Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Qin Shihuang were collectively called "Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han" by later generations, and were evaluated as one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history. He employed talents regardless of their origins, so that a large number of famous officials and generals were cultivated and emerged during this period. He adopted the idea of ​​deposing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, which has become the mainstream thought in Chinese society to this day. He expanded the territory on a large scale, sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions, opened up the Silk Road, and ushered in the prosperous age of Han Dynasty. In his later years, his temperament was unstable, and he was also superstitious and suspicious, which led to the occurrence of witchcraft disasters, leaving a negative part in his generally positive overall evaluation. Faced with a serious social crisis, he issued the "Edict of Sin" to express his regret for his mistakes. Today, when we look at his records, we cannot deny that he is an outstanding figure. However, his achievements must still be judged in the long-term history. The most important point is that the situation he created cannot be continued by future generations.
