History
1 answer:
kotykmax [81]3 years ago
4 0

Many immigrants from china shifted to US in search of  better livelihood during the mid nineteenth century and they were employed in the construction of Transcontinental railroads.

Explanation:

Many Chinese immigrants joined the construction company and they were employed in the construction of transcontinental rail rods which extended from Atlantic to Pacific coast.  They increased their standard of living and advanced to modernity but suffered a great back lash of racial discrimination.

Most of the young Chinese males who migrated from china to US were mostly from peasant families. Many loan companies started to operate which encouraged the Chinese to take loans in order to reach US and earn their livelihood. Americans who observed the plight of the Chinese observed them to be the rich source of cheap labor and employed them in the construction of transcontinental railroads.

Tang and Song Dynasty definition
Schach [20]

Answer:  Tang Dynasty, generally considered the golden age of Chinese culture, was founded by the Lǐ family, which took power during the Sui Dynasty's decline and collapse.

Tang Dynasty was founded by Li Yuan, a duke who took power during the decline and collapse of the Sui Dynasty.

Over the next hundred years, several Tang leaders ruled, including a woman, Empress Wu, whose rise to power was achieved through cruel and calculating tactics, but which made room for the prominent role of women in the imperial court.

During Emperor Xuanzong's forty-four-year reign, which came to power in 712, the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, a golden age with low economic inflation and a weakened lifestyle for the imperial court.

Song Dynasty was a time in Chinese history that began in 960 and continued until 1279; It followed the tumultuous period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and saw many technological and cultural innovations.

It was the first government in world history to issue notes and the first Chinese government to establish a permanent navy; saw the first known use of gunpowder and the first recognition of true north using a compass.
