In 206 BC, Liu Bang's hometown Feng County built the White Emperor Temple to commemorate his White Snake Uprising. It is rumored that the White Snake said: "If you behead you, you will usurp, and if you cut off your tail, you will also usurp." "The Han Dynasty was divided into east and west, and Wang Mang ** became two hundred years. He is known as the "Traveler", but perhaps a more appropriate title is "The King of Understanding".
1. A "saint" who knows how to be the best
In February 16 A.D., heavy ** and heavy snow hit, and the pines and cypresses withered. Wang Mang advertises himself as a "saint", and it is impossible to admit his mistakes. Da Sikong resigned, and Wang Mang overthrew him with "harmless ground movement", but was praised and cleared up of dissent.
When the Changping Pavilion collapsed, Wang Mang called Zhenshui a harbinger of the demise of the Xiongnu, but ignored the need for help from the affected people. The people began to be dissatisfied.
Second, the Huns are well-versed.
Wang Mang misunderstood the Xiongnu and lured and threatened Shan Yu and his family with gold and silver, causing war and humanitarian disasters. His army was ready to fight the Huns, but the actual battle did not perform well.
Wang Mang lost his actual advantage, and the Huns counterattacked. In order to save face, Wang Mang deceived, rewarded, and disguised, but in fact, the border war continued, and the people suffered.
3. Etiquette "understands the king".
Wang Mang restored the Western Zhou ritual system, the court fell into disputes, and the government was chaotic. The well field system and the abolition of the slave trade touched the bottom of society, but there was no real improvement.
Wang Mang only wanted to show the "way of the sage", but it caused public resentment. After all, what he did was contrary to the truth, provoked a popular revolt, and ended his rule.
Wang Mang regarded himself as a "king who understands", but he indulged in self-imagination and failed to touch the real needs, and in the end, the historical evaluation was reduced to a negative one.
Wang Mang, the historical "understanding king", is a controversial figure in ancient Chinese history. During his reign, he tried to shape a social order that was in line with his own ideas and the so-called "understanding king" label. However, his reign has been controversial for its self-will and detached from reality.
Under Wang Mang's rule, he tried to realize what he called the "way of the sage" by rebuilding the ritual system and reforming the political system, but failed to solve the problems of social reality. His behaviors such as "understanding **" and "understanding the Huns" are obviously a manifestation of conceit and detachment from reality. After the ** happened, he regarded it as an auspicious thing, but also an irresponsible attitude, and the indifference to the victims and the unscrupulous strategy against the Xiongnu also led to social turmoil and people's misery.
Although he tried to revive the ancient ritual system, he pursued too much superficial rituals and rituals and neglected the reform and development that society really needed. Wang Mang abolished the slave trade and tried to implement the well-field system, but it failed to effectively solve social problems, but instead aroused more resentment and discontent among the people.
As a ruler, Wang Mang failed to win the approval and support of the people because of his overconfidence and irresponsible way of rule. His disregard for real problems, as well as the purge of courtiers and the common people, eventually led to the collapse of his regime. His way of ruling failed to achieve the purpose of governing the country, but instead brought more contradictions and turmoil to society.
Wang Mang's historical status is a highly controversial issue. He was seen by some as a visionary reformer who tried to establish a new order, but his methods and means were often erroneous and irresponsible. His lack of pragmatism and ability to truly solve problems led to the failure of his rule and the chaos of society.
Overall, Wang Mang's reign was a failed attempt, and his so-called status as a "knowing king" did not bring success to his rule. His overly conceited behavior and irresponsible way of ruling eventually led to the fall of his regime, which became a lesson in ancient Chinese history.
