Eastern Han Dynasty

The Eastern Han Dynasty, ruling China from 25 to 220 CE, was a period marked by stability, cultural growth, and technological advancement. It followed the fall of the short-lived Xin Dynasty and was characterized by a strong central government, flourishing arts, and significant developments in science and agriculture. The dynasty saw the spread of Buddhism into China and maintained a complex bureaucracy. However, it also faced internal corruption, political struggles, and peasant rebellions, which eventually led to its decline and the dynasty’s fall. Overall, it was a formative era that helped shape Chinese civilization.
