The Pax Sinica was a 400 year period of prosperity and peace in China.

Explanation:

During the rule of the Han emperors, China went through the Pax Sinica, which means Chinese Peace. The Han leaders established a strong central government which helped and protected the people.
The Han rulers ensured peace and prosperity in many ways.

  1. They stored great amounts of food during times of plenty and sold them during difficult times, both stabilizing prices and feeding the public.
  2. They abolished the practice of giving powerful government positions to members of the royal family, instead selecting the most capable leaders through a series of carefully written tests given to the public.
