Abstract:
Based on historical documents, the close relationship between Chen wei and thoughts in moving capital in Han Dynasty is analyzed in the paper. Some people advocate that moving capital to Chang'an could save Han Empire. WANG Mang moved capital to Chang'an for Chen wei; and the Em-peror Guangwu repaired the old capital in order to demonstrate the legitimism of his power, which led to the thought of moving capital for someone. Some people suspected that building capital in Chang'an was unfit to God's will, which led to the thought of moving capital again. DONG Zhuo moved capital to Chang'an for Chen wei, then CAO Cao moved the Empire of Han Dynasty to Xuchang. As a result, the Empire of Han Dynasty was replaced by CAO Pi. The auther finds that the crisis of belief was the important reason of the appearance of Chen wei, because politics became more mystical and unreasonable under the influence of Chen wei. The capital, at that time, was already the symbol of God's will and the city of central authorities.
