Comparisons of Chinese and Western History: Ten Major Differences:
1. Burial with the Dead: This practice existed on a large scale in China for thousands of years but was never present in the West. The Book of Han records that tens of thousands of people were killed and buried in the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The practice of burying the living with the dead was not completely abolished until 1928 by the Nanjing Nationalist government.
2. Cannibalism: This practice existed on a large scale in China for thousands of years, as documented in the historical records of all dynasties, until the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. Cannibalism in the West was infrequent.
3. Eunuch System: This practice existed on a large scale in China for thousands of years, while in the West, it existed only infrequently in the early times.
4. Imperial Harem System: This system existed for thousands of years in China but never in the West.
5. Polygamy: This practice existed on a large scale in China for thousands of years, while in the West, it existed only infrequently in the early times.
6. Imperial Mausoleum: China far surpasses the West both in terms of the scale of the mausoleums and the burial objects. The mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang alone can compete with the sum total of all the imperial and royal tombs in European countries.
7. Killing Captives and Massacring Cities: This practice existed on a large scale in China for thousands of years, as documented in the historical records of all dynasties. Such practices in the West were sporadic.
8. Familial Fratricide: This practice existed on a large scale in the Chinese imperial and royal families for thousands of years, as documented in historical records of all dynasties. Familial fratricide in the West was infrequent.
9. Nine Kinship Exterminations: This practice existed in China on a large scale for thousands of years, as documented in historical records of all dynasties. Nine Kinship Exterminations never existed in the West.
10. Infanticide: This practice has existed in China on a large scale throughout history until today. In the West, infanticide existed in small numbers.
