The Qin Empire and the Han dynasty were similar in the sense that they were both ruled by powerful emperors, had agricultural-based economies, and had strong central governments. However, they were different in their beliefs (Qin believed in the Mandate of Heaven, while the Han believed in legalism), economic outcomes (only the Han experienced significant economic benefits from the Silk Road), farming methods and crops, and governance structures (the Han used a civil service system, while the Qin did not).
