Han (hän), dynasty of China that ruled from 202 B.C. to A.D. 220. Liu Pang, the first Han emperor, had been a farmer, minor village official, and guerrilla fighter under the Ch'in dynasty.

However, the harsh laws of the Ch'in were repealed, taxes were lightened, the absolute autocracy of the emperor was lessened, and, most importantly, Confucianism was made the basis of the state. The pyramidal bureaucracy of Ch'in administration was retained, and the Han period saw the beginnings of one of the distinguishing features of the Chinese educational and state system, the recruiting of members of the bureaucracy through civil service examinations. The dynasty attained its greatest territorial expanse under the emperor Wu Ti (reigned 140 B.C.–87 B.C.), who extended Han power W to Xinjiang and Central Asia, N to Manchuria and Korea, and S to Yunnan, Hainan island, and Vietnam.

The Han emperors ruled for 400 years with one interruption; in A.D. 8 an agrarian reformer usurped the throne and established the Hsin dynasty. This short-lived dynasty has come to mark the division between the Early, or Western, Han period and the Later, or Eastern, Han period, which began A.D. 25, when the Han capital was moved east to Luoyang. The entire Han era was one of political and cultural centralization and expansion. The writing brush and paper and ink came into wide use and the manufacture of porcelain had its beginnings in this period. Many classic texts were edited, and the first dictionary was compiled. The coming of Buddhism increased cultural ties with India and parts of the Middle East. Trade with border states was increased to pacify these regions and to gain their allegiance. The dynasty collapsed c.A.D. 220 and was followed by some 350 years of smaller political units, including the Three KingdomsThree Kingdoms, period of Chinese history from 220 to 265, after the collapse of the Han dynasty.

The Han Dynasty is divided into the Western, or Former (Old), Han, which lasted from 206 B.C. to 25 A.D.; and the Eastern, or Later (New), Han, which lasted from 25 A.D. to 220 A.D. Chinese historians often treat as a discrete period the reign of Wang Mang (9–23 A.D.) and the two-year reign of Liu Hsiian (Keng Shih), which immediately followed; by this reckoning, the Western Han lasted from 206 B.C. to 8 A.D. The founder of the Han Dynasty, Liu Pang, united the country and created a strong centralized empire. Liu Pang’s policy of granting extensive territories to his close associates and to members of the imperial clan, however, led to the fragmentation of the country. The principalities formed as a resuit of his policy had their own troops, finances, and administration and became independent kingdoms hostile to the central government. Central authority was strengthened during the reign of the emperors Ching-ti (156–141 B.C.) and, especially, Wu-ti (140–87 B.C.). The Han Dynasty adopted the ideas of Confucianism, which became the official ideology under Wu-ti. The Han waged wars of conquest in the north and northwest against the Hsiung-nu, in the west against the Ch’iang tribes, in the east and northeast against the Koreans, the Wu-huan, and the Hsien-pei, and in the south and southwest; these wars greatly extended the boundaries of the empire. During the Han Dynasty commercial and cultural contacts were established with the states of Middle Asia and India. The Western Han Empire was brought to an end by the peasant uprisings of the Red Eyebrows (seeRED EYEBROW REBELLION) and the Dwellers in the Green Forests (17–27 A.D.). The Eastern Han Empire collapsed as a result of the peasant uprising of the Yellow Turbans, which took place between 184 and 204 (seeYELLOW TURBANS, REBELLION OF THE), and strife among feudal military cliques.
