In which dynasty was Wang Mang?
Wang Mang is from the Western Han Dynasty.

Wang Mang (45 -23 years ago) was born in Yuancheng, Wei County (now Daming East, Hebei Province), nephew of the Emperor Gaozu, son of the new capital Hou of the Western Han Dynasty, reformer, politician and emperor of the new dynasty in China.

In his early years, Wang Mang was thrifty, knowledgeable, filial to his mother and famous for his virtue. In Yangshuo, Huang Menlang moved to shoot a captain, sealed Xinduhou from beginning to end, and moved to ride a captain and doctor Guanglu.

Sui and the first generation of Wang Gen were Fu, welcoming the emperor's accession to the throne and sending it to the country. When mourning for the emperor, Wang Mang was forced to ask for leave and shut himself up. After the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Mang became an assistant minister and Fu, and was named "An Han Gong". Han Shu, one of the twenty-four histories, classified Wang Mang as a "rebel", while Hu Shi, a modern scholar, rated Wang Mang as "the first socialist in China".

Historical achievements:

Wang Mang was born in a scholarly family and was deeply influenced by family and society since childhood. His grandfather and father were both senior officials of the Han Dynasty, and he himself was the top scholar in the imperial examination, with profound political and cultural qualities.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, with the decline of the country, political corruption and social unrest, Wang Mang believed that the rulers at that time had lost the trust and support of the people and needed revolutionary reforms to rebuild the country's political and economic system.

He took a series of reform measures, including reforming the land system, strengthening the central government, popularizing Chinese character culture, and so on, which improved the society at that time.

Wang Mang is also regarded as a politician who attaches importance to culture and education. He paid attention to popularizing Chinese character culture and founded educational institutions such as imperial academy and imperial academy, which improved people's cultural literacy and promoted the spread and development of culture.

He also advocated valuing virtue and benevolence, advocating Confucianism, and advocating social ethics such as "faithfulness, benevolence, loyalty and filial piety", which had a far-reaching influence in the history of China.
