Question

which practice most directly showed confucian influence on han administration? rotating emperors every five years by lottery; training civil servants through education and exams; outlawing private ownership of farmland; expanding trade by building maritime fleets

Explanation:

Confucianism emphasized education, merit, and proper governance. The Han Dynasty adopted a civil service system where officials were trained and selected through education and examinations, which aligns with Confucian values of promoting learned and virtuous administrators. Rotating emperors by lottery is not a Han or Confucian practice. Outlawing private farmland ownership and expanding trade via maritime fleets are not directly tied to Confucian influence on administration.

Answer:

B. Training civil servants through education and exams
