Although state Qin unified the China, the great regime collapsed soon. This is because the prolonged war and the tyrannical control of Emperor Qin Shihuang have forced many people to rebel. One of the rebel leader Liu Bang has finally overrun the Qin and established Han Dynasty (BC206 - AD 220). In this period., Ban Liang and Wu Zhu coins are dominant.  Wu Zhu coin, which has been cast by numerous dynasties, and stopped in Tang dynasty (AD608 -AD907), claims the longest span of circulation period in Chinese history. In the three Kingdoms period (AD220 -AD265), China has been divided in to 3 states again. This situation is remained in Jin dynasty (AD265-420) and Northern and Southern dynasty (AD420 -599). As wars frequently erupted between small regimes in this period, the economy is not advanced and the mintage of the coins is small. In AD599, China is reunified by general Yang Jian and he established Sui Dynasty (AD599 - AD617).
