later the fall of the classical civilizations from 100 to 600 CE the man experienced many changes. chinas fall was not as drastic as Romes, but it was still worse than Indias. The dilapidate of the Han dynasty caused China to go into three centuries of unrest until the Sui and Tang dynasties came to the rescue. China had more continuities than changes after its fall, un alike(p) the other classical civilizations.China went from a politically centralised civilization with a developed hierarchy with mutual respect of the upper berth and lower classes that followed Confucian ways of obedience and deference to the syncretism of Buddhism and Daoism during 100 to 600 CE because of nomadic invasions, corrupt bureaucracies, and religious fluctuations. However, bureaucracies and Confucianism remained. Chinas collapse began because of out of doors nomadic invasions by the Huns. However, after the three centuries of unrest, the nomads plain tried to bring in into Chinese traditions aft er realizing they did not have anything better to offer.During the centuries of chaos, approximately half of the population was killed by epidemics. Confucianism, a large imprint of the ways of keep in China, became intellectually less active. The bureaucracies became corrupt, which allowed Buddhism to expand to China and threaten its unity. later the bureaucracies corrupted, local landlords picked up power in local neighborhoods. This caused more taxes to the already heavily taxed peasants, causing further social unrest. During this time, Daoisms appeal change magnitude because of its healing practices and magic.A Daoist movement led by the Yellow Turbans (who promised a rosy age) attacked the weak government however, this failed and simply furthered the downward spiral of classical China. After three centuries of unrest in China, the Sui and Tang dynasties stepped in. The Tang dynasty is responsible for the excellent periods of China. This dynasty restored peace to China and revived much of its old ways. Because of the Tang dynasty, China had returned to its Confucian ways as well as bureaucratic. Because of these dynasties, the bureaucratic arranging became more elaborate.Even though the bureaucracy declined during the pandemonium, it never did disappear. The structures of classical China were simply too strong to be completely overturned. Despite the continuities, China did evidence changes after its political and social upheaval. Buddhism had become a major worship in the world because of the expansion eastward during classical Chinas demise. Some Buddhistic beliefs were syncretized into Confucian China. Despite the mark from the minor Buddhist presence, the chaos did not leave any permanent disruption like in Rome. China merely had to recover from a major setback, preferably than reinvent an entire civilization.
