("JUST ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN AND CAN YOU TRY TO KEEP THE ANSWER SHORT" THANK YOU )!! 13. Indo-European religious traditions, preserved in the Vedas, blended with the indigenous traditions of the Dravidian population to create a nascent form of Hinduism. These religious traditions began to formalize around 750 to 550 BCE with the writing of the Upanishads. This faith centered on the basic belief that all living things are reincarnated after death with the quality of the next life based on the deeds (Karma) of the individual in the previous life. Humans are expected to live according to the Dharma and good conduct is rewarded with an eventual release from the cycle of reincarnation called Moksha. 13. What are some of the primary aspects of Hinduism and Its belief system? How is this different from other religions you know? 14. This faith, combined with the dominance of the Indo-European Aryans over the indigenous Dravidians led to the creation of a rigid social class system called Caste or Varna. The population was divided into five hereditary social classes based on ethnicity and occupation. 14. What were the social classes based on? 15. Hinduism fully developed during the Gupta Dynasty (320 CE to 550 CE). During this period the hereditary nature of the occupational classes of the Caste System, patriarchy, the belief in a pantheon of Gods, a rich tradition of epic literature and the construction of monumental Hindu architecture became commonplace. These traditions, established Gupta Dynasty, endured for centuries among the population of South Asia. 15. What would come from the Gupta Dynasty? 16. Hinduism's dominance in the region was challenged by the emergence of new faiths including Jainism and Buddhism in around 500 BCE. While Buddhism had little success in gaining adherents in South Asia it did spread along trade routes and become a major faith in East and Southeast Asia. Buddhism was founded by a Hindu prince named Siddhartha Gautama who rejected the caste system and the pantheon of Hindu Gods and taught instead that spiritual enlightenment (Nirvana) and escape from the cycle reincarnation could be reached in a single lifetime by accepting the Four Noble Truths and following the Eightfold Path. 16. What are some of the Primary aspects of Buddhism? 17. In the period after c. 500 BCE Buddhism offered an alternative to the sometimes oppressive nature of Hinduism's caste system and patriarchal traditions. The popularity of Buddhism reached its peak in the Mauryan Dynasty (324-184 BCE) under the Emperor Ashoka. Ashoka made it state policy to promote the spread of Buddhism. These policies ensured that Buddhism would endure as a major world religion. During the Gupta Dynasty (320 CE-550 CE) Buddhism fell out of favor in South Asia but endured as major faith along the trade routes in the Indian Ocean and the Silk Road. This endurance was facilitated by the tradition of monasticism in the Buddhist faith. Buddhist nuns and monks established monasteries in remote areas along major trade routes. These monasteries spread the faith among traveling merchants and offered a life free of the traditional confines of patriarchy and caste for both women and men. 17. When would Buddhism come to its high and how was it able to endure through the centuries? 18. Confucius (c551-479 BCE) lived in the waning days of the Zhou Dynasty, a period of social and political upheaval. His philosophy, recorded by his followers in the Analects proposed a solution to this unrest. He argued that the long established traditions of filial piety and the Mandate of Heaven held the key to social order. For Confucius. the family served as a model for society as a whole. The eldest male of the family held a moral obligation to lead and care for his household with wisdom and benevolence in exchange each member of the family was obliged to obey. Confucius believed that the hierarchy of family could be expanded to bring order to society as a whole. Arguing that humans were innately good and that if treated with respect would obey righteous leaders, the Analects laid out five relationships that were rooted in long held Chinese traditions and would bring peace and order to society. Each relationship was based in reciprocal respect and duty, they include ruler and subject, father and son, husband and wife, older brother and younger brother, and friend and friend. In an ideal Confucian society, wise superiors protect and respect their subordinates, subordinates obey and respect their superiors and all obey the golden rule: "never do to others what you would not like them to do to you." Confucianism created a fairly rigid social hierarchy, strongly supported patriarchy, encouraged education, and supported the tradition of ancestor veneration in China from 18. What was the primary diffrence between legalism and the ideas of / nfucius? Summerize the main ideas or Confucius. Do some of these ideas endure to this dav?
