Why is it so tolerant of Han Wu? The place where Han Wu fought is not as big as Qianlong, right? It was not even occupied, Qianlong was actually controlled, Han Wu drove out the Xiongnu in the later period, his general Li Guangli was also forced to rebel by the Xiongnu or himself, Qianlong was not so outrageous militarily, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost collapsed, but Huo Guang saved him, but Qianlong did not. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he had the ability to include the Xiongnu in his territory but did not do it, and Qianlong also had the ability to incorporate Central Asia into his territory but did not do it.
It is true that there are different views and opinions on the evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Qianlong. First of all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an outstanding monarch in Chinese history, and under his rule, China experienced a period of relative prosperity and stability. He carried out a series of important reform policies, including the implementation of the "rule of culture and scenery", the implementation of the imperial examination system, and the development of the economy, which played a positive role in promoting social progress and economic development. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also adopted an active policy of foreign expansion, and waged many wars against the Xiongnu and other northern ethnic groups, although he failed to completely eliminate the Xiongnu, but also achieved certain strategic results. As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was considered a visionary and ambitious emperor who had a profound impact on Chinese history.
In contrast, Emperor Qianlong's military performance was also highly recognized. His policy of foreign expansion brought the Qing Dynasty's territory to its peak and played an important role in strengthening the country's unity and stability. Qianlong also carried out a series of cultural and technological developments, such as the artistic prosperity and scientific and technological progress during the prosperous period of Kangqian, which left an indelible mark on Chinese history. As a result, Qianlong was also considered a far-sighted and resourceful monarch who had an important impact on China's development.
However, there were also some negative elements to the reigns of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Qianlong. For example, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made some achievements in external expansion, he also frequently waged wars, which led to serious depletion of national resources, and there were also some internal political problems. Although Qianlong achieved the country's territorial expansion, he also faced some internal and external troubles, such as ethnic rebellion and social unrest in the border areas.
When evaluating two monarchs, it is necessary to take into account factors such as their historical background, governing strategy, and contributions to the country and society. Although both Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Qianlong had shortcomings, their respective achievements and contributions cannot be ignored. Therefore, the evaluation of historical figures should be comprehensive and objective, and the performance of a certain aspect should not be one-sidedly emphasized.
