The Western Han Dynasty was another great unified dynasty in Chinese history, which lasted for 210 years after 14 emperors. Its founder, Liu Bang, rose to prominence in the chaos of the peasant uprising at the end of Qin, and after defeating Xiang Yu in the battle between Chu and Han, he ascended the throne as emperor in Dingtao, Shandong, and the country name was Han, known as the Western Han Dynasty.
After Liu Bang, the capital of the Han Dynasty was Chang'an, and under his leadership, the Western Han Dynasty began to implement the Tui En Decree and open up the Silk Road, opening up Korea to the outside world, Vietnam in the south, Leng Ling in the west, and Yinshan in the north, creating a prosperous era of Han Wu.
However, after Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he indulged in wine, abandoned political affairs, and resigned himself to his relatives, which made the power of the court controlled by the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun and her family, which laid a hidden danger for Wang Mang to usurp the Han Dynasty.
Decades later, Wang Zhengjun's nephew Wang Mang forced Liu Yingchan to surrender to the Han Dynasty and establish a new dynasty, which led to the demise of the Western Han Dynasty.
2.Xuanhan is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, Liu Xuan, in the context of Wang Mang's failed reform of the new dynasty and successive years of famine, was embraced as the emperor by the Green Forest Army, and the restoration of the country was called Han. However, after Liu Xuan destroyed the new dynasty and killed Wang Mang, he began to corrupt and degenerate, crowding out Liu Xiu and the generals of the Red Mei Army, who had made outstanding achievements.
In the end, Liu Xuan was defeated and surrendered under the attack of the Red Mei Army and Liu Xiu's two-way army, and the Xuanhan Dynasty, which had only existed for two years, perished.
1.Title: Liu Xiu, who was born in the Green Forest, achieved the prosperity of the Eastern Han Dynasty Description: Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, came from the Green Forest Army. After he broke with Liu Xuan, he ascended the throne in Hebei and became the emperor, continuing to use Han as the national name, and was known as the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu in history.
After Liu Xiu leveled the separatist forces in various places, he reunified the whole country, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty reached a prosperous era in history under the governance of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Zhao, known as the "Long of Yongyuan" in history.
However, the mediocrity and tyranny of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han, coupled with the rivalry of eunuchs and relatives, overwhelmed the peasants and led to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly put down, it also led to the rise of local powers and the loss of real power of the emperor.
In the end, Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and seized the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty after his death, established the Cao Wei regime, and the Eastern Han Dynasty perished. 2.Title: Liu Xiu and the History of the Rise and Fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty Description: Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was born in the Green Forest Army.

Shu Han, with "Han" as the national name, was pioneered by Liu Bei and lasted 43 years. Liu Bei regarded himself as a descendant of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and after years of turmoil, he finally won Jingzhou and Yizhou after the Battle of Chibi.
When Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and built Wei, and the news that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been killed by Cao Pi, Liu Bei established himself as the emperor in Chengdu in order to continue the glory of the Han Dynasty, with the country name Han and the history known as Shu Han.
However, Guan Yu was unfortunately killed in the Battle of Eastern Wu, and Liu Bei led his army to take revenge, only to be defeated and died soon after. Although Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei made several northern expeditions to Cao Wei, they failed to achieve the goal of restoring the Han dynasty, and Shu Han fell into successive wars, gradually depleting the national strength, and was finally destroyed by Cao Wei, which was controlled by Sima Zhao.
1.Xiongnu Han State: Founded by the Xiongnu nobleman Liu Yuan, it has gone through 5 emperors and enjoyed the country for 25 years. Due to the drastic decline in the population of the Central Plains, Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty continued to appease the internal migration of ethnic minorities, so that the number of Xiongnu who moved in the past hundred years reached 700,000, 1 million Di people, and 2.5 million Xianbei people.
When the Rebellion of the Eight Kings broke out during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Yuan regarded himself as a descendant of the Han Dynasty clan, and called himself the emperor in Shanxi, the country was called Han, and the history was called the Xiongnu Han Kingdom. After Liu Yuan's death, his son Liu Cong ascended the throne, captured Chang'an, captured Emperor Jin Chu, and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty.
However, Liu Cong began to be greedy for pleasure and neglected political affairs in the later period, and was finally destroyed by Liu Yuan's subordinate Shi Le. 2.Cheng Han: Built by Li Xiong, a member of the Di nationality, it has gone through 5 emperors and enjoyed the country for 43 years.
Li Xiong took advantage of the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and the weakening of the national strength, and led the exiles to capture Chengdu and ascended the throne as the emperor, and the country was called Cheng. However, after Li Xiong died of illness, after Li Xiong's cousin Li Shou ascended the throne, he changed the name of the country to Han, and was known as Cheng Han in history.
During his reign, Li Shou was extravagant and indiscriminately killed innocents, and his son Li Shi also killed on a large scale after succeeding to the throne, leading to civil strife. Huan Wen, a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, took the opportunity to conquer Cheng Han, Li Shi was defeated and surrendered, and Cheng Han perished.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Liu Zhiyuan, a native of Shatuo, rose in the turmoil of the last years of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he was once a general of the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao. After Shi Jingjiao's death, his adopted son Shi Chonggui ascended the throne, but because he refused to be a vassal to the Liao State, Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang led the army to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty and captured Shi Chonggui.
However, after Liao Taizong occupied the Later Jin Dynasty, he carried out brutal burning, killing and looting of the people of the Later Jin Dynasty, which aroused the resistance of the people of the Later Jin Dynasty. In this case, Liao Taizong was unable to suppress it, so he had to lead his army back north.
At this time, Liu Zhiyuan seized the opportunity and proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan with the assistance of his confidant Guo Wei, and established the Later Han Dynasty, known as the Later Han Dynasty in history. However, Liu Zhiyuan died after only one year of reign, and after his son Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, he sent someone to kill Guo Wei because he was suspicious of Guo Wei.
After Guo Wei learned about it, he had no choice but to rebel, and soon Liu Chengyou was defeated and killed, and the Later Han Dynasty, which had only existed for three years, perished.
8.The Northern Han Dynasty of the Ten Kingdoms, the only regime in the north, passed on the four emperors, and was established by Liu Chong, the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Chong was killed in Liu Chengyou, and after Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, he immediately proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, still taking Han as the country name, and was known as the Northern Han Dynasty in history.
However, the Northern Han Kingdom lacked small wealth and had to rely on the Liao Dynasty. After Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, ascended the throne, he personally led a large army to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. The Song army first routed the Liao army supporting the Northern Han Dynasty, and then stormed Taiyuan.
Liu Jiyuan, the late emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was forced to surrender in internal and external difficulties, and the Northern Han Dynasty perished. 9.Ten Kingdoms of the Southern Han Dynasty, the four emperors, the 54th year of Guozuo, by Liu Yan in present-day Guangzhou called the emperor, the country name Han, known as the Southern Han Dynasty in history.
However, the four emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty were all debaucherous and cruel kings, who were only interested in pleasure and killed the royal family and generals indiscriminately. After Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, usurped Zhou as emperor and sent Pan Mei and others to crusade against the Southern Han Dynasty.
Because most of the previous generals of the Southern Han Dynasty were killed, only eunuchs were in charge of the army, resulting in the inability of the Southern Han to resist. The last emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Gang, was forced to surrender, and the Southern Han Dynasty perished.
