Geography and Topography

China's geography has not changed significantly since Ancient times.  What has changed is where the Chinese people reside in the China area.

Shang Dynasty

The Shang Dynasty was centered in what is now The Northern Henan Providence.  Anyang was a Shang capital.  It had houses, temples, and elaborate tombs.

Chinese Geo-Myths

The Chinese had many myths.  Some were about gods, and some were even about China's geography!  One myth, about a man who tries to move mountains blocking his view, can be found at this website.

China is home to the famed Himalayas Mountains, and half of Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.  There were two rivers that did a lot for the Shang People, the Huang He and the Yangtze.
