This project is the combination of Chinese history and its language (Mandarin). Our project is about 70-80% history and 20-30% language. For the history component, we will cover the history of Imperial China -- from when recorded history began up till 1911. The history component can be discovered through Dynasties, Major Events, People, Culture and Sciences. Under some of these categories, there will be many subcategories. This site has many interactive features such as .wav files to help foreigners pronounce names correctly, maps to guide through the battles, pictures, quizzes, and crossword puzzles. Teachers and students can learn the basics of the language in the language section with many .wav files. They can also test their knowledge by taking the quizzes as well as making up some quizzes themselves. Teachers and students can also save their scores to their own account for later viewing.
