The Han Dynasty is generally divided into the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty in the history of literature. The difference between East and West is named after the location of the capital. The main literary achievements of the Han Dynasty include: Han Fu, prose and poetry. Culturally, the literature of the Han Dynasty has a strong tradition of restoring ancient ways, which is related to the academic atmosphere of the whole Han Dynasty, which takes the Five Classics as its ancestor, takes sages as the criterion, attaches importance to the inheritance of learning from others, and attaches importance to the study of chapters and sentences. This has also caused some literary historians in later generations to criticize the two-way mode of literature in Han Dynasty, that is, the literati's literary concept under Confucian orthodoxy is retro and conservative, and the natural literary concept under Taoist heresy is innovative and enterprising.
Historical prose and political prose are the most prominent prose in Han Dynasty. Sima Qian's Historical Records reflects the history with people as the center, creates a new style of biographical history books and opens up a new era of biographical literature, which is the most brilliant achievement of the Han Dynasty. Han Shu written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty is equally famous.
There are many famous political works, such as On Tong Qin and Public Security Policy by Jia Yi, On Gui Su by Chao Cuo, On Salt and Iron by Huan Kuan, On Balance by Wang Chong, On Hidden Husband by Wang Fu and Song of Eternal Sorrow by Zhong Changtong.
