 Buddhist Philosophy
Thereafter, Wang Mang [The 'usurper' who dethroned the Han emperor and founded the short-lived Xin dynasty from 8 to 23 A.D.--Tr.] usurped the throne by falsely assuming the mandate under the guise of receiving talismans for that effect secretly.
This was practiced in general by many Han Confucianist scholars in their various annotations and exegeses of the Confucianist classics, often attempting to find "true" meanings that were camouflaged by the words of the scriptures.
As for China Buddhism was an alien ideological culture, it is very helpful to study the interaction between the two and the process by which this alien ideological culture integrated with China's own pre-existing traditional ideological culture.

 The Scholars of Shen Zhou :: View topic - Dude you got his name wrong
Guangwudi of the Eastern Han was Liu Xiu, who reigned from 25 AD onwards - and he is a totally different person from Gengshidi, Liu Xuan who reigned from 23 AD to 25 AD.
I'm actually curious as to whether Gengshi Di ("Emperor of the Renewal") was considered an emperor of the Eastern Han or of the Western Han (or neither?).
The "di" on the end of an emperor's name means "emperor." Your site lists them with the word "emperor" in their names twice.
