But the Han Dynasty is considered the Golden Age of China. Now under the Han Dynasty, Confucianism really took hold and became the dominant philosophical structure of China, and to some degree would stay that way. Now at the end of the Han Dynasty, China goes into a chaotic period for several hundred years until we get to the sixth century when the Sui Dynasty is able to finally reunify China for the most part. And in that interim, Confucianism starts to give way to some degree to both Taoism and Buddhism, these things that are more focused on the spiritual, areas where Confucianism was not as interested. And what's interesting about Buddhism, even though it started in India, famously Ashoka in the third century BCE really becomes a patron of Buddhism and even sends missionaries out to spread it, and it comes to China via Central Asia and Southeast Asia, it really takes on a uniquely Chinese nature as it enters China. Really, it eventually evolves into Mahayana Buddhism. And under the Tang Dynasty, which is considered one of the high points of Chinese civilization, Buddhism is really able to take hold, especially in the early Tang Dynasty.
