background

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, court affairs have been dominated by the Wang family, and Wang Mang was able to monopolize power by virtue of the shadow of his uncle and the trust of the Queen Mother. Most of Wang's children are arrogant and extravagant, but Wang Mang is thrifty, elegant and Confucian, and treats corporal with courtesy, so his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. During the period of Emperor Ping of Han Dynasty, Wang Mang carried out the policy of sealing the imperial clan, sealing the descendants of heroes, donating private money to help the poor, expanding imperial academy, increasing the number of doctors with Five Classics and setting up schools in counties, countries and cities.

In the late Western Han Dynasty, due to land annexation, famine and economic depression, people's hearts were floating, class contradictions were sharp, and people's uprisings continued. Wang Mang's compilation of Hanshu adapted to the changes of people's thoughts at that time and the actual situation of society's thoughts on governing Taoism. Wang Mang took advantage of the saying that "Hande has declined, and the new saint will prosper" and pretended to be the new saint under the guise of destiny, winning the support of the Chinese people.
