2007年前的今天 9年1月10日 西漢皇帝劉嬰被廢，王莽登基，新朝建立，西漢滅亡 --------------------------------- 公元9年1月10日，中國西漢皇帝劉嬰被廢，外戚王莽登基成為皇帝，新朝建立，西漢滅亡。 ~~~ 漢孺子劉嬰(5年—25年)，西漢末代皇帝(第十五代)(6年—8年十一月在位)，號孺子，乃楚孝王劉囂曾孫、廣戚侯劉顯子、漢宣帝玄孫也。 ~~~ 元始五年(5年)，漢朝外戚王莽毒死漢平帝，次年從漢朝皇室中挑選了時年2歲的劉嬰。但是，因年齡太小，並未正式即位，僅當一個「皇太子」。王莽自稱「攝皇帝」，任何排場實與皇帝無異，僅在見孺子及太后時需自稱臣。為想實質控制朝政大權，得到太皇太后王政君的允許後，封自己為安漢公，並完全攝政，以周公、伊尹自居，改元「居攝」。而劉嬰這個皇太子則其實只是傀儡。初始元年(8年)，王莽將「攝皇帝」稱號改稱「假皇帝」；同年，王莽自稱漢高祖劉邦要他做皇帝，便強迫劉嬰禪位給他，建國號「新」，尊王太皇太后為皇太后，劉嬰為定安公。 ~~~ 至此，立國二百一十五年的西漢帝國滅亡。 ~~~ 劉嬰被狗賊王莽降為安定公，並遷往其屬地後。狠毒的王莽命令除劉嬰乳母之外的任何人不許與劉嬰接觸，就連劉嬰的乳母也只能負責其生活起居，卻不允許和他說一句話。就這樣在這種絕對封閉的環境下成長起來的劉嬰不會說話，甚至連馬牛羊雞鴨豬六畜都不認識，儼然成了一個白癡! ~~~ 後來王莽被綠林軍殺死之後，有些前漢的義士想到了劉嬰，便將其救出準備重新立其為大漢朝皇帝，因為只有他才是大漢朝的正統! ~~~ 但是綠林軍擁立的漢孝景皇帝的玄孫劉玄(即更始帝)得知此消息後，怕影響到自己的皇位，所以他就派人前去將劉嬰給殺了! --------------------------------- 更精彩盡在Facebook日日歷史請在Facebook追蹤我們 : https://facebook.com/daydayhistory/ 知史請在Facebook追蹤我們 : https://www.facebook.com/mychistory/ #ilovehistory#history #chinesehistory #todayhistory #tagforlike#china #中國 #hkig #ig #everyday #memory #real #news #day #update #happyshare #happy #2pm #superjunior #summer #travel #apple #iphone6s #runningman #kpop #bigbang #love #fans #support

Xi'an history snapshots pt2 This is the YangLing tomb of the 4th Han emperors Liu Qi (漢朝皇帝劉启) This tomb was discovered in 1990 when they were building an airport highway and came across some ancient relics. One of nine Han tombs in the area, this is the only one open to the public. The Han dynasty is seen as a golden age in Chinese history and Chinese culture flourish over a combined 400yrs around 2000yrs ago. In fact many Chinese people today refer to themselves as descendants of "Han" (漢人) as it was the first glorious dynasty Chinese people associate with. The Han dynasty was founded after rebellion against the short lived Qin dynasty - the first official imperial dynasty of China - and resentment against the cruel and heavy handed emperor Qin (Terracotta Army guy) who forced many of his subjects to labour on his palace, mausoleum, or the Great Wall. The victorious rebel leader Liu Bang who eventually became the first Han emperor delegated and shared power with many of his commanders, making them kings of smaller provinces. This strategy of power sharing and delegation meant less autocratic rule and therefore relatively diminished powers of Emperor As a result, the modesty of the "small" yet still grand Han tomb is very interesting compared to the excessiveness of the Qin tomb. The Han pits carry many smaller, clay versions of soldiers (1/3rd size), servants and animals unlike the life size figures and live burials of Qin. Opened in 2005, this site has the two burial mounds of the Han emperor and his wife, and a modern underground museum showing the burial pits in situ. The tomb itself hasn't been opened and this continues on from the conservative approach of excavating and the hope for advancement of preservation methods of anything that can be found in these tombs in the future. Right now the methods are not advanced enough and this is well acknowledged and it is good to see the government handle archaeology with care. #Chinesehistory #handynasty #archaeology
