WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Confucian Revival Confucianism gained popularity among Han royalty around 135 B.C. during the early reign of Emperor Wu. Confucianism had stayed alive in China thanks to the efforts of intellectuals like Fu Sheng, who managed to keep some Confucian literature during the Qin Dynasty and beyond.

Detailed explanation-2: -End of the Qin Dynasty In two years time, most of the empire had revolted against the new emperor, creating a constant atmosphere of rebellion and retaliation. Warlord Xiang Yu in quick succession defeated the Qin army in battle, executed the emperor, destroyed the capital and split up the empire into 18 states.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Han Empire quickly broke down as a series of warlords fought each other for control. One, Cao Cao, who had possession of the young emperor Xian, tried to unify China, but ultimately failed. After Cao Cao died in 220 CE, the emperor Xian was forced to give up his position, officially ending the Han Dynasty.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
