This book explores the impact of witchcraft, alchemy and prophecy on the political behavior, political evolution and changes of the political system in the Han Dynasty. Throughout it is the issue of the verification methods of witchcraft, alchemy and prophecy. Wizards and alchemists gained widespread trust in witchcraft and alchemy by creating an atmosphere of spiritual experience, and prophecies often came true in the political practice of the Han Dynasty. This was the main reason for the popularity of prophecies. The selection and acceptance of historical materials by history writers was also closely related to whether witchcraft, alchemy, and prophecies were proven.
