In ancient times, the Zhou observed the Xia and Shang dynasties. Three sages established laws, creating five ranks of nobility and enfeoffing eight hundred states, with over fifty bearing the same surname. The Duke of Zhou and Duke Kang were established in Lu and Wei, each several hundred li in size; The Grand Duke in Qi also held territory equivalent to five marquises and nine earls. The Book of Poetry records their system: 'The great men serve as the screen, the Grand Master as the wall. The great states serve as the screen, the great lineage as the pillar. Cherishing virtue brings peace, the lineage sons serve as the ramparts. Do not let the ramparts crumble; do not stand alone in fear.' This served to favor relatives and honor the worthy, to praise and display meritorious deeds, connecting it to prosperity and decline, deeply rooting and solidifying the foundation, making it unshakeable. Therefore in times of prosperity, Zhou and Shao assisted in governance, leading to the laying aside of punishments; In times of decline, the five hegemons supported its weakness and guarded it together. After Kings You and Ping, it declined day by day, until it was confined between the Yellow River and Luo River, divided into two Zhou states, with the Terrace of Evading Responsibility, suffering the reproach of the stolen axe. Yet the world still regarded it as the common ruler, and even the powerful dared not overthrow it. It lasted over eight hundred years, its mandate exhausted and virtue depleted, until King Nan descended to commoner status and died a natural death. Its title and position were already extinguished from the world, yet like branches and leaves supporting each other, none could occupy its empty throne, leaving the realm without a master for over thirty years.

Qin occupied strategically advantageous territory, deployed cunning and treacherous troops, gradually encroaching on the eastern regions, achieving victory in every endeavor. Prideful in their accustomed ways and relying on personal wisdom, they mocked the three ancient dynasties, obliterated ancient laws, presumptuously called themselves emperor while making their sons and younger brothers commoners, lacking internally the support of close kin and externally the protection of vassal territories. Chen and Wu raised their simple staffs in rebellion, but Liu and Xiang followed and destroyed them. Therefore it is said: Zhou outlasted its allotted span, Qin fell short of its time, such are the inevitable ways of state power.

At the beginning of the Han dynasty, the realm was newly pacified, same-surname relatives were scarce, learning from Qin's defeat due to isolation, thus dividing the territories and establishing two ranks of nobility. Meritorious officials enfeoffed as marquises held over a hundred districts, imperial sons and younger brothers were honored, and nine great kingdoms were established. From Yanmen eastward to Liaoyang, these territories became the kingdoms of Yan and Dai. South of Changshan Mountain, where the Taihang turns left, crossing the Yellow River and Ji River, extending to the sea, these territories became the kingdoms of Qi and Zhao. From the Gu and Si rivers onward, encompassing the regions of Gui and Meng, these territories became the kingdoms of Liang and Chu. Eastward bordering the Yangtze and Hu regions, approaching Kuaiji, these territories became the kingdoms of Jing and Wu. North bordering the Huai River banks, encompassing the regions of Lu and Heng, these territories became the kingdom of Huainan. South of the surging Han River, extending to the Jiuyi Mountains, these territories became the kingdom of Changsha. The feudatories bordered one another, encircling the three frontiers and connecting outward with the Hu and Yue peoples. The emperor himself controlled the commanderies of Sanhe, Dongjun, Yingchuan, and Nanyang, from Jiangling westward to Bashu, northward from Yunzhong to Longxi, together with the Inner Capital District making fifteen commanderies total, with princesses and marquises holding considerable fiefs within them. The great vassal states boasted of combining provinces and commanderies, controlling dozens of connected cities, with palaces and officials modeled exactly on the capital—one might say they bent the crooked far beyond what is straight. Although this was the case, Gaozu's founding enterprise left no time to spare, Emperor Hui's reign was brief, Empress Gao was a female ruler holding power, yet the realm remained peaceful without worries of madness and treachery, ultimately crushing the Lü family's rebellion and completing the Grand Ancestor's enterprise—all thanks to the support of the feudal lords.

Yet the feudal lords originally grew powerful, but eventually became excessive through abuse—the smaller ones dissipated and broke the law, the greater ones became alienated and rebellious, harming themselves and destroying their states. Therefore Emperor Wen adopted Jia Yi's proposal to divide Qi and Zhao, Emperor Jing used Chao Cuo's strategy to reduce Wu and Chu. Emperor Wu implemented Zhu Fuyan's memorial and issued the decree of extending favor, allowing the feudal kings to divide their households and territories to enfeoff their sons and younger brothers, without implementing the system of promotion and demotion, causing the vassal states to divide themselves. From this time onward, Qi was divided into seven parts, Zhao into six, Liang into five, and Huainan into three. Imperial sons newly established as kings had great kingdoms that did not exceed ten cities. Though Changcheng, Yan, and Dai retained their old names, they all lost their northern and southern frontiers. Emperor Jing faced the crisis of the seven kingdoms' rebellion, suppressed the feudal lords, and reduced and demoted their officials. Emperor Wu faced the rebellions of Hengshan and Huainan, created the law of left officials, established the method of attaching benefits, so that feudal lords only received clothing and food from taxes and rents, and did not participate in government affairs.

By the time of Emperors Ai and Ping, all were mere descendants continuing the line, their relatives had grown distant, born within palace walls, not respected by scholars and commoners, their power no different from wealthy families. And the present dynasty suffered short reigns with the imperial line broken three times, therefore Wang Mang knew that Han was exhausted both internally and externally, weak in both root and branch, had nothing to fear, and gave birth to his treacherous ambitions; Relying on the empress dowager's authority and borrowing the names of yiyin day and the Duke of Zhou, he monopolized power and fortune in the ancestral temple above, without descending the steps of rank to govern the world. His deceitful schemes having succeeded, he then occupied the southern-facing throne, dispatched his five awe-inspiring officials, sent imperial messengers galloping throughout the world, distributing and executing the talismans and mandates. The Han feudal kings bent their horns and bowed their heads in submission, presented the imperial seals and ribbons, fearing to be last, some even praised and extolled virtue to curry favor—how lamentable! Therefore, by thoroughly examining the changes of strength and weakness from beginning to end, one may clearly take warning from them.
