The ENTIRE History of the Han Dynasty - The First Empire Forged in Flames

Welcome to the Han Dynasty, the era that defined the soul of China not through virtue, but through absolute survival. This is the story of how a drunken peasant named Liu Bang outsmarted the God of War to build a throne upon the ashes of the Qin. But winning the empire was the easy part; keeping it was a nightmare.

Join us as we dive into 400 years of imperial madness. We will witness the terrifying cruelty of Empress Lu, who turned her rival into a "human pig," and the megalomania of Emperor Wu, who bankrupted the state to buy horses and immortality. We will analyze the disastrous utopian experiment of Wang Mang, the "time-traveling socialist" who tried to fix the economy and ended up sliced into pieces by merchants. Finally, we will watch the slow, agonizing death of the dynasty as it rots from the inside out, consumed by eunuchs and warlords, setting the stage for the legendary Three Kingdoms.

This is not the history you learned in school. This is the brutal, bloody, and darkly hilarious truth of how the "Han" identity was forged in flames.
