The Han dynasty replaced the Chi'in dynasty in 206 BC and ruled China until AD 220 with only a brief interruption from AD 6 to 23.
Liu Bang was the first Han ruler. Then Empress Lu seized power from 195 to 180 BC and made her infant sons emperors. Han Wudi was the longest serving Han ruler from 141 to 87 BC.
