Abstract
For the past 2000 years or more, the Chinese people have survived and developed through hard work and traditional wisdom. One example of such wisdom is the creation of the Chinese calendar and the system of 24 Jie Qi, which provided guidance and management for agricultural production. Another example is a method of urban development that guaranteed stability and prosperity for the empire.
