Han China - Antiquity Age Civilization

Est. Read Time2 minutes, 22 seconds

The Han was not the first of China's ancient dynasties, but was arguably its grandest. From Liu Bang's rebellion against the iron-fisted Qin came a balance between centralized authority and Confucian meritocracy, and a wave of innovation in statecraft, philosophy, and science. With an army of shi dafu, scholar-bureaucrats, at home and an army of chariots, heavy infantry, and crossbows abroad, for four hundred years the Han held the Mandate of Heaven.
