This is a map of the Qing Dynasty in 1644-1911. As you can see most of the cities in China are all in the same places as they are now. Beijing is one of those cities. Today, China has gotten a lot bigger than it was during the Qing Dynasty. The reason for that is because China had lots of different Dynasties that conquered territories in the past, and had invasions, but now, it is stable. The country is surrounded by other empires in this map, but currently bordered by Russia, Korea, and more. The great wall is also still bordering china currently and during the Qing Dynasty. Something that changed is, on the map, there are empires around China here, that no longer exist anymore. The map of the Qing Dynasty and the map of China now has changed dramatically.

Good start. Please add a few more details about what one can see on the map. Also, please proofread and edit. The first sentence, for example, has a grammatical error.
ReplyDeleteBetter, but you still need to polish it. I caught a couple of errors. Also, your sentence about the cities being the same today is awkwardly worded. You might even want to turn it into two sentences.
