中英雙語話歷史 第28期:漢朝(西漢)
The Western Han Dynasty lasted more than 230 years over 14 generations, including the Xin Dynasty founded by Wang Mang.
漢自高祖劉邦建國,歷經十四代230餘年(其中包括王莽的新朝>。It is usually divided into three stages by historians: the time of consolidation by Emperors Han Gaozu, Wendi and Jingdi ; the zenith period of centralizing power by King Wu of Han, and the late period of replacement of the imperial power by the mighty consort clan of the Wang.
史學家通常將這一時期分爲三個階段:漢高祖、文帝、景帝實行的“修養生息”的鞏固期;漢武帝加強中央集權的鼎盛時期;外戚王氏篡權的後期。
