1, peasant uprising at the end of Qin dynasty, Chu-Han debate
Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, was a man named Pei Fengyi, who did not take part in agricultural labor at ordinary times. In his youth, Qin Shihuang had unified China, and he became the curator of Qin Sishui Pavilion, which was very close to county officials. Liu bang was unruly all his life, but he was brave, ambitious and generous and could live up to expectations.
In the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), a peasant uprising broke out at the end of Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang also fought in Pei County, his hometown, and was called Pei Gong. Later, he joined Xiang Shu's resistance to Qin Yijun. In the first 207 years, Liu Bang led the troops into the customs, and Zi Ying, the king of Qin, fell and Qin died.
After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, in 206 BC, Xiang Yu named Liu Bang Hanwang. Later, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang launched a four-year battle between Chu and Han. With the help of Xiao He, Han Xin, Sean and Peng Yue, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu in the Battle of Gaixia. In the first 202 years, he officially proclaimed himself emperor in Dingtao, still taking "Han" as the capital and Chang 'an (now Shaanxi An) as the capital.

2. The rule of Wenjing, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the country of South Vietnam.
After Lv Hou's death, the rebellion of Zhulu was eradicated by the ministers headed by Zhou Bo, and the ministers embraced Emperor Wen in succession. Under the influence of Dou, the Empress of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen and his son Jingdi continued to adopt the method of governing by Huang Lao's inaction, and implemented the policy of being frivolous and generous, sharing interests with the people, which restored the great damage caused by years of war and reduced the burden on the people.
Although the only turmoil in this period occurred during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty-the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion", it was pacified by Zhou Yafu and Luan Bu only three months later, and it did not have a substantial impact on the Han Dynasty.

3. Zhao Xuanzhongxing
In the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a famous "witch disaster" happened, which resulted in unjust death. The Han dynasty experienced many years of war, which had a great impact on the economy, resulting in the weakness of the national strength of the Han dynasty and the squandering of the savings of the previous dynasty.
To this end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the famous Imperial Decree of Luntai in his later years, and he was no longer militaristic. In order to save the economy during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a series of policies were adopted, such as putting money, salt and iron under the central management, strengthening agricultural production, implementing and legalizing, digging the White Canal, establishing the policy of equal loss and leveling, stabilizing prices and strengthening economic control.

Xin Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
After the death of Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, Liu ascended the throne, and the Western Han Dynasty began to decline. Emperor Han and Yuan were soft-hearted and Confucian, which led to the decline of imperial power and the rise of consorts eunuchs. After the death of Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Ao acceded to the throne.
Emperor Han Chengdi was a lecherous, and fell in love with Queen Xu, Ban Jieyu and Zhao's sisters (Zhao and Zhao Hede) successively. Because Zhao's sister was infertile, the children of Emperor Han Chengdi and other concubines were killed by Zhao's sister, which was called "Yan pecked at the emperor's grandson" in history. Because "wine invades the bones", Emperor Hancheng finally died in the gentle country.

5. Guangxu Zhongxing
Xin Mang was destroyed by Red Eyebrows and Greenwood Uprising. The outlaws made Liu Xuan, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, emperor, and restored the title of the Han Dynasty, which was called Xuanhan in history, and changed the dynasty, and Liu Xuan became emperor again. In AD 25, the Red-Eye Army succeeded Liu Penzi, the title of Han Dynasty, as emperor, and was known as the Red-Eye Han in history. When the Yuan Dynasty was founded, Liu Pengzi established the world emperor, and then defeated the outlaws.

Extended data:
There was chaos in the world at the end of Qin Dynasty. After Liu Bang overthrew the Qin Dynasty, he was named Hanwang. In 202 BC, after the victory of the Chu-Han dispute, he proclaimed himself emperor and established the Han Dynasty, with Chang 'an as his capital, which was called the Western Han Dynasty in history. Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han carried out the national recuperation policy and founded "cultural landscape governance"; After Emperor Wudi ascended the throne, he succeeded in "the prosperity of Hanwu". In the Han dynasty, the national strength reached its peak, which was called "filial piety and rejuvenation" in history.
In 8 AD, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang abolished the emperor and made Chang 'an his capital, which was called the New Dynasty in history and the Western Han Dynasty perished. In AD 25, Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Luoyang as its capital. After unifying the world, withdrawing troops to fight and supporting the people is called "Guangxu Zhongxing" in history. Emperor Hanming followed the frivolous and thin fu, and created the "rule of Zhang Ming"; After the Han and Emperor succeeded to the throne, they broke the northern Xiongnu and recovered the western regions, creating an "eternal prosperity", and the national strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty reached its peak.
The Yellow Scarf Uprising broke out in A.D. 184, which quelled civil strife but led to local self-respect. After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only. In 220 AD, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty perished. Later, Liu Bei established Shu Han to continue the Han Dynasty, and China entered the Three Kingdoms period.
