Only those who truly understand history can understand it!

Not as good as Liu Bang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wen Jing, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Maybe Wang Mang was not as good as them in his life. He was just a side character and became a powerful minister through the back door. The first powerful official in history to change dynasties set a precedent for subsequent powerful officials to follow suit. That's why Wang Mang was mythologized. In fact, he was just an ordinary powerful official.

Very good book

The first thing I read is Wang Mang's writings. .

Some of Wang Mang's policies are indeed very advanced and may change Chinese history if successful. However, his reforms also had omissions, which ultimately led to their failure. This made me understand that reform requires comprehensive consideration and appropriate implementation methods, not just good ideas. I think this book is worth reading and allows us to learn from history.

Finished reading on July 11, 2024, very satisfied with the online shopping

It comprehensively explains Wang Mang's life, with objective analysis, pertinent evaluation, vivid content, and lifelike character descriptions. It is worth reading carefully.
