Technology-

Throughout the Han Dynasty technology was part of their civilization giving them stable transportation, weapons, and inventions now used across the globe.
STABLE TRANSPORTATION-
The Han Dynasty was concerned about their animals and water source so they had the wealthy farmers build without using powered machines that would ruin their environment. (Violatti). This was a win, win situation for the Chinese knowing that the wealthy workers would get taken care of. The Han Dynasty created the wheelbarrow, for easy transportation around their farms and trading spots. The Wheelbarrow helped the farmers to push a heavy load, rather than carry buckets on their backs (Cotterell). Iron Plowshares were pulled by oxen to carry their workers rather than having many workers on one job.
WEAPONS-
For the Chinese, kites helped them communicate with other civilizations. Some would even say it was like a weapon. Across the Han Dynasty kites were being used to send army salutes or arguments to civilizations far from reach ("The Han Dynasty"). Advances in their iron helped their armor to be strong and have a high quality for fights to come. The strength of this iron also allowed skilled workers to fashion longer swords for their armies(Cummins).
INVENTIONS-
Many inventions were made for farming purposes and to make a day's work faster. The Chinese were very smart about putting their body motions to work in many ways to make their civilization run. Workers used a foot-powered reeling machine to make silk and thread(Morris). They even used a hand-powered winnowing machine that was used to separate the outer shell or husks from the grain(Violatti). This hand-powered machine solved the problems that were happening when using a shaking sieve.

Government-
Without a government, the Han dynasty would just be a blow in the wind considering social classes, leadership, and an organized government that grew among the years.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE-
The hard work that goes into becoming an official is an extreme difficulty regarding the young men having to pass a difficult civil service exam. This was super smart knowing that you had to have workers that knew what they were doing. Different ranks were chosen for different parts of the job, such as a civil servant who were chosen for their ability to work in the bureaucracy. This was great for the community because of the way you couldn't take anyone you had to be smart to get the job("The Han Dynasty").
LEADERSHIP-
Different leaders were memorable for different things but without each one of them, the Han Dynasty wouldn't be the same. Wang man was a government official and a member of a powerful family that took control of the empire by thinking he had the power(Violatti). He also re-establish the social order by changing the landowning structure.
ORGANIZED GOVERNMENT-
The Teachings of Confucianism changed the Han Dynasty for the better. They softened the harsh ruling style of the Qin emperor and brought Confucian ideas back into government ("The Han Dynasty"). The government of China during this time functioned as a bureaucracy which is a large organization that operates using a fixed set of rules and conditions.

Trade/Economy-
Trading and exporting goods was a way for all civilizations to share their differences between food supply, imports/exports, and trade routes.
STABLE FOOD SUPPLY-
The Han Dynasty controlled one of the most wanted trade items at this time, which was salt. Several inventions improved production in agriculture and in the salt industry("The Han Dynasty"). Salt was valued in ancient times because people used it to help preserve meat and vegetables.
IMPORTS/EXPORTS-
Many know that the Han Dynasty invented paper but if you think it was super smart to trade it to. Since the Han Dynasty was the only civilization that knew how to make it, it blew up their trade centers. Not to mention but paper helped different people communicate ("The Han Dynasty"). Although paper was useful as a trading item, silk was the perfect trading item because it was both light and valuable. Along with silk and paper, they also sold dishware, ornaments, jewelry, and decorative boxes ("Silk Road").
TRADE ROUTES-
The opening of the silk road was a major economic achievement for the Han Dynasty. It was a network of shorter trade routes between various stops. Several products faced traders crossing the Taklimakan desert, so to protect themselves before entering the desert they would often form long caravans of camels("Silk Road").

Overall, the Han dynasty was the greatest civilization because of its balanced bureaucracy government, economy risen by the silk road, and efficient inventions. Making it efficient was the main goal of making inventions because it would save time and was better for the environment. Such as kites, kites were great for the environment and saved time in not having to sail/ride across the country to communicate with other armies ("The Han Dynasty"). The social classes were super important to the Han Dynasty considering their low number of jobs. Which was good because everyone could relate and there was more equality("The Han Dynasty"). The silk road was huge for the economy bringing traders from all sorts of places to get silk.

Technology-
Among all the impeccable inventions that were made there were flaws that came with it, with stable transportation came mistakes, and with inventions came more.
STABLE TRANSPORTATION-
Yes, they might have used many incredible solutions to get past problems, but that did sadly came to some other problems of their own. This including the wheelbarrow, it was easy transportation but took time to build and as the population grew more were having to be made(Cotterell). Iron Plowshares for super successful but also added a lot of weight when carrying the load by itself, that soon enough the would start losing oxen.
INVENTIONS-
Making these inventions affected lose in other systems. For example, using body motions was great until the people started to get tired/weak and they would lose half their army (Morris). It also meant that more medication was having to be made to take care of these people, which took the doctors away from many serious problems.

Government-
The government was great until it causes the whole civilization to fall, due to its leadership, and social structure.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE-
Knowing that there were many officials and it was hard to be an official meant that the loss in jobs was extremely high. For instance, you couldn't just be a poor boy on the street and walk up and get this job("The Han Dynasty"). Which made their civilization quite unequal in this manner.
LEADERSHIP-
When the Han dynasty was falling, all their heirs to the throne were died, which would mean his cousin is named empire. The cousin of the empire was in-fact an infant, which gave the power to the family's guardian(Cotterell). Which completely made a mistake to the civilization ruling out the infant.
