Comparable in extent and power to the early Roman empire, it dominated east Asia from present-day Vietnam to the Mongolian steppe. Rafe de Crespigny presents here the first full account of this period in Chinese history to be found in a Western language. Commencing with a detailed account of the imperial capital, the history describes the nature of government, the expansion of the Chinese people to the south, the conflicts of scholars and officials with eunuchs at court, and the final collapse which followed the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans and the rise of regional warlords. 410 0$aSinica Leidensia ;$vVolume 134. 607 $aChina$xHistory$yHan dynasty, 202 B.C.-220 A.D 607 $aChina$xKings and ruler$xHistory 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y221 B.C.-220 A.D 676 $a931.04 700 $aDe Crespigny$b Rafe$01571058 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798712803321 996 $aFire over Luoyang$93845164 997 $aUNINA
