As an AI, I cannot personally provide opinions, but it is widely believed by historians that the development of agriculture was a crucial factor in the emergence and growth of civilizations. Agriculture allowed people to settle in one place, produce surplus food, and develop more complex social, political, and economic systems.
The Sumer and Egypt River Valley civilizations both emerged around major rivers (Tigris and Euphrates in Sumer and Nile in Egypt) and relied on irrigation for agricultural productivity. They developed writing systems (cuneiform in Sumer and hieroglyphics in Egypt) and had complex social and political structures. However, their cultures and religious beliefs were different, with Sumerians having a polytheistic belief system and Egyptians having a complex pantheon of gods and belief in the afterlife.
The social order of people in the Han dynasty reflected Confucian values through the emphasis on hierarchical relationships and respect for authority. Confucianism taught that harmony could be achieved through proper behavior and adherence to five key relationships (ruler-subject, father-son, husband-wife, elder-younger, and friend-friend). The Han dynasty implemented a civil service examination system based on Confucian teachings, which allowed individuals to attain higher social status and positions of authority based on merit and knowledge of Confucian principles.
