Solution
- Han dynasty, founded by Liu Pang, flourished for 400 years (206 BC to AD 220).
- The most popular and powerful ruler was Wu Ti.
- His generals succeeded in driving away the Huns in the north.
- Thus the Han Empire once again threw open the silk road for trade.
- A large export trade, mainly in silk, reached as far as the Roman Empire.
- In the north, artisans and herders of rival “barbarian” dynasties brought in new techniques like the methods of harnessing horses, use of saddle and stirrup, techniques of building bridges and mountain roads, and seafaring.
- Such innovations made Han Empire prosperous.
