Social Class
Some classes weren't treated as they should have been at the time. Girls were especially mistreated (Nelson). Sometimes if a new baby was a girl, she would be put outside to die (Nelson).

The Han's culture was the greatest because of it's great social class, beliefs, and literature.

Social Class
The social class consisted of the emperors, aristocrats, the farmers, the artists, and the servants and convicts (Unger).

Beliefs
The Hans believed in the religion, Confucianism (Unger). Confucianism mainly focused on education, respect to elders (filial piety), and humane behavior (Hackney). Almost everyone today still keeps those thoughts in their minds (Hackney). For example: you always hold a door for someone that is older than you.

Literature
The Han also took into literature, such a poetry (Emmons). Scholars and politicians used to quote from the Classic of Poems, which was an ethos (Emmons).

The Han's technology was the greatest because of the great inventions, industry, and weaponry.

Inventions
One invention that the Han made was a chain pump (Bower). It helped the farmers bring water up from canals and low irrigation ditches to the fields easily (Bower). The Han also invented the wheelbarrow and a special plow (Bower).

Industry
The Han was in charge of the 2 most important industries, silk and salt (Bower). Silk was very hard to produce so it was very valuable and only the Chinese could make it (Bower). This made the Hans very wealthy for trading the special material (Bower).

Weaponry
The Han's new, creative weapons helped them excel in warfare (Bower). The Han were the first to really use swords and crossbow (Bower). The swords were made extra long so the soldier could swing at the enemy at a safer distance (Bower). And the crossbow, which was almost exactly like today's bow and arrow, just horizontal (Bower).
