A difficult question to answer fully, the Han dynasty saw the reversal of a lot of the rather harsh reforms of the Qin dynasty, although some of these reversal were positive, some positive aspect of the Qin reforms were also beganning to decline backwards because of this.

The most obvious example is that the bureaucracy was once again being dominated by noble familes, where as the Qin was keen on selecting purely based on merits. but the condition that made it possible in the Qin was no longer avalible in the Han (constant war), though in this situation although the Han made some continued attempts to reform, the situation remained largely unchanged (with the exception of times of troubles) really all the way until the Tang dynasty many centuries later.

Although the most serious change in the Han dynasty was the designation of Confucism as the primary state philosophy, the main reason for this change , although also was partially due to political struggles, was also because the Han emperors felt that there needs to be a single dominant philsophy supported by the state to improve central authority.
