Changes

The Qin dynasty's highly authoritarian approach led to a rebellion which replaced it with the [[Han dynasty]], although many modern scholars agree that it was not the tight rule of Ying Zheng (or "Qin Shihuang Di") that was unpopular; rather, it was the breakdown of the law instituted by the Qin under Ying Zheng's successor that caused unrest and rebellion in 206 BC.  The period following the Qin was a short period of warlords, the two most famous being [[Liu Bang]], the governor of Pei, and [[Xiang Yu]], a nobleman of the former state of Chu.  Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and founded the [[Han Dynasty]], although both are famous in Chinese history and culture, with Xiang Yu being the subject of much of Chinese opera, the famous aria, "Xiang Yu bids farewell to his [[concubine]]" being based on an event in his life according the famous Chinese history, the [[Records of the Historian]] by [[Sima Qian]] of the Han.
