Jobs and Life in the Han DynastyThe Han Dynasty was ruled by Han Gaozu and lasted four hundred years, starting in 206 BC and ending in 220 AD. This was a key time for ancient China:
  • Confucianism became the state approved doctrine.
  • Public schools were started for boys and jobs were given to educated people.
  • Many people profited from the silk trade after roads across the desert, called the Silk Road, were built in order to trade with the Roman Empire.
  • The arts and science flourished.
  • Acupuncture was invented
  • Paper was invented.
  • A machine was invented to tell people when an earthquake was occurring.

Farmers still worked very hard but were a little better off because families got together and combined their efforts. This meant that sometimes they had extra food to trade. The rich were still living well, with elaborate homes and tombs decorated with stone lions. The rich did not send their kids to public schools but had them tutored. Their robes were lined with silk and in the winter, they wore fur coats and leather slippers.

What? No! Such utter sarcasm and failed humor! Nobles in Ancient China served the King by doing important tasks from running errands to deciding whether or not to put a criminal life behind bars or execute them on the spot.
