The dynamic Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) witnessed a significant revival in Chinese art<span>, compared to the preceding era of </span>Qin Dynasty art<span> (221-206 BCE). </span>Chinese pottery<span> (notably ceramic figurines), jade carving (notably jade suits), silk weaving and </span>Chinese painting<span> (on paper) were three areas of particular achievement.

A progressive period of Chinese history, the Han Dynasty was responsible for numerous technological and scientific achievements, including water clocks, sundials, astronomical instruments, and the development of paper. Ideologically, it was greatly influenced by the ethics and philosophy of </span>Confucianism<span>, although traces of Legalism and Daoism from the earlier Zhou Dynasty remained.
