Han really isnt so much a dynasty as a race, a culture, an ethnicity. The Han Chinese are the Chinese majority, just as Han Yu is the Chinese language. The manchus came down and took over China way back when, and imposed the braids, bound feet, and manchu dress on the native population, as a way to enslave and rule them.
