Eastwest99, you have submitted 8, (so far), threads asking General Questions regarding historical China in multiple fora.

Knock it off.

We do not permit homework questions.

We do not permit spamming the board.

We really prefer that posters pay attention to the rules and the culture of the board.

Take a deep breath. Read over the descriptions of each forum to see what sort of post is appropriate to it.
