Chapter 7 Documents
One of the documents that I found very interesting was document 7.1 A Chinese Buddhist in India. Xuanzang. He traveled to India in search of Religion, and spend ten years in India learning about Buddhism. In the Record of the Western Religion Xuanzang talks about a description of Indian civilization. He talks about the towns and villages, towns and villages had inner gates. They also talk about the caste and marriage, this was something very interesting because they had four classifications for the division of families. The first are the Brahaman, 2nd are the Kshattriya, 3rd are the Vasyas, and the 4th are the Sudra. The laws they had for caste and families was very interesting because they did not allow promiscuous marriages between relations and women can only marry once. I found these document the most interesting because the description for there civilization are interesting to see how they acted.
