He established the Han Dynasty, which ruled over a united China from 206 BC until 220 AD. As the founding emperor, Liu Bang enacted major reforms, including centralizing imperial authority, reducing the power of the feudal nobility, and promoting Confucian ideals of meritocracy and civil service. Under his leadership, the Han Empire expanded its influence and territory dramatically, leading to a golden age of cultural, economic, and technological advancement. The Han Dynasty founded by Liu Bang proved to be the longest-lasting imperial house in Chinese history, and its legacy continued to hold great prestige even after its fall.
