Again, I love the maps and PPTs. These will definitely be useful in my classroom. I wish we had a bit more time to look at early East Asia. Although I'm familiar with early China, today helped fill a few gaps. I particularly liked the integration of China, Korea, and Japan rather than discussing them in isolation. I also realized when we were going over the Chinese dynasties that I haven't been pronouncing the Sui correctly. This is somewhat embarrassing as I teach my students the Chinese dynasty song. Most of you here probably already have it, but here it is just in case.

The Dynasty song, to the tune of “Frere Jacques”:

Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han
Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han

Sui, Tang, Song
Sui, Tang, Song

Yuan, Ming, Qing, Republic
Yuan, Ming, Qing, Republic

Mao Zedong
