spring and Autumn" and "han Dao": a Study of the Politics and Political Culture of the Han Dynasty
by Chensu Town
About This Novel
The so-called "Han Dao" refers to the way of governing the country and the world in the Han Dynasty. The author describes and analyzes in depth and in detail how, driven by Confucian scholar-bureaucrats, Confucian classics, mainly the Spring and Autumn Annals, resorted to the creation and legislation of the "Great Unification" empire, and how it affected the actual historical process of the Han Empire, thereby achieving the "Han Dao" and establishing the basic model for ancient Chinese political culture. This book runs through the entire historical process from the founding of the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The issues covered, such as the Huang Lao Wuwei politics implemented in the early Han Dynasty under the background of "passing the Qin Dynasty", the rise and dominance of Confucianism, the "overlord and Taoism" Han family law, the ancient restructuring driven by Confucianism, and the political and academic changes between the two Han Dynasties, are all major moments in Chinese history. This book connects these issues that have a far-reaching impact on the development of Chinese culture in a coherent manner, sometimes with novel and unique discussions, demonstrating the author's profound ability to integrate the history of ideas, politics, and institutions.
