The main rhythm of Chinese history is the feudal dynasty of centralized power, since Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and established the Qin Dynasty, the rise and fall of various regimes alternately appeared on the stage in turn. Although there was a brief period of local power division during this period, it was immediately replaced by the Great Unification Dynasty.
In the long history of China, a total of 83 dynasties have emerged, including a total of 559 emperors. It is worth mentioning that the history of the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties has a striking similarity.
Initially administered by a more wise founding prince, and then passed on for generations, the judicial system led to civil contradictions, coupled with the inaction of future emperors, these accumulated drawbacks will break out little by little, if there can be a Lord of Zhongxing in the middle of the dynasty, then it can be maintained for a period of time, such as the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
If the emperor passes it on to the second generation and starts to act recklessly, he is afraid that the number of qi will be over, such as the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. In history, except for the Southern Song Dynasty, which encountered the Mongolian iron horse that opened the plug-in at that time and was unable to return to heaven, other dynasties can be said to have played themselves to death.
Those royal families who were overthrown always had ambitions to restore the throne, such as the "Third Prince of Zhu" during the Qing Dynasty, Li Keyong who wanted to restore the Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period, but the regime they established either failed or could not be passed on for three generations, and in historical records, only the Han Dynasty succeeded in restoring the country after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
Wang Zhengjun, the empress of the Yuan Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, was the mother of the world for more than sixty years, and successively assisted four emperors, Wang Mang, by virtue of his status as the nephew of Wang Zhengjun, entered the imperial court as an official, and Wang Mang was initially disguised as a diligent and hard-working and resentful appearance, and was loved by the empress dowager and ministers, and he took advantage of this period to recruit celebrities and attract people's hearts.
After the death of Emperor Ai of Han, Wang Mang's official Sima Da, began to grasp the military and political power of the imperial court in the name of Empress Wang, established Emperor Ping of Han on the throne, and married his daughter to him, from then on Wang Mang became the head of the state, and the power fell to the opposition.
After the death of Emperor Hanping in 5 AD, Wang Mang took the opportunity to write to Empress Wang and asked her to take the place of Tianzi linchao to govern, but the empress dowager had no choice but to agree, and Wang Mang immediately became regent and proclaimed himself "regent emperor". In 8 AD, Wang Mang falsely claimed that Providence immediately established himself as emperor, with the name "New".
Because Wang Mang adopted a lot of new policies during his reign, but his policies were capricious, often ideals were greater than reality, which tortured the common people and harmed the interests of the nobility, and the people rose up against Wang Mang's regime.
Liu Xiu was the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, he followed his brother Liu Yan to raise an army in Nanyang, gradually eliminated the separatist forces in various places, and established his own political power in Luoyang under the banner of the Han Chamber, known in history as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty lasted for one hundred and ninety-five years, and a total of fourteen emperors were produced, which is considered to be a relatively long inheritance.
In addition, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, from the founding emperor Liu Bang to the Han Wen Emperor Han Jing Emperor to create the rule of Wen Jing, the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che opened up the territory to expand the territory, and then there were Han Zhao Emperor and Han Xuan Emperor wise and virtuous, in one breath out of 6 Ming Jun, which can be said to be almost non-existent in the history of various dynasties, so it is also the Han Dynasty that does not die in heaven, so that the blood of the Liu family continues to carry forward in the body of Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guangwu.
