	History of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emperor Guangwu of Han China reinstated the Han dynasty with the support of land-holding and merchant families at Luoyang, east of Xi'an; hence the new era is termed the Eastern Han Dynasty (東漢朝).
		The Han Dynasty (漢朝) emerged in 202 BC; it was the first dynasty to embrace Confucianism, which became the ideological underpinning of all regimes until the end of imperial China.
		China is one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with written records dating back at least 3,500 years, and with 5,000 years being commonly used by Chinese as the age of their civilization.

		The end of the Han came largely as the result of economic woes--powerful landlords had shifted too much land from the tax rolls, thereby making unbearable the increased burden on the poorer farmers--and intense political factionalism at the imperial court.
