Han China - Antiquity Age Civilization

Est. Read Time0 seconds

APEX AGE: ANTIQUITY

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.
