Course Description

 In this lecture, we will examine the history from the fall of the Qin 秦 dynasty to the establishment of the Han 漢 dynasty in ancient China. The Qin dynasty unified China for the first time. However, it will be destroyed in just 15 years. What was the reason? In addition, after the fall of the Qin dynasty, Xiang Yu 項羽 and Liu Bang 劉邦 fought fiercely for five years, and then Liu Bang won and founded the Han dynasty. Then, how was the Han dynasty founded? We will consider these issues in detail based on the latest research results.
