The Zhen dynasty (Classic Zhenian: 陳朝; Zhen Chao, Modern Zhenian: 진) was an imperial dynasty originating from modern-day eastern Zhenia, particularly the Danguk Peninsula region, from 330 BC to 514 AD. It was preceded by the long age of division throughout Zhenia, and succeeded by the Hundred States Era in mainland Zhenia. Spanning over eight centuries of continuous unified rule, the Zhen dynasty is widely regarded as the first of the four golden ages in Zhenian history - the other three being the Zhou and Han dynasties and the Second Republic. The Zhen dynasty is characterized by the consolidation of a centralized, unitary government under the emperors and territorial holdings that extended beyond the Zhenian subcontinent. Its territory, conquered by centuries of continuous conquests, extended much beyond the domains of present-day Zhenia, expanding from PLACEHOLDER to PLACEHOLDER(2).
