MEANING BEHIND HAN
The meaning behind the word "Han" evolved with time. Liu Bang named the dynasty after a river that ran across the area in which the dynasty was created. This river was named "Han", and so this became the name of the newly founded dynasty. However, with time, different definitions were created. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, "Han" became a Chinese word for "man".

Wang Mang believed that the problem of excessive amounts of power of landowners was creating a threat. So to solve this problem, he claimed all of the land, distributing it among the citizens evenly. Then, he forbid any sales or rents of this property. However, this was not widely accepted and was not carried out.
