Opposition from wealthy landowners and provincial officials …

Years: 16 - 27

Opposition from wealthy landowners and provincial officials still loyal to the Han dynasty forces the autocratic Xin (Hsin) emperor Wang Mang to rescind his radical reforms.

A descendant of the Han rulers, Liu Xiu (Liu Hsiu), effects a restoration of the old dynasty in CE 25.

Wang Mang’s brief rule thus separates the Han Dynasty into two periods: that of the Former, or Earlier, Han, before CE 9, and that of the Later Han, after CE 25.
