Emperor Han Wu of Qin lost his literary style slightly. Tang Zong Song Zu, slightly inferior. From the great leader Chairman Mao's evaluation of the great men of ancient times, we can see that the Qin Emperor Han Wu was comparable to each other, and in Chinese history, it can be described as a generation of tyrants, which made people deeply impressed and were in awe.
Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and created the founding of the country. However, because of the arrogance and extravagance in the later period, the Qin Dynasty eventually collapsed, and Emperor Wu of Han was also a cruel monarch and also had appalling measures, why did not lead to the collapse of the Han Dynasty? How is Qin Shi Huang worse than him?
The merits of Qin Shi Huang are beyond doubt, as early as the Warring States period, the Qin State was located in one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and in the early years, the Chu State was the strongest. At that time, the State of Chu was strong, while the State of Qin was recuperating, starting from Qin Mugong, the State of Qin began to implement the law change, and although the Law of Shang Martingale was harsh, the effect was self-evident. After the implementation of the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, the national strength of the Qin State increased day by day, not only unifying the weights and measures, promoting foreign trade, and promoting the development of the national economy, but also greatly increasing the strength of the army, the national defense becoming increasingly tough, the Qin State preserving its strength, Taoguang and obscurity, and in the past hundred years, it was in an invincible position.
In the generation of Qin Shi Huang, he lived up to the century-old foundation created by his predecessors, annexed the six kingdoms in one fell swoop, and unified the world, but the war of princes lasted for a long time, even if the territory was unified, the differences in culture and living habits of various countries for a long time could not be solved, and it was always impossible to achieve true unification.
However, the reason why Qin Shi Huang can become an emperor throughout the ages is naturally that he has his superiority. He not only unified the writing, but also unified the currency and weights and measures, established a basic and perfect economic system, and laid the foundation for the long-term development of the national economy.
In addition, he established a centralized feudal rule system and established a system of three dukes and nine secretaries, which not only consolidated his position, avoided the situation of the world being divided, concentrated the power of the central government, and also established a relatively complete management system, making the state hierarchical.
The merits of Qin Shi Huang were passed down through the ages, but in the later period, he was badly insulted. In his later years, Qin Shi Huang was very happy and built the Afang Palace, which made the people miserable and the people did not have a good life, but he still did not have a cliff to restrain the horse. The Afang Palace project is huge, the people are hurting money, and the people's lives are in deep trouble.
More than once, one of his most absurd moves was to burn books and kill innocents indiscriminately. Culture is the foundation of a country, if the culture is destroyed, a country's heritage is also destroyed, how can the country survive? Therefore, soon after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, it suffered a tragic numerological disaster.
The Han Dynasty can be described as another great miracle in history,
From the establishment of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, he created an immortal contribution to the unification of the Han Dynasty.
In the hundred years of the unification of the Han Dynasty, there was the rule of Wenjing, and after this there was a praised emperor, he was the Han Wudi Emperor Liu Che.
The rule of Wenjing laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, which at the beginning of its establishment, the world was torn apart, and after a hundred years of restoration, it has been improved. By the time of wenjing's rule, the Han Dynasty was already a prosperous scene of Guotai Min'an, and the Han Dynasty had reached its peak.
When Emperor Wu of Han succeeded to the throne, the country was prosperous, the foundation laid by the predecessors, under his rule, underwent a change, when he was young, he was also a tyrant, fortunately in his old age, the cliff was restrained, benefiting the people, so that the ancestors set a century-old foundation, not destroyed.
What's going on? In fact, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was intelligent and ambitious since childhood, determined to unify the world. Therefore, during his succession, he continued to expand the rule and territory of the Han Dynasty, conquering wars year after year, and his subordinates were also many military generals.
During his 54-year reign, the digital general Wei Qing and his nephew Huo went ill to fight against the Xiongnu. There is also a saying that has been passed down to this day, Huo Zhiyi once said: "The Xiongnu are not exhausted, and they have no home!" His desire to serve the country is vividly expressed. But behind this sentence, it also reflects the emperor. A series of absurd moves to drive out the Huns.
During the fifty-four years of the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he bitterly pestered the Xiongnu, and even did not hesitate to work hard to expel the Xiongnu and hurt their wealth. Looting the people's fat and people's ointment everywhere, the people's lives are miserable, and the people's anger is everywhere, which can be said to be angry but dare not speak.
He listened to Dong Zhongshu's words, pursued the principle of confucianism alone, established a unified centralized power, and consolidated his position. He filled the gap in the Qin Dynasty's book burning pit Confucianism, and moreover, he created the inspection system, promoted the Hanmen nobles, weakened the power of the Wangsun nobles, and made the culture more perfect.
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lost the hearts of the people in his early years, just to expel the Xiongnu, making the people unhappy and even shaking the Jiangshan, fortunately, in his old age, he stopped the horse on the cliff in time, regretted it endlessly, changed his past wrongs, and also made his mistakes known to the world, and finally made the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan more stable, playing a role in inheriting the past and enlightening the future.
Many people will wonder, the same is the tyranny of the emperor, why the Qin Dynasty collapsed early, but the Han Dynasty can be more prosperous? The main reason for this is the will of the people. Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was aggressive all his life, fighting everywhere and expelling the Xiongnu, but he did not shake the foundation of the country, and even in his old age, he could know his mistakes, admit his mistakes, correct his mistakes, and naturally get the forgiveness of the people.
And Emperor Wu of Han repented in time in his later years, coupled with his achievements in all aspects, he had already made contributions to each other, so it was passed down through the ages, and the Qin Dynasty made mistakes again and again after burning books and pit Confucianism, and the descendants were even more cruel and unkind, and finally buried the Qin Dynasty' Jiangshan.
In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty greatly destroyed the Xiongnu and greatly increased the national strength. At the same time, he sent Zhang Qian on a mission to the Western Regions and opened up the Silk Road, which not only opened the door to foreign transportation and trade, but also publicized his own culture, strengthened economic exchanges, and created new glory for the prosperity of the country.
In addition, he was the first emperor to use the era name. It can be said that he has opened up a new culture, culture is the foundation of a nation, and his merits have undoubtedly enhanced the self-confidence of a nation, and also made him regain the hearts of the people and further consolidate his position.
War is a means of reunification, not the key to reunification. Water can carry a boat, but also can overturn the boat, and only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, and the ancient kings have very few who know. War and chaos will only turn the people's hearts and minds on their backs, provoke the people to be bored, and cause chaos in the world, and in the end it is not a good strategy for reunification.
Rise, the people suffer, die, the people suffer. The Qin Dynasty built a large number of civil engineering, making the people's lives miserable and restless, how could such a dynasty last? Although Emperor Wu of han was also a tyrant, in his later years he was able to restrain the horse from the cliff and benefit the people, in exchange for the long-term development of the Han Dynasty, and naturally it would not collapse like the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin people do not have time to mourn themselves, and the posterity mourns, and the posterity mourns without learning, and also makes the posterity mourn the future generations. It can be seen from this that taking history as a mirror can be seen in the rise and fall. Only by knowing how to conform to the trend of the times and appease the people can we achieve long-term development.
