From the Father's Lecture Notes
Han was broken once in the middle. Wang Mang took the throne, and a dozen or so years later the Liu family fought its way back. It is the only dynasty that broke and was joined again. The first half is called Western Han, the second Eastern Han, about four hundred years in all.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
