Explanation:
The Nara period was a time in Japanese history from about year 710 CE to 784. It began when a new capital was established in a city later known as Nara.
In the early A.D. 700s, Japanese emperors built a new capital city called Nara. It had broad streets, large public squares,
Buddhist temples, and Shinto shrines. Nobles' families lived in large, Chinese-style homes. During the Nara period, the
Japanese emperors ranked government officials into a hierarchy. However, they did not follow the Chinese practice of
using examinations to hire officials. Instead, the emperor gave positions to nobles from powerful families. In return for their services, these officials received large farms.
