Wang Mang was a Han dynasty official and consort kin who seized the throne in AD 9, founding the Xin dynasty. A learned Confucian scholar, he set out to create the harmonious society he found in the classics: he abolished slavery and launched land redistribution. The reforms collapsed into chaos. His late reign saw massive peasant uprisings, notably the Lülin and Red Eyebrows rebellions. In October AD 23, rebels overran the capital Chang'an, sacked the imperial palaces, and killed Wang Mang in battle. The Han dynasty was restored - his fourteen-year reign now marks the dividing line between Western and Eastern Han.
