Detailed explanation-1: -The Han copied the highly centralized Qin administrative structure, dividing the country into a series of administrative areas ruled by centrally appointed officials and developing a salaried bureaucracy in which promotion was based primarily on merit.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did Han Gaozu’s decision to keep the Qin system of a merit-based bureaucracy help the Han dynasty switch from Legalism to Confucianism? This helped it because the people agreed with this more and there wouldn’t be any more harsh consequences for small crimes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Appointees to office were usually recommended men from the commanderies, family relatives of high officials, or student graduates of the Imperial University. This institution was established in 124 BC, and provided a Confucian-based education for those entering civil service.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Han Dynasty began with a peasant revolt against the Qin Emperor. It was led by Liu Bang, son of a peasant family. Once the Qin Emperor was killed there was a war for four years between Liu Bang and his rival Xiang Yu. Liu Bang won the war and became emperor.
