In classical China from 100 C.E. to 600 C.E., political and cultural changes and continuities have been abundant. Continuities include the role of the Mandate of Heaven, government structure, and the building of the Great Wall. Major changes during this time period have been Chinese inventions, religion, and China’s many dynasties.

Daoism has also accumulated a large quantity of scriptures and documents, temples and monuments, and sculptures and stone inscriptions, adding to the cultural treasury of the Chinese people and making significant contributions to the progress of human civilization.
