This would last for several thousand years in China. Now, as I mentioned, the Qin Dynasty would be short-lived, but then it would be followed by one of the most significant dynasties in Chinese history that really takes the work of the Qin, but makes it a little bit more moderate, and the Han Dynasty is often referred to by Chinese historians as the Golden Age of China. It's a time where Confucian philosophy really becomes dominant. You have significant advances in math, science, and technology. This is an image of the nine chapters on the mathematical art, where ideas like Gaussian elimination and Cramer's rule, things that wouldn't be explored in Europe for over a thousand years, are documented during Han China. You have the famous paper-making emerge during Han China, and as you can see, it lasts for over 400 years. There's a brief period right over here where you have the Qin Dynasty gets established, and that separates the Western Han from the Eastern Han, but this is a significant period of development of Chinese philosophy, Chinese writing, Chinese technology that lasts even until today.
