Emperor Xuan of Han, formerly known as Liu Yiji, was the great-grandson of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, a famous Ming Emperor in history, under his rule, the Han Dynasty was pushed to the peak of prosperity, becoming the most powerful country at that time in terms of comprehensive national strength, and Liu Que became one of the four emperors who officially owned the temple number at that time.
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was also a generation of Ming Emperors in terms of political policy and other aspects, but it was obviously not as high as emperor Xuan of Han, and there was also some controversy about the influence of history, but Emperor Wu of Han had a more far-reaching influence and higher prestige in history than Emperor Xuan of Han.
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Although Emperor Wu was not as accomplished as Emperor Xuan, he laid the foundation for a precedent</h3>
There is a saying that "the Chinese imperial system began with the first emperor and established in the Han Dynasty." "Among them, Han Wu is said to be Emperor Wu of Han, which shows how much influence Emperor Wu of Han has on the history of China."
First of all, in terms of ideology and culture, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty heeded Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "deposing a hundred families and respecting Confucianism alone", although this suggestion allowed other rule of law ideas to be suppressed and could not get the beautiful situation of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, but this move allowed Confucianism to gain a firm foothold in ancient China, and also laid a solid ideological foundation for the Han Dynasty's rule over the world.
While promoting Confucianism, it did not reduce the emphasis on the rule of law, and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty made the princes have to divide the princes into waiting for the throne by using the legal system, and implemented the Tuien Order, which greatly weakened the rights of the princely states and strengthened the centralization of power. This Confucian-based and law-supplemented approach to governance not only reassured the people that the imperial court cared about the people, but also strengthened the demands on officials and reduced the exploitation of civilians by officials.
In terms of military affairs, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty conquered all sides and appointed talents, which broadened China's territory and became several "firsts" in history. From the time of his succession to his death, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty has been fighting against the Xiongnu and non-Han Dynasty forces, and has devoted his life to opening up the territory of the Han Dynasty, and in the north, he has been fighting against the Xiongnu with Wei Qing, Huo Zhiyi and others, and in the west he has sent Zhang Qian to the western region, opened up the market in the western region, and opened up the Silk Road, making the foreign trade of the Han Dynasty more convenient, and opening up Minyue in the south, in addition, conquering Korea, opening up the southwest, and making great contributions to the territory of the Han Dynasty.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >why emperor Xuan was not as famous as Emperor Wu, but pushed the Han Dynasty to the climax of development? </h3>
Liu Xiang was born with the scourge of witchcraft, and he was only five months old and was implicated and imprisoned, until Emperor Wu, who was about to die five years later, seemed to wake up and amnesty the world to get out of prison, and his childhood was really tragic.
Later, Emperor Zhao died, and Liu Que was pushed to the throne by Huo Guang, in fact, he was a puppet emperor, but Liu Que used his wisdom to raise obscurity, survived Huo Guang, and then uprooted the Huo family's forces, and Liu Qing's pro-government road showed his wisdom and ability.
One reason why Emperor Xuan's period was higher than Emperor Wu's was that Emperor Wu attached great importance to martial rule, and Emperor Xuan emphasized both civil rule and martial rule, and wen and martial arts bloomed in an all-round way. Because Of Liu Qing's early life, he wandered in the folk for many years, and even if he was later taken to the palace, he often sneaked out to play, so he knew the sufferings of the people, was more sympathetic to the people, and was also generous to the people, and for the viciousness among the people, he adopted the means of leniency rather than forced rule, and was able to capture the hearts of the people.
In terms of economy, it rectified many shortcomings in the industrial and commercial management policies of Emperor Wu Zhaodi, and strictly controlled corruption. Because of the political clarity during the Xuan Emperor period, Yang Yun, who was holding the "Shi Ji", could safely spread the "Shi Ji" and let the "Shi Ji" come to the world.
Militarily, Emperor Xuan continued to conquer the Xiongnu westward. Because of the results of the conquests around the Time of Emperor Wu, the surrounding countries had a reverence for the Han Dynasty and obediently submitted to the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Xuan was able to attack the Xiongnu without using his own country's military strength, but skillfully using foreign troops that were subordinate to his own country. Coupled with the internal strife of the Xiongnu, it made it easier for the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu Hu Han evil Shan Realized His Situation, so in 51 BC, he personally went to Chang'an and formally submitted to the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu began a relatively peaceful time.
Due to the combination of civil rule and martial rule, coupled with Emperor Xuan's deep understanding of righteousness and leniency, he laid a solid foundation for the government of Qingming, plus the period of Emperor Wu, which pushed the Han Dynasty to its peak, the politics were clear, and Emperor Xuan was also honored as a generation of Ming emperors.
However, without the foundation laid by Emperor Wu's conquests and attacks against the Xiongnu, and without the ideological and cultural foundation laid by Emperor Wu pushing Confucianism to a lofty realm, Emperor Xuan would not have pushed the Han Dynasty to the top so easily. In addition, before Emperor Xuan, there were two famous people, Liu Bang before and Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, his sharp edge was also covered, so his popularity was not as good as Emperor Wu.
