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. It is believed, for instance, that the earliest examples of </span>Chinese porcelain<span> was produced in the province of Zhejiang during the late Eastern Han (100-200 CE). Founded by Emperor Gaozu, the Han Dynasty divides into two periods: the </span>Western Han<span> (206 BCE – 9 CE), with its capital at Changan (second only to Rome as the largest city in the ancient world), in present-day Shaanxi Province; and the </span>Eastern Han<span> (25–220 CE) whose capital was further east at Luoyang (the headquarters of the ancient Zhou Dynasty), in present-day Henan Province. 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. Under Emperor Wudi (141–86 BCE), China regained control of lands first conquered by Emperor Qin Shihuang, including parts of southern China and northern Vietnam. In addition, the subdugation of parts of central Asia in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan gave Han emperors control of important trade routes to Europe, and thus outlets for its silks and gold. By 166 CE, a direct link to Rome had been established, resulting in imports of ivory and tortoiseshell.</span>
More Americans were able to buy homes after the WWII because of the purchasing power of the American Dollar. In order for the country to experience a drastic economic change, it had to change its policies about taxes, cost of living, and personal wages of its people. So during that time period, people had a lot of money and decided to change their old ways of living in the city and moving into the suburbs to buy a lot and build their own houses there. They found that life was more peaceful and quaint as compared to the city life that's why there was a boom in suburban life after the WW.
Modern India is based on the Indus Valley Civilization.
Historical evidence suggests over six thousand years ago a massive wave of migration took place into the Indus Valley from Central Asia. Why such a huge population of people resettled from their homelands into the Indus Valley is not known, however, what is known is that they brought them various traditions, cultures and languages that completely changed the fate of the region for the coming years.
Alongside new language and culture, they bought in a religion that had a vast impact on the belief system of the local people.
Hence, it is clear that modern Hinduism actually grew from a mixture of local religious beliefs with those of Central Asian nomads who moved here.
