The Han Dynasty was oneof the most influential and one of the powerful dynasties because of what theydid while they were at power in China and here is how they began. In the yearof 206 B.C., the Han Dynasty was formed and it became the dynasty that ruledChina from then. The Han dynasty was the dynasty that had overthrown the Qindynasty which was the dynasty that had been in rule of China before them. TheHan Dynasty was started by a man named Liu Bang and soon he also had gained therole of becoming the Gaozu Emperor. Liu Bang was one of the people who wereresponsible for the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty as he had made his own armyafter the Qin Dynasty had diminished and then took over the throne.
Accordingto the “Ancient History Encyclopedia”, “Liu Bang was the first Chinese Emperorwho was originally a commoner.” It was from there that Liu Bang had establishedmany different things and one of these things had occured within Chang?am andwithin Chang?am became the imperial capital. The city of Chang?am from thatpoint foward became a very important city because according to the “AncientHistory Encyclopedia”, “the city turned into a political, economic, military,and cultural centre of China.” It was soon later that the Emperor of Ghazou hadpassed and then it was time for someone else to take over the throne in the HanDynasty Era. It was then tht the Han Dynasty had encountered on the manysturggles that their dynasty would experience which was someone else wanted totake the throne, but the problem was that the person who wanted to take overthe Dynasty was not a Han.
This person was known as Lü Hou and she was avery greedy person and she had killed almost all of Liu Bang’s kids so thatthere would be no other Heirs to the throne and then she would be the one totake over the throne and thus a new dynasty would have started. Little did sheknow that there was still one son of Liu Bang who was still alive and his namewas Emperor Wen and because he was one the last sons that survived from thekillings, he gained heir to the throne and because he had found out what Lü Houtried to do, he ended up doing the same to her by killing all of the members ofher family or as much as he could at the time, the Han dynasty would still liveon. It was soon later that the Han Dynasty would start to do things that werebeneficial for China and would help China become the Country they are today.
