Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools, and Confucianism became the ruling ideology of China for thousands of years. Imperial academy was first established in Chang 'an, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to study Confucian classics. There were as many as 30 thousand students at one time.
