Han Dynasty

Hi, Ping here; I'm a blacksmith in China which is currently under the rule of the Han Dynasty.  I'll tell ya, the Han Dynasty is really making some history.  What has really stood out so far during the reign of the Han is the extension of the Great Wall of China.  About 380 years ago in 206 BC an engineer named Liu Bang really planned to make progress on the Wall and has.  The Wall has been extended west a considerable amount and signal towers have been placed closer and closer in regards to eachother, upping our military communication and efficiency.  Also, under the Han dynasty the population of China has grown to 50 million people!  But there is a new power growing, and is planning to take over the Han Dynasty in 184 CE- I think they'll successfully overthrow them. 

Check back with you later,
Ping
