Useful Resources
There is so much to learn about China, we couldn't fit it all on one website! Down below, we have some links that will bring you to other great sites about this same topic.

I can recommend this website because it is really easy to use and there is a very large range of topics and information about ancient China, even things we have not mentioned. This website allows you to explore more on this wonderful topic! This website was not in ancient China, so it is a secondary source. http://www.ancientchina.co.uk/menu.html
I recommend this website because it is reliable, interactive, and full of information. You can explore a variety of topics with engaging activities and see many artifacts that were actually in ancient China. The website itself is a secondary source; however, the artifacts that are displayed on this website are primary sources. http://www.china-history.net/qin.htm
This is a great website to learn about the first emperor of China. This is interesting and engaging because you can learn not only about what China was like but what the rulers were like and what they accomplished. Since this website was not around in ancient China, this is definitely a secondary source. http://www.merriam-webster.com/concise/china?show=0&t=1402085696

Don't get confused!
Unsure of what a primary source and a secondary source is?
A primary source is someone or something that was there when the event actually occurred. This can include artifacts and people who were there at the event.
A secondary source is someone or something that was not at the actual event but still contains knowledge about the topic. For example, a textbook or this website is a secondary source.
