Liu Jianli is also a dynasty. Why is there a low sense of existence in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Because before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two famous dynasties, the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, and then there were three kingdoms fighting for hegemony, after the comparison of these periods, its sense of existence was very low. The Eastern Han Dynasty is a very low-key dynasty in the impression of many people. People prefer to discuss the history of the Three Kingdoms period, or study the history of the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. The same is true in film and television works. There are many works about the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, but few works about the Western Han Dynasty. The reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty was so low-key was mainly because there were no particularly big historical events in itself.

The emperors who acceded to the throne in the Eastern Han Dynasty were all very young, and more than half of them were under the age of 16. What is this concept? At that time, half of the emperors were just children when they ascended the throne, and most of the emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty died before they were 30 years old. If these emperors had no idea of state affairs when they ascended the throne, they gradually became able to control state affairs and finally died before they were 30 years old. It shows that many emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty have just been able to handle state affairs independently, and they have died before making achievements. If the emperor's power is weak, consorts and eunuchs will become masters of state affairs, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, most of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a very stable dynasty, such as recovering the western regions and cracking down on nomadic people. The folks in the Eastern Han Dynasty seem to have achieved freedom on another level. Niu Geng, papermaking and seismograph are advanced in science and technology. Even the famous doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are from the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is the embodiment of the prosperity of the Eastern Han regime. Perhaps the stability of the Eastern Han Dynasty made it so low-key in history.

To sum up, in fact, the low-key of the Eastern Han Dynasty is relative. Because of the fame of Qin, Western Han and Three Kingdoms, the Eastern Han Dynasty was a time for these dynasties to recuperate. But keeping a low profile can't hide its achievements. The progress of science and technology and medicine in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a very important wealth in history and a cultural achievement that must be praised in modern times.
