The Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) established the cultural, political, and intellectual foundations of Chinese civilisation that have endured to the present day. China's ethnic majority β 92% of the population β still calls itself Han Chinese. The dynasty established the civil service examination, Confucian governance principles, the Silk Road trade routes, paper manufacturing, and a bureaucratic imperial system that lasted in modified form until 1912.
