In the same periodical is great article for the middle school teacher. The article is entitles, "Did the Middle Kingdom Have a Middle Period? The Problem of 'Medieval' in China's History." This very apt article authored by Keith N. Knapp, is a great question for us in-betweeneers to ponder.

He states how there are great similarities between Medieval China to Early Medieval Europe, primarily the lack of centralized government spanning the entire region.Another similarities, he states, is the amount of cultures interacting at that time, in that area.

What is really interesting is his attention to the dissimilarities. In the end he points towards the middle of the two geographic regions for a way of finding harmony between them all.

I highly suggest the article and am pleased to be subscribed to the journal.
