Throughout the ages, there are only a few emperors who can be called "the emperor", and Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is one of them.
The brilliant deeds of Emperor Wu of Han, needless to say, his life to conquer the four directions, is the first emperor in history to vigorously expand the territory, and opened up the famous Silk Road, the evaluation of his merits in later generations is usually placed on the same height as Qin Shi Huang.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of Han was also a very literary emperor, he was the first emperor in history to have his own collection of writings, and left many classic poems, such as "Autumn Wind Words": Autumn Wind Rises and White Clouds Fly, Grass and Trees Fall Yellow And Wild Geese Return to the South, Lan Youxiu Xi Ju Youfang, Huai Jia Ren Xi Can't Forget...
This tragic autumn work has an atmospheric and delicate feeling, from the description of the autumn scenery, to evoke the thoughts of the beautiful people, which shows that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty is also a very popular and romantic person, and the negative evaluation of Liu Che in history is mainly focused on his pursuit of female color.
In ancient times, there was a biographical novel called "The Story of Han Wu", which mentioned that because the number of people in the harem of Emperor Wu of Han was so large, many concubines had to wait in line for several years to see Liu Che.
The "Han Wu Story" also records such a sentence, saying that Liu Che once proudly claimed that I could not eat for three days, but I could not go without a wife for a day. The implication is that he can endure not eating for three days, but he must have a beautiful person in his arms every day.
Although "The Story of Han Wu" is a fictional and exaggerated novel, the rumors of Emperor Wu of Han's lust for sex are probably not empty, for example, he also created three idioms, and these three famous idioms are all related to female color.
When Liu Che was only six years old, one day his aunt Princess Tao of Guan held him to play in the palace, and the young Liu Che kept staring at the palace girls around him, and his aunt said to him: Is it okay to choose one from inside to be your wife?
Liu Che looked around and shook his head, and his aunt pointed to his daughter Ah Jiao and said, What about this? Liu Che immediately replied: If I can marry Ah Jiao, I must build a house with gold to hide her inside and treat her well, the original words are: If You have to be a woman, when the golden house is stored! Thus left the idiom "Kanaya Zangjiao".
There was a famous musician in the Western Han Dynasty, called Li Yannian, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty liked to listen to him sing very much, and once Li Yannian sang a new song, which had a lyric: Li Yannian has a beautiful person in the north, unique and independent, one gu to the city, and then to the country.
After Liu Che listened, his eyes lit up and he said to himself: Where can such a beautiful person who has fallen into the country and the city find it? The Princess of Pingyang on the side laughed after listening: This singing Li Yannian, his sister is such a beautiful person.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han soon summoned Li Yannian's sister to the harem, and the Li family also soared into the harem, leaving behind an idiom of "pouring the country into the city".
There is also an idiom allusion called "Yin Xing avoids the face", saying that Emperor Wu of Han had two favored concubines, one called Lady Yin and one called Lady Xing, and these two concubines liked to compete for wind and jealousy, in order to avoid contradictions after they touched, so Emperor Wu of Han set a rule not to let them meet.
Later, always feeling that his most beautiful Lady Yin really couldn't contain her jealousy and curiosity, she pleaded with Emperor Wu of Han to let herself see what charm Lady Xing really had, and Emperor Wu of Han had to let the two concubines meet, and after meeting, Lady Yin suddenly felt ashamed of herself and never met Lady Xing again.
Fortunately, although Emperor Wu of Han had a notoriety for lust, he was still a generation of Ming Emperors overall, and his sentence "Be sure to make the Four Directions Yidi dare not underestimate China" can still make people feel deaf and deaf after more than two thousand years.
