The Eve of the Three Kingdoms: Scholar-official Politics and the Collapse of the Imperial Power of the Eastern Han Dynasty

About This Novel

Young literary and historical writer Zhang Xiangrong's new historical non-fiction masterpiece follows "Auspicious: Wang Mang and His Era". This book mainly tells what the "Second Han Dynasty" was like when it was baptized by the new dynasty, and how Confucianism continued its cultural life after failing to cultivate "philosopher kings". The Eastern Han Dynasty had a relatively mature political and religious system in the early stage, that is, the "Qin system-Confucianism" political system, which was the "underlying logic" to stabilize the Han family. However, the tension among them eventually contributed to the demise of the Qin and Han empires, and the hundreds of years of "unification" collapsed. This book focuses on the nearly 50-year reign of Emperors Huan and Ling in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At the same time, it comprehensively and systematically restores the beginning and end of the disaster of Party imprisonment, carefully examines the mentality, purpose, and behavior of the people in Party imprisonment, and interprets what role Confucianism played in it, how the "politics of scholar-bureaucrats" was finalized, and why it shifted from assisting the Han Dynasty to assisting the Three Kingdoms.
