Introduction
The dynamic Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 
        220 CE) witnessed a significant revival in Chinese 
        art, compared to the preceding era of Qin 
        Dynasty art(221-206 BCE). Chinese pottery(notably ceramic figurines), jade carving (notably jade suits), silk weaving 
        and Chinese painting(on paper) were 
        three areas of particular achievement. It is believed, for instance, that 
        the earliest examples of Chinese porcelainwas produced in the province of Zhejiang during the late Eastern Han (100-200 
        CE). Founded by Emperor Gaozu, the Han Dynasty divides into two periods: the Western Han(206 BCE – 9 CE), with its capital at Changan 
        (second only to Rome as the largest city in the ancient world), in present-day 
        Shaanxi Province; and the Eastern Han(25–220 CE) whose capital 
        was further east at Luoyang (the headquarters of the ancient Zhou Dynasty), 
        in present-day Henan Province. A progressive period of Chinese history, 
        the Han Dynasty was responsible for numerous technological and scientific 
        achievements, including water clocks, sundials, astronomical instruments, 
        and the development of paper. Ideologically, it was greatly influenced 
        by the ethics and philosophy of Confucianism, although traces of 
        Legalism and Daoism from the earlier Zhou Dynasty remained. Under Emperor 
        Wudi (141–86 BCE), China regained control of lands first conquered 
        by Emperor Qin Shihuang, including parts of southern China and northern 
        Vietnam. In addition, the subdugation of parts of central Asia in Tajikistan 
        and Uzbekistan gave Han emperors control of important trade routes to 
        Europe, and thus outlets for its silks and gold.
