Abstract There were 43 outbreaks of epidemic in southern China during the Han Dynasty, accounting for 81.1% of the total at that time. These epidemics shared three characteristics: they were highly frequent and destructive, sudden but regular; clustered and horrific. In the face of the appalling epidemics, the Han people fought hard. According to historical facts, the measures taken at the time mainly included direct treatment, research, precaution and public opinion guidance. The Han people took the lead in the understanding of epidemics at that time, and their measures were also relatively effective with far-reaching impact on future generations, and thus became the basic model of epidemic prevention and relief in ancient China. Since southern China was often plagued by epidemics during the Han Dynasty, the historical narrative of the climate, waters, forests, creatures and customs of this region was all very much related to epidemics, thus making southern China “an epidemic-plagued region”. At that time, people in the north even had fear of the south, thinking “being drafted and sent to the south was equivalent to a death sentence”. Some of these "space narratives" are basically in line with the facts, while some are just “rumors” or “imagination”of the orthodox Confucian concept of the central monarchy.
