In your response, be sure to address all parts of the question. Use complete sentences; an outline or bulleted list alone is not

acceptable.
Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.

“In the past, none failed to hear Confucius’ teachings, but few understood them. Thereafter came the vulgar Confucian scholarship of later times, which stressed memorization and literary composition, but was of no real use. Then came the deviant doctrines of Buddhism and Daoism, which had loftier goals but lacked solid substance. These teachings were mixed together in great confusion so that rulers could no longer hear the essential teachings of Confucius, and lesser men could no longer enjoy the benefits of good government. Everything decayed until disorder and destruction reached its extreme in the Five Dynasties period*.

Yet Heaven’s cycle continues. The virtuous power of the Song dynasty rose up, and both government and education shone with great luster. With that, the method whereby the ancients taught men was once again made brilliantly clear to the world.”

b) Identify ONE way in which the ideas expressed in the passage illustrate the social or political development of China under the Song dynasty.

irina [1583]

Answer:

The issue of lacking a global standard calendar.

Explanation:

Countries maintain distinct calendars that align with their respective cultural and religious practices. Each nation adheres to its unique customs, often resulting in holidays that can disrupt business, markets, and trading on days when others are operating. This can confuse tourists who may be unaware of a country's public holidays, causing them to find attractions and museums closed. A unified global calendar would benefit commerce, travelers, and international trade.

Xelga [1423]

Both narratives refer to individuals seeking safety in the Tower of David, but Fulcher asserts that everyone was killed, while al-Athir claims some surrendered and were spared. Both narratives agree that all in the Temple of Solomon were killed, yet Fulcher states that 10,000 died, whereas al-Athir contends that the number was 70,000. Fulcher’s account is likely the more dependable one as he experienced the event firsthand, and his narrative was recorded shortly after it occurred, while al-Athir wrote his account over a century later.
