Features: The Han Dynasty was a period of preliminary development in the feudal society with a local system. The systems and laws formulated by the feudal government had the characteristics of both continuity and innovation. On one hand, they inherited the systems and laws from the pre-Qin and Qin dynasties; on the other hand, they transformed and developed them to establish a brand-new set of systems and laws. The entire process of the formation, development, and decline of Han Dynasty institutions shows that, as feudal institutions, their formation and development were closely related to the quality of feudal politics. This book mainly introduces the emperor system, ritual system, state organ system, official management system, schools and selection, finance, supervision, law, and military systems of the Han Dynasty, including their setup and content.
