Reflection
I have learnt that China had faced internal threats such as natural disasters, civil wars and rebellion. The people had suffered a lot when natural disasters and civil wars occurred. Many were drowned due to the flooding of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. They had faced famine too, but I think they were well prepared for the famine by stocking granaries. During the civil wars, many people were killed as well. Also, peasant and military rebellions often broke out. These internal threats had caused much instability but I think they were strong enough to be able to overcome these difficulties.

Through this History group assignment, I have learnt that China had experienced many internal threats. China faced natural disasters such as famines due to an increase in population and floods which caused crops being destroyed and many to die. Civil wars and rebellion such as peasant and military rebellion were also examples of internal threats. Despite these, I believe they had their ways to deal with the setbacks. Similarly, I think we should stay as calm as we could if we faced any misfortune and face the problem in a positive way.

From this assignment, I have learnt that not only external threats that will harm people of China, but also internal threats. Some internal threats, such as natural disasters, cannot be prevented from happening whereas others, such as civil wars and rebellions, can be prevented but the effect after them may be even worse than natural disasters. I believed with a good emperor with useful policies, people will be satisfied with him, thus respecting and supporting him, and no rebels, except for those greedy for power, will be in the country. Without rebels, there won't be rebellion inthe country, giving the people of the country a peaceful life.

Through this assignment, I have learnt that internal threats of China can cause China to suffer a huge loss, be it human, resources and lands. Some examples of internal threats are natural disasters, famine and rebellion. Natural disasters involves flood. Flood, flood can cause great destruction when not prevented. They built dykes to prevent floods. Famine, they had back up stored in the storage in case of droughts or floods. Rebellion, they had inspectors to watch over governors and they leave the inspectors’ family members in the capital so the inspectors dare not rebel against the king or emperor. I think we should learn from them, they knew that prevention is better than cure. It is something good that we can learnt from, than to regret and cry over spilt milk after what has been done.
