Best Answer

1.) Because he could

2.) Often times both peasents and officials in the court would offer their daughters in hopes of reciving favours from the Emporor. 3.) The concubines were ladies who relieved the emperor from the great stress that comes with power, as hard as this could sound to other cultures, it was like that. Once an emperor had more than 40000 concubines all around the country, but the more they had, you could say, the worst the emperor would be, there is an ancient legend between the walls of the forbidden city, which says that the emperor should dedicate his time to state matters and not to enjoy the abuse of his power, so as a reminder, there is a human form on a big chicken on every roof of this palace, so this would not be forgotten by the emperor.

Why were so many cultures developed in ancient china?

I think many different cultures developed within ancient China because back then, China was split up in to several parts that had different leaders. All these great leaders had different perspectives on how to rule China and some were stronger than others. Before China became one, there were many dynasties that believed in different things, ruled differently and made different discoveries and inventions. During every dynasty, each emperor changed China and made it better than it was before. Each emperor created a different culture. Each emperor influenced a new culture and the Chinese civilization.

Did the Chinese have slaves?

Yes, in fact most Ancient civilizations had slaves. Slaves had the most filthy, and uncomfortable jobs which nobody wants. If you were female you could have ended up being the Emperor's concubine (sex slave) if you were lucky. You may not think that being a sex slave is lucky but to the Ancient Chinese the Emperor was God's representative on earth, so it was a very good job. The Slavery in China was at its peak in the Shang Dynasty.

How was china ruled in earlier times?

China was ruled by dynasties (line of hereditary rulers) in earlier times. When a dynasty became weak, another man would take control of China and start a new dynasty, which is why there were so many different dynasties throughout China's history. The dynasties were headed by emperors who had absolute power. When the emperor died, his male heir would become the next emperor.
