| | Chinese Dynasties |
| | Domestic economic instability and military defeat in 751 by Arabs at Talas, in Central Asia, marked the beginning of five centuries of steady military decline for the Chinese empire. | | | The early Chinese, in fact, believed that Lao Tzu had travelled to India and that the Buddha was his disciple. | | | This is largely due to the fact that the early Chinese initially thought that Buddhism was another form of Taoism, particularly since the translators used Taoist terms to translate Buddhist doctrines. |

| | The Kushana Kingdom was the crucible of trade among the Indian, Persian, Chinese, and Roman empires and controlled a critical part of the legendary Silk Road. | | | The empire was divided into provinces, districts, and villages governed by a host of centrally appointed local officials, who replicated the functions of the central administration. | | | It was his son, however, Samudragupta (335-376), and later his grandson, Chandragupta II (376-415), who extended the kingdom into an empire over the whole of the north and the western Deccan. |

| | The Chinese had just subjugated the kingdoms of Hwuy-mih and Corea on the east, and annexed these territories to the empire, while they had established the region of Tsew-tseuen on the west [in Kansu], as a barrier against the incursions of the Hoo; and to afford facilities of intercourse with the Keang. | | | The captives who had been taken by the Chinese were questioned regarding these movements, and all affirmed that it was Keu, the son of the Heaou Shen-yu Heen, who had been the leader in the raids. | | | When the King of Lou-lan was appointed, the Chinese again reproached the hostage prince with the fact that his father had also sent a son as hostage to the Hsiung-nu. |

| | CPAmedia.com: The Hui: China's most loyal Muslims |
| | Successive Chinese governments, regardless of their political colour, have been well aware of this fact, and for this reason the Hui figure prominently as favoured settlers in such far-flung outposts of empire as Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. | | | At the same time the "non-Chinese" aspect of the Hui, so disturbing to the Han in Beijing or Shanghai, seems to diminish in comparison with Tibetans, Mongols and Turks, whilst the Chinese element in their ethnic make-up and cultural behaviour begins to seem reassuringly familiar! | | | It was a Hui Muslim general that outraged the Uighurs of Kashgar by hanging a picture of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of Chinese nationalism, in that city's Id Ga Mosque. |

| | When the three traditions of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism flowered in the Chinese Empire, they were collectively called "The Three Teachings." It has nothing to do with the Tripitarka. | | | In the Iron Age, when "The Three Teachings" (Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism) became an extremely important part of Chinese society (and other neighboring cultures as well), that was when Confucianism became the "official" ideology and when Daoism became a religion (it was originally only a philosophy). | | | The influence of Indo-Iranian Turkic culture on Chinese history, science and religion is explored in a book called 'The Sextants of Beijing' by Joanna Waley-Cohen, which also seeks to debunk the myth of isolationist rejectionist China. |
