-THE HAN DYNASTY-
The Han empire began in 206 B.C. when Liu Bang, prince of Han, defeated the Qin army in the valley of Wei. The defeat was part of a larger rebellion that began after the First Emporer's death.Han power was based on direct control of people by the state.Like the Qin before them, the main goal of the Han was the unification of China. The expansion during the Han Dynasty led to trade with the people of inner Asia. Thereafter, the Silk Road was developed. Agriculture grew with the development of better tools. Iron tools were made of better quality, and oxen drawn ploughs were commonly used. Irrigation systems were increased to help develop the areas of North China. Crop rotation was also practiced from 85 B.C. onwards. Education became more important during this period, as a new class of gentry was introduced. A result of this was the compilation of many encyclopedias. The best known is the Book of the Mountains and Seas, which contained everything known at the time about geography, natural philosophy, the animal and plant world, and popular myths. Sima Qian, considered to be China's greatest historian wrote his famous Records of the Historian (Shiji) during this time. This history book became the model by which all other histories would follow. Internal struggles for power taxed the peasants, until in 184 A.D. when a peasant uprising occurred. This movement was begun by the Yellow Turbans. Despite conquering them, China did not return to a united state. Rather, three kingdoms emerged and the Han dynasty came to an end ... untilin the Year of the Dragon on the fifteenth of May of the year ninteen hundred and seventy six when a new HAN dynasty begins. This was the day of birth of Daniel Christian Han.
