The Study Of The Demise Of Sun Wu Regime And Sun Hao’s Character

In the past,the academic research on the history of Sun Wu was mainly focused on the period before and in the middle period of Sun Wu.This paper focuses on the period from the death of Sun Quan to the demise of SUN Wu.It combs the historical context of the three imbalances of Sun Wu’s regime and puts SUN Hao in it.It tries to restore the story of SUN Hao,which is submerged in the traditional historical narrative,analyzes the real causes of the collapse of Sun Wu’s regime and further studies the formation and spreading process of Sun Hao’s characters.In addition to the introduction and conclusion,this paper is divided into three parts.The first part mainly analyzes the three imbalances faced by Sun Wu regime during the reign of Sun Liang and Sun Xiu.After the death of Sun Quan,the relationship between the master and the subordinate within the Sun Wu military group was broken,and the political balance between the monarchs and ministers was broken,resulting in the fall of the imperial power and the successive power of the ministers.The division of the ruling group also affected the external environment and local society of the Sun Wu regime.From the beginning of Zhu Geke,most of the people in power in the dynasty hoped to rely on the victory of external wars to consolidate the legitimacy and stability of their ruling position,but most of the foreign wars lost,which seriously consumed the military power of Sun Wu.Until Wei destroyed Shu,the strategic balance between Wei,Shu and Wu ceased to exist.In order to maintain the frequent conscription and labor,the central government of Sun Wu intensified the plunder of local resources,which led to the frequent occurrence of local army rebellion and civil disorder.The rebellion of Lui Xing from Jiao Zi finally brought disaster.The relative stability between the central government and the local forces also gradually collapsed.Until Sun Hao ascended the throne,the triple balance of Sun Wu’s establishment of the country was nearly unbalanced,and the Sun Wu regime was faced with double difficulties of internal worries and external chaos.Sun Hao,the last monarch of Sun Wu,always appears as a mask image of "fatalism and brutality" in the traditional historical narration.The previous scholars’ research on Sun Hao is also influenced by the traditional historical concept.Taking "fatalism and brutality" as the premise presupposition of studying Sun Hao,its function is that there is little constructive to say except that "fatalism and brutality" lead to the demise of Sun Wu.The second part of this paper puts aside this presupposition,focusing on the historical logic of Sun Hao’s undertaking the dilemma of Sun Liang and Sun Xiu,stabilizing the triple balance of Sun Wu,and examining the specific measures of his administration.First of all,Sun Hao reorganized the bureaucratic system,reformed the prime minister system,and formed a political pattern of checks and balances between the two groups of descendants of military power and literati.Secondly,he exchanged diplomatic envoys with Jin(Wei),maintained military restraint,and worked hard to maintain the good situation of North and south.Finally,he adjusted the administration of counties and counties,settled the rebellion and strengthened local control.However,in the face of the lack of legitimacy of his accession to the throne and the external environment of the Wei and Jin Dynasties,the stronger enemy,Sun Hao was eager to establish an authoritative relationship between monarchs and ministers through a series of mysterious,ritualized and harsh means to maintain political stability.However,this process was strongly opposed by the descendants of military achievements and the civil servant,and the political contradictions broke out in the late period of Sun Wu.In addition,the Western Jin Dynasty launched the war of reunification of Wu,which finally led to the collapse of the Sun Wu regime.Su Wu’s death is directly related to Sun Hao,but it can’t be simply generalized as Sun Hao’s "mediocrity and brutality" leading to Sun Wu’s death.Instead,it should be seen that Sun Hao’s internal action logic of trying to rebuild the triple balance of Sun Wu and the structural contradictions within Sun Wu’s ruling group triggered in the process of building the relationship between authoritative monarchs and ministers.On the premise of correct understanding of Sun Hao’s specific behavior,the author believes that Sun Hao’s "fatuous and brutal" facial image is more a product of historical writing.The third part of this paper mainly analyzes the causes of the formation of Sun Hao’s "fatuous and brutal" Facebook image and its spreading and evolution process.In the process of writing the <Record of the Three Kingdoms>,Chen Shou was influenced by the orthodoxy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and other ideologies,focusing on the negative image of Sun Hao as the monarch of the state of subjugation.Later novels such as <Yu Lin> further enriched and processed Sun Hao’s words and deeds,forming different narratives.In the northern and Southern Dynasties,Sun Hao,as the representative and symbol of the monarch of the state,played a role of warning and reference in the fields of upper politics and mass communication.From the records of the <Record of the Three Kingdoms> to the <Book of Jin><Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government>,Sun Hao’s image construction has gone through a historical process from the historical books to the historical books,in this process,Sun Hao’s "fatuous and brutal" facial makeup image has gradually become a stereotype.
