Emperor Wen of Han

The rule of Wenjing The "Government of Wen and Jing" was a prosperous period in the early Western Han Dynasty when Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han were in power (approximately 180 BC - 141 BC). It was the first prosperous era in China. The background is that after the wars in the late Qin Dynasty and the recuperation in the early Han Dynasty, the rebellion of Zhu Lu was put down, and Liu Heng came to the throne to start the rule of the world. The core of the policy was to recuperate and govern by doing nothing, and implemented measures such as light corvee and low taxes (Emperor Jing set "Thirty taxes and one tax"), advocating frugality, encouraging agriculture, and stabilizing frontiers. The results were remarkable, including economic recovery, replenishing the treasury, doubling of the population, and social stability, laying the foundation for the prosperous era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was regarded as a model of ancient benevolent governance and was highly praised by "Historical Records".
