadership bad? What did the wealthy landowners do? How did the peasants feel?
DeleteThis was totally the best one, the people who made this deserve a Trophy.
DeleteThe Peasants probably felt Peasenty
DeleteWhat was bad about one family having main power?
DeleteThis looks good so far, but I would like to know more about why the leadership was bad. And what did they do because they had main power?
DeleteI feel this post possibly could have included more detail. It was very brief and I don't feel you got across why this period of time was so significant.
Deletei like all the detail :D
DeleteI like this summary, it's very clear.
Deletehi
ReplyDeleteNice job Matt.
DeleteThe Nara period lasted a little less than 100 years. Some important events where the change in government, religion and taxing. Japan also build there capital city in copy of one of the cities in China. The layout of this city was rectangular with a palace at the north. There was also a prince named Anotku who died in 607, before he died he build the oldest remaining wooden building in the world.
ReplyDeleteOn the "Early Days of the Rising Sun" I like how they have the dates to explain where they are.
ReplyDeleteShintoism has no creed or scriptures. They worship Gods called Kami. Kami means “above” or “superior.” The closest people to the Kami are the Emperors. The Kami wouldn’t be considered gods in a western world as they are mainly portrayed as Rivers or Mountains. The religion is based on a series of religions and customs. These include long pilgrimages to famous places and shrines.
ReplyDeleteWhy did Shintoism have no creed or scriptures?
DeleteCan anyone fill me in on this i wasnt here it would be odles of help to me
