Traditional dynastic date ranges are manipulated to fit a narrative of seamless continuity of succession that was not historically or factually true.

The Han dynasty (漢朝; 202 BCE – 9 CE; 25 CE–263 CE) was the second imperial dynasty of China. Established by Liu Bang after a revolution against the Qin dynasty and a civil war against Xiang Yu, its four century-long lifespan of relative sociopolitical stability, economic prosperity, and cultural flourishing is significant for laying the foundations of Chinese identity and thereby defining its classical period. [citation needed]
History
During the Han dynasty, the Silk Road was a major trade route into China, and it ran through the Western Regions. It was via this road that Buddhism was first introduced into China from India, and the monks responsible for its transmission brought with them śarīra, so that they would be passed down from generation to generation.[1]
