Also known as the History of the Later Han and by its Chinese name Hou Hanshu

Is one of the Twenty-Four Histories and covers the history of the Han dynasty from 6 to 189 CE

Is the Vietnamese term for Chinese characters

Used to write Literary Chinese and Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary in the Vietnamese language.They were officially used in Vietnam after the Red River Delta region was incorporated into the Han dynasty and continued to be used until the early 20th century where usage of Literary Chinese was abolished alongside the Confucian court examinations causing chữ Hán to fall into obscurity.

1. The Han-Zhao
2. Or Former Zhao

Was a dynastic state of China ruled by the Xiongnu people during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of Chinese history.In Chinese historiography

It was given two conditional state titles

The Northern Han for the state proclaimed in 304 by Liu Yuan

And the Former Zhao for the state proclaimed in 319 by Liu Yao.The reference to them as separate states should be considered misleading

Given that when Liu Yao changed the name of the state from “Han” to “Zhao” in 319

He treated the state as having been continuous from the time that Liu Yuan founded it in 304; instead

He de-established his imperial lineage from the Han dynasty and claimed ancestry directly from Yu the Great of the Xia dynasty.

The Han dynasty coinage system refers to the currency system of the Han dynasty

Which ruled China from 202 BC until 9 AD

When it was overthrown by the Xin dynasty

And again from 25 AD until 220 AD.The most common coin used during the Han dynasty period was the bronze cash coin

While smaller quantities of gold coinages also circulated.During the reign of Emperor Wu in 119 BC a series silver-tin alloy coins was introduced

But due to both unforeseen inflationary effects and rampant counterfeiting it was withdrawn after circulating for only 4 years.The Han dynasty period saw an average annual production of 220

000 bronze cash coins minted.The Han dynasty saw the introduction of the Wu Zhu (五銖) inscription on cash coins

Which would be used for a total 736 years centuries after the end of the Han dynasty

Until it was replaced by the Kaiyuan Tongbao (開元通寳) inscription in 621 AD during the Tang dynasty period.

Han Xin was a Chinese military general and politician who served Liu Bang during the Chu–Han Contention and contributed greatly to the founding of the Han dynasty.Han Xin was named as one of the Three Heroes of the early Han dynasty

Along with Zhang Liang and Xiao He.

The Han dynasty was the second imperial dynasty of China.It followed the Qin dynasty

Which had unified the Warring States of China by conquest.It was founded by Liu Bang.The dynasty is divided into two periods:

The Western Han and the Eastern Han

Interrupted briefly by the Xin dynasty of Wang Mang.These appellations are derived from the locations of the capital cities Chang'an and Luoyang

Respectively.The third and final capital of the dynasty was Xuchang
