This article examines the historical significance of the Qin (221–206 BCE) and Han (206 BCE–220 CE) dynasties in the context of Chinese civilization. The Qin Dynasty, though short-lived, played a crucial role in unifying China, centralizing power, and laying the foundations for imperial rule. The Han Dynasty, which followed, expanded the empire, established a strong bureaucratic system, and made significant advancements in technology, culture, and trade. These two dynasties not only shaped the political and social structure of ancient China but also had a profound influence on East Asia and the world.
