Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and the heroes came to an end; Yan and Liu founded the country, and the world was unified! A great nation has a name since then: Han. This book describes the outbreak of the Chu-Han War in 206 BC to the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 220 AD. The politics, military, economy, and culture of the Han Dynasty are presented to readers one by one in the form of historical scrolls.
How did Liu Bang go from commoner to anti-Qin hero? With women in charge of the country, was the emperor in Queen Lu's era actually a fake? Is the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" a power reshuffle? One hundred thousand bones in exchange for a bloody BMW? Who is to blame for the witchcraft disaster that caused rivers of blood? Is Zhaojun indispensable for his coming out of the fortress? Who was the romantic emperor who died in Gentle Township? Falling into the "sleeve-cutting habit" and even giving up the throne? Is Wang Mang a saint or a conspirator? When the Eastern Han Dynasty was founded, only Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuyun crowned hundreds of kings? The young emperor Liu Zhao seized power through a coup. Who were the supporters behind it? In the dark ages and the prison of the Party, the countdown to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty has entered?
The rule of Wenjing and Mingzhang, the prosperous age of Hanwu and Yongyuan; hundreds of schools of thought were deposed and Confucianism was respected only; the reputation of the Silk Road spread far and wide; the barbarians were pushed away to expand the soil and the stones were carved; those who offended the powerful Han Dynasty would be punished no matter how far away they were! The 410-year reign of the Han Dynasty spanned from the Peasant War at the end of Qin to the deposed Emperor Xian of Han, from the Red Eyebrow Army to the Yellow Turban Army, from the Xiongnu to the Qiang, and from the power of relatives to the power of eunuchs. The once prosperous empire finally collapsed. Based on rich historical materials, with vivid language and rigorous historical attitude, this book truly restores the longest-lived feudal dynasty in Chinese history after the Qin Dynasty. Watch the kings and generals in the prosperous times perform scenes of historical dramas of power chess and people's disapproval.
