History posts mark the anniversary of 23 AD, when rebels stormed Chang'an, capital of Han-era China, and killed emperor Wang Mang by decapitation during a peasant uprising. Wang Mang had ruled briefly as emperor of the Xin dynasty after usurping the Han throne. The commemorations recall the fall of his regime and the restoration of Han rule.
