In 48 BC, Emperor Gaozu died, Emperor Hanyuan ascended the throne, and the biological mother Wang was promoted to Queen Mother, and the Wang Group began to form.

In 46 BC, Wang Mang was born.

In 22 BC, Wang Mang was appointed as Huang Menlang, later promoted to a captain, and began to join the exclusive Wang Group.

In 16 BC, Wang Mang was made a new capital and gradually entered the ruling core.

In 8 BC, Wang Mang was promoted to Fu and became the core of Wang Group.

In 7 BC, Wang Mang was dismissed from his post and did not return to Chang 'an until 2 BC.

In the first year of AD, Wang Mang was named "Han Angong". Since then, Wang Mang has gradually purged the dissidents in the DPRK and monopolized the power.

In 8 AD, Wang Mang established a new dynasty on behalf of Han Dynasty and began a series of reforms, but all ended in failure.

In 23 AD, Wang Mang was killed by rebels who invaded Chang 'an.

Wang Mang should be a tragic figure. He devoted his life to doing two things, one was to stand on his own feet for Korea, and the other was to implement the New Deal.

To this end, Wang Mang tried his best to make progress all the way. He can finally stand on his own feet on behalf of Han, and he can begin to implement his dream New Deal. However, what he paid for this was the good intention of winning the favor of the government and the people for more than 30 years, the difficult reform after the independence of the Han Dynasty 17 years, and the end of being beheaded by the rebel army. The reform he carried out was the greatest and the most failed reform in the history of China.

At the same time, his reform is also different from all previous reforms in the ancient history of China. Based on the Book of Rites, he designed a set of "retro" reform blueprint, trying to establish a national system in which all the world land was returned to China at the end of primitive society and all the world industries were state-owned. Some historical comments believe that Wang Mang is carrying out a reform with the nature of utopian socialism, that is, he is an out-and-out "utopian socialist". However, the reform carried out by Wang Mang was resisted by the gradually formed big landlord group, and in the process of implementation, there was no top-down Qixin bureaucratic group to "do the revolution", which made the people ungrateful. In the end, there was chaos inside and outside, and the righteous rose up, and Wang Mang's regime was surrounded by peasant rebels.

Wang Mang had always been calculating and forbearing before he became independent in the Han Dynasty, so there were many praises both inside and outside the imperial court, and he recommended this rare sage to the emperor in succession. It is with these flattering words that Wang Mang gradually gained power. However, after the independence of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was headstrong, suspicious and staged various farce. This is quite different from his character before the Han Dynasty, and even out of place. It's hard to explain that Wang Mang has two serious opposites at the same time. However, judging from his age, Wang Mang has been in his fifties since the independence of the Han Dynasty. After more than 30 years of official infighting, it is inevitable that he will have a kind of venting psychology that suddenly broke out after years of repression, and these farce will naturally occur with the growth of age and be dizzy.
