Producto: Chinese History 5: A Basic Chinese Reading Book, Imperial China’s Han Dynasty and Ancient Civilization (Simplified Characters, Graded Reader Series Level 2) (English Edition)
The Han Dynasty (汉朝, 206 BCE–220 CE) was the second great imperial unification dynasty of China. The dynasty, with 24 recognized emperors, ruled China for over 400 years. The reign of the Han Dynasty is broadly divided into the Western Han Dynasty (西汉) and the Eastern Han Dynasty (东汉). The period of the Han Dynasty is termed as the golden age in Chinese history. As such, the dynasty contributed in several socio-economic fields, such as the opening of the Silk Road (丝路), the invention of paper, adoption of Confucianism as the state religion, developing first Chinese dictionary, etc. In fact, it was during the Han Dynasty that Sima Qian (司马迁), the great Chinese historian, wrote the treatise 《史记》: Shiji (“Records of the Grand Historian”). No wonder, since the Han Dynasty, the Huaxia ethnic group has been gradually known as the Han ethnic group (汉族/汉人), or Han nationality, the main ethnic group in China.
