The glyph in the golden text, according to the use of this word in the inscription, some scholars have deduced that it is the word "Zhuang". The word from 爿. Used as the name of the princes. The Warring States glyph has changed from 艸 and Zhuangsheng to the shape sound in the six books. The shape of the word (grass) indicates that the original meaning of this word is related to herbaceous plants, and the sound side indicates the pronunciation of the word. Both the affiliation and the italics can be traced back to the Warring States script. The simplified word "Zhuang" is in cursive italics.
Emperor Ming of Han's name was Liu Zhuang, and Xu Shen, in order to avoid secrecy, only noted "Shangxuan" under the word "Zhuang". According to the Qing Dynasty scholar Duan Yujie, 艸 denotes grass and trees, and Zhuang is both a sound side and a grand meaning, so zhuang means "艸大", which is the appearance of lush grass and trees. Ancient bookstores, zhuangduo universal. From the lush vegetation, it can also be extended to grand. Extension refers to the Avenue. Such as "Kangzhuang Avenue". Later, people added a zhuang character to the shop with prosperous business and great wealth. For example, "Cloth Village", "Money Village" and "Tea House". "Zhuang" extends into villages – large tracts of land and their buildings occupied in the countryside by royalty, bureaucrats, landlords, etc. in ancient times. Later, people introduced this kind of village and farm immovable righteousness into gambling, and "zhuang" thus had the meaning of bookmaker.
Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty, Zi Li, the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (5 reigned for 18 years, the fourth son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the mother is the top famous beauty in history, for the Guanglie Empress Yin Lihua.
After Emperor Hanming ascended the throne, he changed the judo of Guangwu to the government, and replaced it with a fierceness. According to emperor Guangwu's intentions before his death, Liu Zhuang painted 28 in Yuntai, but he did not receive income from his father-in-law Ma Yuan, which gave the ministers a signal that they wanted to restrict and restrain foreign relatives. Moreover, during his reign, his three eldest brothers-in-law, Ma Liao, Ma Guang, and Ma Fang were all no more than Jiuqing.
This is true not only for foreign relatives, but also for clans.
Liu Ying, the King of Chu, born to Emperor Guangwu and Xu Meiren, had a good relationship with Emperor Ming when he was crown prince. Liu Ying made friends with guests, and also made a golden turtle and jade crane in the feudal country, engraving the text as Fu Rui, and actively preparing for rebellion. He was denounced by a man named Yan Guang, and Yousi Songqing demanded that he be killed, but Liu Zhuang could not bear it, but only deposed him and exiled him. Later, Liu Ying committed suicide. Liu Zhuang discovered that Liu Ying had befriended a list of scholars and officials, and for this reason he built a great prison and connected many people.
Liu Zhuang was very strict with the officials below, because his father Emperor Guangwu was more lenient with his ministers when he was in power, because of his high prestige, while Emperor Ming did not have the prestige of his father, and it was obviously not enough to rely on his prestige to control his father's old ministers. Therefore, he was very harsh on officials, which was rare among the emperors of the two Han Dynasties.
The inner court officials mistakenly recorded the offerings contributed by the western regions, and Liu Zhuang, who personally checked the accounts and found that he had made a mistake, sent people to summon Shang Shulang, who had made a mistake, and personally held a wooden staff to beat and punish him. It was not until the governor of Shang Shutai heard the news and pleaded with the emperor to punish him for the crime of discord, that Liu Zhuang calmed down his anger. Although Liu Zhuang's attitude toward his subordinates was too severe and his supervision and responsibility were excessively harsh, he effectively ensured that the program and discipline were rectified, the officials were strictly governed, the administrative efficiency was improved, and the central and local government achievements were obvious.
However, Emperor Ming of Han was not a tyrant, but a Ming Emperor with the "rule of Ming Zhang".
During Liu Zhuang's reign, he issued several edicts to reduce taxes and reduce his punishment; ordered officials to advise the governor of Nongsang to control diseases and pests; and gave or gave public land to the poor. In addition, Liu Zhuang vigorously built farmland water conservancy, the largest of which was to control the Yellow River. Since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow River has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and for the sake of suffering, "the people of Yan and Yu have complained." Emperor Ming ordered the famous water conservancy experts Wang Jing and Wang Wu to lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers to control the water. From the east of Xingyang to the thousand-mile haikou, ten miles and a water gate have been set up, so that more Tong Huan is injected, and there is no danger of repeated collapse and leakage, thus ensuring the normal progress of agricultural production in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Liu Zhuang advocated frugality, court life was not yet luxurious, and for a while, upward and downward effects.
It was also during the reign of Emperor Ming of Han that Buddhism was introduced to China. In fact, Buddhism began to spread to China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Once, Liu Zhuang had a strange dream, dreaming of a tall golden man, radiating white light above his head, descending on the center of the palace. Liu Zhuang was about to ask, when the Golden Man exhaled again and flew into the air and flew west. After waking up from the dream, I couldn't figure it out. The next day, at the pilgrimage, he detailed what he had seen in the dream to his courtiers, and most of them did not know why. Later, he had a learned minister who said that it might be the Buddha of the Western Regions, and Emperor Ming heard that there was a god in the Western Regions, whose name was Buddha, so he sent emissaries to Tianzhu to seek his books and shamens, and established The White Horse Temple, the first Buddhist temple in China, in Luoyang.
Liu Zhuang had only been emperor for eighteen years, and was only forty-eight years old when he died.
