Teachings on Law and
Morality
The laws ofthe Torah address all aspects of life, from cleanliness and foodpreparation to criminal matters.
Jews believe that God gave them a set of laws called the Ten Commandments.
Jewish prophets, or spiritual leaders, preached a code of ethics, or moral standardsof behavior. For this reason it is a religion known as Ethical Monotheism.
Examples: The rich and powerful must protect the poor and weak.
All people are equal under God.
Unlike many ancient people, the Jews believed their leaders were fully human andbound by Gods law.

SYMBOLS The Magen David (or as it is morecommonly known, the
Star of David) is the symbol most commonly associated
with Judaism today, but it is actually a relatively new
Jewish symbol. It is supposed to represent the shape of
King David's shield (or perhaps the emblem on it), but there
is really no support for that claim in any rabbinic literature.
In fact, the symbol is so rare in early Jewish literature and artwork that art dealers
suspect forgery if they find the symbol in early works.
Some note that the top triangle strives upward, toward God, while the lower triangle strives
downward, toward the real world. Some note that the intertwining makes the triangles
inseparable, like the Jewish people. Some note that there are actually 12 sides (3 exterior and 3interior on each triangle), representing the 12 tribes of Israel. While these theories are
theologically interesting, they have little basis in historical fact. The symbol of intertwined
equilateral triangles is actually a common one in the Middle East and North Africa, and is
thought to bring good luck. It appears occasionally in early Jewish artwork, but
never as an exclusively Jewish symbol.
The nearest thing to an "official" Jewish symbol at the time was the menorah.
The Magen David gained popularity again as a symbol of Judaism when it
was adopted as the emblem of the Zionist movement in 1897,
but the symbol continued to be controversial for many years afterward. When
the modern state of Israel was founded in 1949, there was much debate over
whether this symbol should be used on the flag.

The first 300 years of Zhou rule were relatively peaceful and stable.
But that changed around 771 B.C.E. as nomadic tribes invaded from the north
and as the noble families began to fight for power against one another.
The crossbow is introduced in China during this time of great conflict and chaos
known as the Period of Warring States.
Chinese values collapsed during this period of arrogance, chaos, and defiance.
Will China be saved?
By who? By what?
..stay tuned.

TAOISM
Laozi (or, Lao-tzu) was also a great Chinese thinker.
Taoism was not meant to be a religion. It is a "Way" of life.
It is a River. The Tao is the natural order of things.
It is a force that flows through every living thing,as well as through the entire universe.
When the Tao is in balance it is possible to find perfect happiness.
Yin-Yang the
Universe in BalanceTaoism is a religio-philosophical tradition that has, along with
Confucianism, shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years.
The Taoist heritage, with its emphasis on individual freedom and
spontaneity, laissez-faire (hands off) government and social
primitivism, mystical experience, and techniques of self-
transformation, represents in many ways the antithesis to Confucian
concern with individual moral duties, community standards, and
governmental responsibilities.http://www.crystalinks.com/taoism.html
Just let go, let the universe happen and all fall back into flow!
was Laozis answerto Chinas problems and personal happiness.
Called Taoism, orDaoism. The Tao was written in a time of feudal warfare and constant
conflict. Lao Tzu was reflecting on a way which would stop
the warfare, a path for humanity to follow which would end
the conflict.
And so he came up with a few pages of short verses, whichbecame the Tao Te Ching, this is the original book of Tao.

LEGALISM
Legalism is the belief that order can only be restored through strict laws and force.
Han Feizi, as a student, was taught in the Confucian tradition.
Because of a problem with stuttering, he did not go the way most wandering
philosophers of this age did making the rounds of kings' courts and making
speeches. Instead, he wrote. His book, the Han Feizi, brought him some
prominence during his life and ended up being the main text of the school of
Legalism.
He traced the cause of the chaos of the time back to a growing population.
According to him, this caused a scarcity of resources which led to war and strife.Shangzi saw a strong government according to law as the solution to the problem. Han Feizi died as a result of political intrigue in 233 BC,
but Legalism would go on to become the philosophy which finally managed to unify China.

and levying large tax rates that oppressed the commoners of ancient China. He
tried to eliminate the teachings of Confucius, and the education system that
accompanied Confucianism. In his final years, Shi Huangdi became quite withdrawn
and odd-behaving. He surrounded himself with magicians and alchemists, providing
them only one task: to find or create an immortality formula. Shi Huangdi became
increasingly more maniacal near his death, and wanted an potion that would allow him
to rule as a divine emperor forever. He died-- broken, insane, and alone--after a trip toJapan in search of this magic potion in 210 BCE.
Recently discovered in 1974 by Chinese peasants who were drilling a well, the tomb of
Shi Huangdi proved to be one of the greatest archaeological finds. Archaeologists were
uncertain when the excavations began of the great magnitude of this site. The centerpiece
of Shi Huangdi's mausoleum is the terra-cotta army of approximately 8,000 life-sized
men and horses. Individually sculpted of thick terra-cotta clay, each soldier and horse
is unique, each with its own style of dress (the mineral paints used to cover the figures
in bright, gay colors have since dissolved), weaponry, and facial expressions. Built mainly underground, the construction
itself took 700,000 prisoners of war and slaves over 36 years
to construct and covers approximately four square miles. The as-yet-unearthed palace
(built for Shi-Huangdis use in the afterlife and thus never lived in)
is reputedly of legendary grandeur. Shi-Huangdis actual
pyramidal tomb has also not been excavated yet.
When the Chinese made the first announcements about the statues
in 1974, many archaeologists, intellectuals and especially tourists
wanted to visit the site. The Chinese communist government today
has been surprisingly open about visitation (although they oversee
all the digging) and even lead tours to watch the actual excavation
as it takes place.
