Is Han China the same as China?
What exactly do you mean by "Han China"? I asked a Chinese classmate and she said there isn't a term called "Han China" in Chinese.
Answer:
The Han Dynasty ruled China from 206 BCE-220 CE. It followed the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) and preceded the Three Kingdoms (220-265 CE). The Han Dynasty is considered a golden age in Chinese history. Even today China's majority ethnic group refers to itself as the "Han people"
So in answer:
- The Han Dynasty rued all of present day China about 2000 years ago.
- Present day China feels ties to the Han Dynasty
Should old china be washed annually to prevent dry rot?
"Dry rot" (usually fungal decay of cut and cured wood) does not affect ceramic materials, such as your china.
As a case in point, my parents own a centuries-old Chinese vase dating to the early Ming dynasty. Though it is not a significant million-dollar piece, it is a definitive example of "old china". It is kept in a case, and is never washed. One can assume that conditions have been similar through most of its existence.
