Cleaning Up

Toilet paper was invented in China, but it was only made


available to Emperors.
Fortunate
Fortune cookies are not a traditional Chinese custom. They were invented by
a noodle factory worker in the 1920’s, in San Francisco. We guess you could
say fortune cookies are a traditional American custom.
Uncovered
In 1974, a group of farmers digging for a well in the Shaanxi province uncovered some
bits of very old pottery. They discovered the tomb of Qin, the first emperor who united
China, and whom China is named after (Qin is pronounced Chin). The tomb contained
thousands of amazing life-sized terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots.
