The Qin dynasty (221-206 BCE) was under the rule of Qin Shi Huang (260-210 BCE). During this time (of the dynasty), currency, weights and measures were standardized, and a uniform system of writing was established. The Great Wall of China was built along the northern border, as an acting death camp, due to the fact the the government used peasants as slaves until they died; hence the rumor that the Great Wall of China was built off of the workers corpses. During this time, Emperor Shihuangdi also had a massive burning and killing of Confucius scholars and their work.
The Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) was founded by the peasant rebel leader Liu Bang (Emperor Gaozu). The Hans dynasty is divided into two periods: the Western Han (206 BCE-9 CE) and the Eastern Han (25-220 CE). "The Han Dynasty ruled in an era of Chinese cultural consolidation, political experimentation, relative economic prosperity and maturity, and great technological advances."
