China

 China has the greatest population in the world. It is also one of the oldest continuous in the world. China has five thousand years of history. China has been ruled bu dynasties. China had at least 28 dynasties and more than five hundred emperors. The first dynasty was Qin dynasty with emperor Qin Shi Huang. He built the Great Wall to against the invading groups and he was the emperor for whom the famous Terracotta Army was fashioned. The national language in is Mandarin and is spoken by 70 percent of the population in China. Different city or area spoken their own local language. There is over 50,000 characters in the Chinese alphabet but only 8,000 are actually in use. In order to speak fluent Mandarin you need to know 1,500 to 2,000 characters.
   I learned that there is over 50,000 characters in the Chinese alphabet and I realize that I know more than 1,500 characters. There is different kind of Chinese that people spoken in different area of China. The most interest things about China is each of those dynasties has their own story. The emperor Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and we still can see that today.
