The Golden Age of China

China finally started to become a unified place, where everyone started to come together as one, and not be so spread out.  The Chinese's Empire was strong one, that was starting to look real promising, and maybe even great because they were not making the same mistakes that the Romans did.  The dynasty that was formed in China was formed under the Sui Dynasty who's emperors solidified the vast extension of the country's canal system.  China was becoming a very vast country because they had so much land to go over, they were now starting to migrate southward and claim those free lands for themselves.  In the "Golden Age" it was not all that bright for the women involved because the woman had to physically  hurt themselves, in order to keep up with the beauty standards, which were not even their choices.  For example they would have to smash their toes and break their bones in order to fit into a different size of shoe.  This was seen as beauty back in the day by the Chinese, so the women had to do it.  Many women died because of the feet crushing, they were prone to infection and disease which lead to many women casualties. So as you can see the "Golden Age" was not all that golden for the many women that lived during that time in China.
