　　The Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) is a unified dynasty following the Qin, Western Han and Xin Dynasties and known as the "Two Han Dynasties" together with the Western Han Dynasty. Also known as the "Later Han Dynasty", the Eastern Han Dynasty had Luoyang as its capital, to the east of Chang’an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. So it was called the Eastern Han Dynasty in history. Spanning 195 years with 14 emperors, it consolidated the centralization of the Western Han Dynasty and maintained social stability, and exceeded the Western Han Dynasty in the development of culture, technology, military and diplomacy. In that period, Buddhism was introduced to China and Taoism also began to take shape.
