For example Han China was a dynasty that lasted about 400 years. Han rulers founded the largest most effective bureaucracy in the preindustrial world. A bureaucracy was a developed political and ecclesiastical community. The Qin dynasty was established in 221 B.C.E. at the end of “The Warring States” period, and fell in 207 B.C.E. During the Qin dynasty the Great Wall of China was built. One ruler during this time was Shi Huangdi who was a tyrant ruler, but united China during a bad political period. China did not have a common religion but believed in different philisophies. These philosophies included Confucianism, Legalism, and Daoism. Confucianism was started by a philosopher that believed that in order to restore peave and power in China you needed to fix key relationships in society, this philosophy also emphasized greatly on morals. Legalism was a philosophy that believed all people were evil and that the government was corrupt and bad. Daoism was a philosophy that believed an individual should seek a way to relate to the basic harmony of nature. There were differences in ideas on how China should be run.
