In 8 AD, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty perished, and an uprising broke out soon.
In AD 25, Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Luoyang as its capital. After unifying the world, retiring to support 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.

5. The Han Dynasty was the first golden age in the development history of China, and it was during this period that the Han nationality got its name. Because of its high degree of civilization, the Han nationality has always been in a dominant position among the fraternal nationalities in China, which is the result of historical development and natural formation. Since the Han Dynasty, although the name of the dynasty has changed, the status of the Han nationality as the main ethnic group in China has never changed.
