MAP 10 points total (1/2 point each)
You will be given a blank map with outlines of countries, provinces, cities and rivers but with no
place names on it. You will also be provided with a list of 20 place names from selected from the
list below. Your job will be to place those names upon that map in the right spot. You will find
these locations on the following maps in your readings:
Kuhn, 109; Elliott 15, 87; Naughton 23(provinces) & 24 (rivers & cities); Schoppa 56, 99
Qing Territories:
Tibet Xinjiang Manchuria (Today China’s 3 North East provinces)
Inner Mongolia (today an Autonomous Region) and Outer Mongolia (today’s Mongolia)
China proper (the provinces during the Qing…don’t need to know all names, just general area)
Provinces you DO need to identify:
Fujian Guangdong Sichuan Jiangsu Shandong Yunnan
Cities of China:
Macao Canton/Guangzhou Nanjing Chongqing Shanghai Fuzhou
Hong Kong Beijing Yan’an Shenzhen Amoy/Xiamen Xi’an
Rivers:
Yellow Yangzi Pearl Yalu (between China and Korea)
OUTSIDE OF CHINA:
Vietnam Hanoi Manila Philippines Singapore Malaya
Java Sumatra Ryukyus (Ryokyo) N. Korea S. Korea Mongolia
Japan
Inside or outside China? Who knows. Still they have a clear location on the map:
Taiwan Senkaku/ Diaoyutai
Note: Note Shenzhen, Guangzhou/Canton, Macao and Hong Kong are all really close together
and if you put them all in the approximate same place that is fine.
Dynasty IDs: 4 dynasty names will appear, you must ID 2. 5 points each. 10 total
You will need to be able to identify these dynasties: Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing.
For these dynasty IDs you will have to provide the following for full credit:
The approximate dates/centuries of dynasty (specific years/decades not expected)
The general territorial extent of each dynasty
The ethnic/territorial backgrounds of the rulers. (The Han, Song, and Ming were Han Chinese;
the Yuan were Mongols; the Qing were Manchu. The Tang were mixed Han and Turkic.)
In addition to these three basic pieces of information you will need to describe three significant
aspects of each dynasty (most of which for the purposes of our course have to do with foreign
relations, wars, conquests, trade, territorial extent, ethnic diversity, major events that occurred
during the dynasty, or major cultural trends).
Other IDS (from the list below)
15 ID terms will appear; you must answer 6. 5 points each 30 Total
Regarding terms and events, again, exact dates are not necessary but having a general sense of
when the events occurred, when a particular person was alive, and the basic order of events is
expected.
Let’s take the Macartney embassy as an example:
In terms of what you should know in your head about chronology and how events are connected:
You should know that the Macartney embassy happened around 1800, about a generation (40 or
50 years) before the opium war; that Macartney was trying get the Qing (Qianlong was the
emperor) to change the Canton trade system (British trade had been centered in Canton for over a
century, and formally confined there for decades); that the kowtow was a controversial issue in
this mission; and that Qianlong refused to open new ports to trade. This info does not
necessarily have to be listed this way in your answer, but you should know it for IDs or short
essays.
As far as an actual answer to the ID question, the following would get you full credit.
