Abstract
After reuniting six states, Qin Shi Huang(秦始皇)governed his country with harsh law, enslaved its popular, which led The Qin Empire to collapse after 15 years of survival. At the end of Qin dynasty, society was full of mess and disorder, rising the contention between Chu–Han(楚漢)forces. Kuai Tong(蒯通)went to Fan Yang alone, pacified the state of Zhao(趙國), convinced Han Xin(韓信)to build one force that can compete with Chu and Han. During the reign time, Emperor Wu of Western Han Dynasty(漢武帝)had used the set of doctrines ‘Interactions Between Heaven and Mankind(天人感應)’ and ‘Mythological Confucianism(儒學神話)’ formulated by Dong Zhong Shu to consolidate his power; Emperor Guang Wu of Eastern Han Dynasty(漢光武帝)had utilized doctrines of Chen Wei(讖緯學説)to obtain the orthodoxy of Liu Han administration as well. Therefore, Loyalty Ideology(忠君思想)had deeply influenced on scholars over the two long period of Han Denasty as well as posterior scholars. Obviously, most of posterior scholars had critical and negative point of view to Kuai Tong himself when researching about him. This thesis is based on historical aspect, through objective perspective and without effects of Loyalty Ideology to fully interpret Kuai Tong – a politician in a chaos time.
