South Han-country Study

The current academic studies of South Han history mainly focus on certain aspects of its situation, but comprehensive studies. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period in development of Chinese history is a very significant period, especially the movement of economic centre towards the south. Only a detailed study of countries in the South can make one better understand this point. South Han, as an important country in the south, has the status that can not be ignored, especially in recent years with two tombs of South Han being discovered, which inspired a further round of historical interest towards South Han, therefore it has become quite necessary to carry out a comprehensive study of its history. Based on this understanding, the author of the paper is to make a preliminary exploration of South Han history from five aspects on the basis of research made by the predecessors.In the first part, current situation of research in the academic circle and the researching significance of this paper are mainly introduced.In the second part, it firstly introduced the situation of the Lingnan before the establishment of South Han. An-Shi Turmoil in the chaotic years at the end of Tang dynasty and the chaos made substantial northerners wonder towards the south. These people did not only provide for Lingnan technology and labor, but also brought in advanced culture. This is an important factor for the success separatist regime in Lingnan. Secondly, it briefly introduced Liu Yin's lifetime, which considers Liu as Han nationality, and at least the person influenced by the Han ethnic. Finally, by introducing the activities of the highest rulers in South Han, it described the rising and perishes of South Han Dynasty. What's more introduced in this part of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period the largest peasant uprising, also the one took place in Gaborone in the South Han Yin Chang In uprising.It was kinds of reason about this destroy regime,firstly,the whole Chinese economic centure was moved to south china step by step,Anybody or any country could stop the current of union.the regime refused the advice of peace union which was presented by NanTang country,so the war come into being.secondly,the young emperor was indulged into the good wine,the beaty girls and so on,he did not mind the country.At last,in five months,the regime was perished.In this chapter,I have research about the system of the regime.for example, administration area coverage,on the basis of historical material,I find about 214conties in the regime.the amenity system including five aspects,Ji, Xiong,Jun, Bin,Jia,etc.However, these etiquettes were all predigested because the delegation of the etiquette was more important than itself meaning.the emperor was attention to the political meaning by the amenity system.the scholars passed by the country examination was the nation's ridgepole,somebody was the diplomat of the regime.some other one was an army general,finially,died on the battlefield.one of the emperor praetorian army was named Mei chuan du,which was an economic army in traditional historian,however,in my opinion,it was not only an economic army but also a battle effectiveness army.Firstly a brief review of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period eunuchs, secondly the South Han eunuchs. Although there were so many eunuchs in South Han, it is questionable whether the number of eunuch can reach 20,000 according to some literary books. In addition, many people strongly criticized eunuchs in the South Han due to their bias. But whether one could change another way of thinking to consider the eunuchs and literary intelligentsia as equal sides.if one does not see the whole thing with a colored spectacle, consequences of both eunuchs and literary intelligentsia autocratic rulers are the same. Thus, in this part, while all kinds of evil things committed by eunuchs are introduced, more stories about the outstanding figures among eunuchs are described with a view to change prejudice against eunuchs.In the third part, the paper briefly described the economic situation of South Han in several aspects as the agriculture, commerce, handicraft industry.
