Han Dynasty

In the Dynastic cycle, the Song and Han Dynasties of ancient China showed similar periods of prosperity. They had many similarities and differences during their ruling. The dynasties always ruled with an athortain type of government because one man ruled by himself and gave little power to the council and/or government officials. Moreover, the Han and song dynasty shows many similarities and differences during the period of prosperity. First of all, there were 4 similarities that stood out. One

empires in Chinese history were the Qin Dynasty (221- 206 BCE) and the Han Dynasty (202 BCE- 220 CE). They both successfully unified the vast nation of China. Both Empires allowed government to not only influence politics, but also economy, philosophy, and social life. The empires ruled China distinctively differently. The Qin was a very fierce and brutal dynasty, while the Han dynasty tried to reduce the repression of the people brought by the Qin Dynasty. They also both used two distinctive government

There was many dynasties and empires to come about between 200 BCE and 600 CE. One specific dynasty was the Han dynasty. This dynasty was involved in the unification of China. This dynasty was formed by Lia Bang and lasted from 206 BCE to 220 CE, with an interruption phase from 9 CE to 23 CE.The Han dynasty was between decentralized and centralized. Han Wudi was the greatest emperor of this dynasty, who pursued centralization and expansion. There was constant attacks from Xiongnu nomads of C. Asia;

Peasants were the lowest class of the Han dynasty. About 90% (160 million) of people were peasants. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, peasants didn't own their lands. Throughout the Han Dynasty, most peasants owned a small area of land and gave a portion of their crops to the government to pay as tax. The peasants' survival depended on the quality of the crops while they also faced floods, earthquakes, and famine. During the first half of the Han dynasty, there were 20 periods of droughts, floods

Within the Han Dynasty, there were three different social levels: emperor and their family, skilled workers (farmers and merchants), and unskilled workers (servants and slaves). These three classes were determined by social and economic standings within each family. The gender roles within the region saw that women were not viewed as equally as men, for the women’s major role was to birth & raise children, and take care of the household. The social class system in the Han Dynasty can be closely compared

The Han Dynasty was ruled from both emperors as a centralized bureaucracy that focused on administration and imperial expansion. This aided the Han Dynasty to expand and thereby prosper to be one of the greatest ruling empires of all time. India also share some of these values as during the Mauryan Dynasty, Chandragupta Maurya ruled a centralised and unified government. He ran a bureaucratic administrative system which enabled them to implement policies throughout the state, much like the Han. Han

The Han Empire used many of the Qin-dynasty organizational techniques. (Hansen, p 126.) The founder of the Han dynasty was Liu Bang. Liu created a new nobility. Liu gave his sons and brothers the title of king and the lands that they needed and named his most important followers to the rank of marquis. (Hansen, p 132-133.) The government during the Han Empire consisted of one branch split into three parts with the collection of

There are different ways that several of the Chinese philosophies were applied during the Han dynasty. At first when Liu Bang became emperor he as stated in Scores of East Asian Tradition “issued his famous three article code to replace the elaborate legal code of Qin” (pg130). This did away with much of the ideologies of Qin’s Legalism approach to governing, but yet the Han kept much of its bureaucracy. What happens next is the evolution from the three articles to a more complex system evolving

The Roman Empire and the Han dynasty both have created inventions that have inspired the modern world, and created impressive innovations and processes that advanced their primitive societies in the ancient world. Both civilizations worked tirelessly to create innovative solutions to the problems they had, or to advance their cities in a way they felt could not be replicated. Each city had their own view on how these inventions should be created and ran. The Romans created aqueducts and invented

The Han dynasty achieved a significant amount during its era of 206 BC to 220 AD. The Han was the largest empire to date when the borders were expanded to Vietnam and North Korea. Because the Han dynasty lasted for 400 years, it went through 26 emperors. One of them being Emperor Wu who created trade routes, which established the Silk Road. The road allowed for China and India to trade and it later expanded when Emperor Wu established foreign trade routes with other countries. Emperor Wu and the
