The Han Dynasty was the first golden period in the history of China's development, and the Han Chinese were named during this period. Although the names of the dynasties have changed since the Han Dynasty, the status of the Han as the main ethnic group in China has remained unchanged.

Western Han (202 BC – 8 AD)

Wei, Jin, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were the most frequent period of regime change in Chinese history, mainly divided into the Three Kingdoms (Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu), Western Jin, Eastern Jin, Sixteen Kingdoms, Northern and Southern dynasties.

The development of Chinese culture during this period was particularly affected by the long period of feudal fragmentation and continuous wars. At the same time, this period was also a period of great change in the history of ancient Chinese costumes, with dress styles tending to diversify.
