| | |  Empress Wu: Encyclopedia II - Swastika - Religion and mythology
The swastika is found all over Hindu temples, signs, altars, pictures and iconography where it is sacred. It is used in all Hindu weddings, festivals, ceromonies, houses and doorways, clothing and jewelry, motor transport and even decorations on food items like cakes and pastries.

| | | | Empress Wu: Encyclopedia II - Swastika - History The earliest swastika-like symbols preserved appear on pottery dated from around 4000 BC, as part of the "Vinca script". The Swastika symbol was also used as part of the Indus script from around 3000 BC, from which the later Hindu/Jain/Buddhist use of the symbol probably evolved. Pottery dating to ca. 2000 BC found at Sintashta is also decorated with the swastika symbol [4]. Swastika-like symbols also appear in Bronze and Iron Age designs of the northern Caucasus (Koban culture), and Azerbayjan, as well as of Scythians and Sarmatians [5]. In ...

| | | | Empress Wu: Encyclopedia II - Emperor of China - Styles names and forms of address To see naming conventions in detail, please refer to Chinese sovereign
As the Emperor has, by law, a high position challenged by no one else, his subjects are to show the utmost respect in his presence, whether it includes direct conversation or otherwise. In a conversation with the Emperor, it is considered a crime to compare oneself to the Emperor in any way. It is taboo to refer to the Emperor by his given name, even if it is from his own mother, who uses Huangdi (Emperor), or "Er" (simply "son"). The Emperor is never to be ...

| | | | Empress Wu: Encyclopedia II - Empress Dowager Cixi - Youth Recent biographies of Cixi usually state that she was the daughter of a low-ranking Manchu official, Huizheng (惠征), of the Yehe-Nara clan, serving in Shanxi province and then in Anhui province.

Military history of China - Qin and Han dynasties.
Both the Qin and Western Han empires employed a military system based on universal conscription and corvee labour.
