New Members SRT96 Posted November 15, 2012 at 05:10 PM New Members Report Posted November 15, 2012 at 05:10 PM Hi! I am from Norway, and I am taking chinese classes this year. We are going to have a presentation about the Eastern Han Dynasty(Later Han). I find it difficult to find relevant material on the internet for this. Does anybody know something interesting about the Eastern Han Dynasty that they want to share? 谢谢 Quote

imron Posted November 16, 2012 at 08:09 AM Report Posted November 16, 2012 at 08:09 AM Well, for a start, you would probably get more useful replies if you could say why the information available to you through Wikipedia and Google is not sufficient and what other types of information you are hoping to find. 'Different' and 'Interesting' aren't really specific enough. Quote
New Members SRT96 Posted November 16, 2012 at 08:28 AM Author New Members Report Posted November 16, 2012 at 08:28 AM Okay, I need some facts that is not just history. Maybe something about inventions from the eastern Han, or something special that happened in the eastern Han that had great influence on Chinas history. Quote
Shelley Posted November 16, 2012 at 11:36 AM Report Posted November 16, 2012 at 11:36 AM I don't understand what you mean by "facts that are not just history" It happened in the past it is therefore it is history, I think you will just have to search the internet with some specific search terms and maybe visit a library and search through some history books. There is probably a limited amount of information about things like this anyway, and you just have to search through it all to glean what you need. Good luck Quote

skylee Posted November 16, 2012 at 12:53 PM Report Posted November 16, 2012 at 12:53 PM How about Zhang Heng the scientist? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Heng Quote
daofeishi Posted November 17, 2012 at 12:57 AM Report Posted November 17, 2012 at 12:57 AM If you're in Norway, why don't you use one of the many resources that are available to you for free, and that are meant to be used for projects like these? There are e.g. the university libraries in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim and Deichmannske in Oslo who have access to journals, texts, reference material and research librarians who can help you further! Try to at least put a minimum of thought into your problems before asking others to help you. It took me a grand total of 5 seconds to get from Maybe something about inventions from the eastern Han to Science and Technology of the Han Dynasty - Wikipedia That article is chock full of sources, like Needham which you should be able to find in your local library. Whatever happened to the Norwegian concept of ansvar for egen læring? - 1 Quote

Scandinavian Posted November 20, 2012 at 02:41 AM Report Posted November 20, 2012 at 02:41 AM China History Podcast CHP-18 - CHP-20 has something on the topic. But the library as suggested above seem like a good place to start http://chinahistorypodcast.com/page/5/ Quote
