Wang Mang

Wang Mang (Hanzi: 王莽, s. 45Templat:Sbc – 6 Oktober 23 M), nama kehormatan Jujun (巨君), adalah seorang pejabat Dinasti Han yang merebut tahta dari keluarga Liu dan mendirikan Dinasti Xin (atau Hsin, artinya "terbarukan"^[1]) (新朝), memerintah 9–23 M. Dinasti Han direstorasi setelah ia dilengserkan, dan pemerintahannya menandai pemisahan antara Dinasti Han Barat (sebelum Xin) dan Dinasti Han Timur (setelah Xin).

^ Early Chinese dynasties were typically named after the fief of their founding dynast, and this reading is consistent with Wang Mang's pre-imperial position as Marquess of Xin. In 1950, C.B. Sargent suggested that the name of the dynasty should be read as meaning "new", which J.J.L. Duyvendak rejected out of hand. Chauncey S. Goodrich later convincingly argued that it may be possible to assign a semantic reading to xin, but that it ought to be read as renewed or renewal, not simply new. See Goodrich, Chauncey S. (July 1957). "The Reign of Wang Mang: Hsin or New?". Oriens. Leiden: Brill. 10 (1): 114–8. doi:10.2307/1578760.
