Abstract

In the period between Qin and Han dynasties, in order to solve social contradiction, the rulers made some important reform and regulation for ruling thought and political strategy. The rulers of Han dynasty gave up the strict ruling means of Qin dynasty and carried on the political system carried out by Qin dynasty for adapting the demand of historic development and decided the Huangdi-Laozi thought and Confucian theory, which held that the lord should do everything by nature and let the people work and live at will, as the foundation to run the country. Such new administrative polices adapted society development, as well as met the need of human moral principles, which resulted in the politics being in accordance with theology, politics and family relations, as well as played an important role in regulating social contradictions. Investigating from the double angle of the conception of history and moral principles, we may see that this reform and regulation made the social justice and advance obtain better complete and unite in the early period of Han dynasty. However, this reform and regulation could not solve the social contradiction from the root. With the advance of the society, the disharmony of social and political structure bred new contradictions, which finally resulted in the doom of Han dynasty.
