The failure of Wang Mang's new dynasty and the successful establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty were certainly the result of the joint action of multiple factors, but the most important point was that Wang Mang touched the fundamental interests of Shandong Central Plains, especially Yuzhou and Jizhou, which were dominated by the landlord class!

Guided by Confucian idealism, Wang Mang tried to restore the "Zhou Li" of the Western Zhou Dynasty and implemented a series of retro reforms, one of which was to take back the land, prohibit buying and selling, and redistribute it according to the well-field system. This policy not only directly touched the interests of the powerful landlord class, but also violated the interests of ordinary people's self-cultivated farmers!

Does anyone like the land that I have worked hard for decades and finally bought, but in the end, it becomes the country with a command? So where is the meaning of my hard work for a lifetime? Dedication, sacrifice? Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?

Wang Mang obviously failed to reconcile this, nor did he propose solutions and measures to resolve land annexation. Instead, it made everyone from the landlord class to the self-cultivated farmers opposed Wang Mang's system, and also caused him to lose the foundation of the New Dynasty.

Because he lost the support of the people, Wang Mang's taxes could not be raised, and to suppress rebellions in various places, it required a lot of expenses. Therefore, Wang Mang had a headache and had a headache. In a short period of time, he reformed the currency system four times and issued a fake currency, including Daquan Fifty, etc., which further damaged the credibility of the Xin Dynasty, caused prices to expand, and the entire public complaints were full of people.

In addition, Wang Mang's lack of "legality" was also an important factor in the later military's new impetus and corruption. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty through "abdication". Although he used prophecies and Confucian theories to package legality, the Xin Dynasty always faced an unavoidable dilemma, that is, Wang Mang violated the key core of Confucian ethics since the Han Dynasty, and his behavior of usurping the king was difficult to be completely accepted by scholars in terms of morality.

The most important thing about Liu Xiu's success in rebuilding the Eastern Han Dynasty and continuing the political framework of the Western Han Dynasty was that Liu Xiu clearly opposed Wang Mang's institutional reform, which met the psychological expectations of the bureaucratic group and the powerful.

And the old stories of Wang Mang seem to be somewhat similar to the current situation!
