Han Dynasty (jan 1, 22 BC – jan 1, 20 BC)
Description:
The Han dynasty was founded in 206 BCE by Liu Bang, who led the revolt against the repressive policies of the preceding Qin dynasty and became the Gaozu emperor (reigned 206–195 BCE).
The Western Han period continued a lot of the Qin's policies, but modified them with Confucian ideals. Because of this, the Han lasted far longer than the harsher Qin Dynasty- the Western Han period in particular lasted until 9 CE, when there was a brief rebellion. One of the most exalted Han emperors was Emperor Wu
approx 206 BC – 220 AD (Three Kingdoms came after)
