About This Novel
The Han dynasty is divided by historians into two periods, called the Early Han and the Later Han, also known as the Eastern and Western Han. This is because during the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the country and usurped the throne for 18 years. Therefore, the period before Wang Mang was called the Former Han, and the period after Wang Mang was called the Later Han. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" has hundreds of chapters, starting from the first emperor of Qin and ending with Wang Mang's usurpation of the country; this part is connected with the previous part, starting with Wang Mang and ending with the Three Kingdoms. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" is attached to the Qin Dynasty, and "The Romance of the Later Han Dynasty" is attached to the Three Kingdoms. They are relatively opposite, but they are also unique creations. If we want to talk about the rise and fall of the Later Han Dynasty, it is more complicated than that of the Early Han Dynasty: Wang Mang usurped the country, and the trouble was caused by the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty, and the harm caused by his relatives. Guangwu Zhongxing, punishing the past and ignoring the future, took over the power personally and tried to prevent his relatives from intervening in the government; the Ming Emperor was particularly paternal, and the Zhang Emperor was impressive in his early administration; after he was emperor, the country's affairs deteriorated day by day, and relatives and eunuchs fought, and eventually they all died together. The power of the country was in the hands of the state pastors, and the heroes fought for hegemony, and the weak and the strong were able to eat each other, so there were three kingdoms.
