Can the Han Dynasty be said to be a relatively enlightened and tolerant dynasty in ancient China?

The Han Dynasty can indeed be regarded as a relatively enlightened and tolerant dynasty in ancient times. In modern terms, the degree of tolerance of a country is judged by the country's attitude towards the elderly and women. In the Han Dynasty, a woman could divorce and remarry.

Moreover, during the reign of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he also abolished many of the harsh torture punishments of the Qin Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was not an exception, and the Tang Dynasty was also very tolerant.

For example, the second married daughter who is very famous in history: Wang Huan, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Before marrying Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Wang Wan had already married once and had a daughter.

However, Wang Wan entered the prince's east palace in such an capacity, and was loved by the prince, and then gave birth to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This behavior of the royal family actually played a certain leading role, so women in the Han Dynasty were allowed to remarry. In ancient times, when women's chastity was valued, this can be regarded as a kind of cognitive progress, at least women have one more choice.

During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there were many cruel punishments, such as corporal punishment and execution. These punishments are not only physical torture for criminals, but also hurt a person's psyche. This can be said to be a double torture.

Then, after the Han Dynasty, these punishments were abolished by law. Again, it represents a step closer to civilization for the whole society. After all, the progress of society as a whole does not happen overnight.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was also very enlightened, for example, during the reign of Wu Zetian, the status of women as a whole improved compared with before. For another example, during the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was one of the most prosperous cities in the world, and there were friends from all over the world. These are enough to prove that the Tang Dynasty was very enlightened and could accommodate different cultures.

In my opinion, the most beautiful customs are Song, and Tang Hanming can still see it. The chaotic Yuan Dynasty or something, don't imagine it anymore. After all, I'm also the one who has read Tokyo Menghualu, Xiaoting Miscellaneous and Xijing Miscellaneous.

The Han Dynasty was a relatively enlightened and tolerant dynasty in ancient China. Because of the continuous war, which led to a decrease in the population, the state encouraged childbearing, allowed women to marry twice, and abolished some of the torture established by the Qin Dynasty. But this was not an isolated case, and the Tang Dynasty was more open and tolerant.

I like the Han Dynasty never because of its high degree of civilization, and the initial period of a civilization is destined to be less enlightened and tolerant in the modern sense. But the vigor of its restrained savagery is still exciting after a thousand years.

I think so, because during the Han Dynasty, there was not so much emphasis on the superiority of men and the inferiority of women, and women were still very tolerated, and the status of women rose a little.

The Han Dynasty was very tolerant of women, women had a higher status, and they could marry for the second time without observing festivals, such as the talented girl Zhuo Wenjun, who was married for the second time, and she was brave enough to pursue happiness.

The Han Dynasty further established the national culture of the Han people (Huaxia), and the Confucian culture revered by the Western Han Dynasty became the mainstream culture of the Central Plains Dynasty and Southeast Asia at that time and in the future.

I think that's the fair to say. Because the status of women was improved during the Han Dynasty, the imperial court also encouraged childbearing and allowed women to marry twice, and at the same time abolished a lot of torture, and the ideology and culture were more open than before.
