How are Chinese society and culture portrayed and critiqued?. World History
Coleman portrays the Chinese culture as the oldest and the center of the universe in the documentary. According to the film, the ancient Chinese had a great impact on the world. The film portrays the Chinese as artistic and creativity people (Coleman n.p.). The impacts of the inventions made by the ancient Chinese exist today. The Chinese society used traditional equipment to create remarkable tools that people use today. They used calligraphy to write and traditional apparatus such as bells to measure length and weight (Coleman n.p.). The Chinese society values arts such as drawing, carvings, and poetry. Despite making numerous inventions, the ancient Chinese did not use sophisticated technology. In addition, the Chinese do not relate the innovations and inventions to specific individuals. They utilized their skills and creativity to benefit the whole society.
