Main Religion/Beliefs During The Han

        
          During the Han Dynasty, the most common religion was Taoism. Taoism was based upon making less rules/laws and being apart of nature and also living a balanced life.This religion is important to the Han Dynasty because they wanted to live a life were they don't have to fight for what they need. They can live a well life doing whatever they want to do without many rules to follow in their Dynasty  The ruler or emperor can be less strict and have less stress with rules and laws in his Dynasty. This helps the emperor because his people will love him even more because they don't follow that many rules.

          The other belief/ philosophy was Confucianism. Confucianism made people feel trusted and secure. Confucianism is based on if people with authority behave well, then people bellow them would follow their example. If the government let people have freedom, the people would more likely trust the government. This practice is good because it does not have many rules/laws. But on the other hand this practice was not as popular as Taoism and Buddhism. For this Dynasty they both were okay.  But all these beliefs or religions helped build the Dynasty more then before.
