They also have differences in the period of decline between Qin and Han is that Shi the who were the Qin ruler were a strict ruler who forced people to work in the great wall of china and work on things like building canals, many people died while working and the leader Shi ignored the needs of the workers, the Han ruler did not have a strong army and they
Both the dynasties knew that good trade could help the economic system so they encouraged it as much as possible. This also is part of the reason they repaired the trading canal. Although both dynasties are similar they
Rome and China are two highly developed civilizations. The Roman Empire began slightly later than the Han dynasty but it was not inferior in terms of vastness or political structure. Han China and Imperial Rome both lasted for about 500 years. They coexisted with the other civilization not knowing much more than each others existence. Politically, they had quite a lot of dissimilarities yet with that comes likenesses as well.
In the period of prosperity, the Song dynasty and the Tang dynasty are similar with their ways in which they fought to be safe from other armies and smart when working to improve their dynasty. In the dynastic cycle, the Song and Tang dynasty showed similar periods of prosperity. In the beginning, the Song dynasty was very successful. Due to the period of rebellion that tore apart the Tang dynasty, The Songs decided they would have a test so they could only have the strongest army to prevent any period of rebellion.
The Han Dynasty and Roman Empire were prominent globalizing empires that created lasting legacies for many years to come. The empires were able to do what most have failed to do previously. They were both able to successfully incorporate their enemies and neighbors into their realms. In doing so, they were able to amass a population of about 60 million. Even though both empires had many things in common, they exhibited some key distinguishing differences.
On the other hand, China believed that they were being protected by the spirits. For example, if it was storming, the civilizations thought that something they did was wrong. Even though the two civilizations were similar in terms of their economic structures and religious views, they were different throughout their expressions of

In the Dynastic cycle, the Tang and Qing Dynasties of ancient China showed similar periods of Prosperity, but also had some differences. The period of Prosperity is all the things that te dynasty did to earn the Mandate of Heaven. So everything that the Tang and Qing Dynasties did that was good for China will be shown. Let’s start of with the similarities. For example, they were both confucians, which means they both believed the system of ethics, loving life, and education.
Anthara: Capital cities served as economic, political and cultural centers of the Sui, Tang and Song Empires. The Sui Dynasty was a time of Chinese reunification after Han conflicts and wars-therefore, the capital served as a main harbor point in the unifying Grand Canal for widespread trade and currency unification. The Tang Dynasty was a time of cultural flowering, so the cosmopolitan capital was important in cultural diffusion, the height of Buddhist influence. The Song Dynasty was an era of significant economic and social changes: the monetization of the economy; growth in commerce and maritime trade; urban expansion and technological innovations, reflecting on Hangzhou being the central harbor of maritime trade. Newly built capitals took on the role of older capitals with the construction of modern buildings, Hangzhou, as they became the new political and economic trade centers(KC 3.3 II C).
The Han Dynasty in China and the Roman Empire shared many similarities and differences when it came to political rule and the nature of their political authority. The most significant difference between the two is how the Han dynasty enacted policies that were shaped to counter the wrongdoings of the previous Qin dynasty, whereas the Roman Empire enacted policies shaped to create and promote peace and stability. The difference in the two empire’s coming to power was to account for their variance in political rule. After the Qin dynasty, the Han ruled China for four centuries, enacting numerous political changes and governing one of the most efficacious dynasties in Chinese history.
The Attitude the Chinese had towards the tolerance of labor was more efficient and positive rather than thee Romans who relied more on an efficient systematic and class divided society. These empires where established roughly at different time periods but didn’t end the same. The Roman empire was established from 31 B.C.E to 476 C.E and the Chinese empire was established from 206 B.C.E to 220 C.E.

China’s Han dynasty and the Romans valued technology in their civilizations, but they used technology for different reasons to accommodate their empire. The Hans relied heavily on agriculture and developed technology to make labor easier and more efficient, which is depicted by some of their technology like iron metallurgy and water systems. In contrast, the Romans focused primarily on science and mathematics, so the intellectuals looked down on technology as it was used by slaves and for their labor. Han China’s attitude towards technology was more appreciative and focused on its benefits toward labor than the Romans who viewed technology as inferior and for the laborers in their class-divided society. All the documents written by the Han,
The Qin and Han employed different philosophies on how to run their dynasties. The Qin used controlling Legalistic ideas while the Han used the relationship building Confucianism. The Qin and Han had a different relationship with outsiders because the Qin preferred to keep foreigners out while the Han wanted to build a relationship with them. The Qin and the Han each contributed to the growth of China’s culture and expansion. The developments in trade, foreign relations, and building expansive building projects in the Qin and Han Dynasties effected the design of every dynasty
In my undergraduate studies, I was first drawn to deconstruction and phenomenology after being astounded by philosophy’s reframing of theology’s conception of truth and understanding of ontology. Continental philosophy offered astute observations about the way human beings think and feel in the world in ways that theology felt wanting. Thus, I did further studies into continental philosophy in dialogue with my theological studies. I pursued a continuation of graduate studies in theology to continue research of how faith pertains to justice and to philosophy. My main concern in studying philosophy alongside theology – and reason for interest in graduate study of philosophy – is to be able to clearly articulate the implications of a phenomenology
Both of these dynasties are very similar, especially the fact that both were culturally rich and known to be “Golden Ages” in Chinese history. Both of these dynasties saw many advances in technology, with the invention of the compass and paper. Trade with other countries was a major occurrence during both the Han and Song Dynasty. Another factor that connects these two dynasties is the fact that they both use a common written language for those who were educated. The examination taken in order to receive a government position that was started during the Han Dynasty was also used during the Song Dynasty, so that people born into class were not automatically given government positions, but those who were intellectual and capable to hold a position were given the opportunity.
