Early beginnings of "One China" model: Chinese History
Until early sixteenth century, when Portuguese landed in China, the region was ruled by several dynasties starting with Xia dynasty to Zhou dynasty, Qin dynasty, Han dynasty, Sui dynasty, Tang dynasty, Song dynasty, Yuan dynasty and Ming dynasty. On various occasions during this period writing system was invented, Great Wall was built, Buddhism flourished and cities prospered with the re-establishment of Chinese control of silk routes.
