The merits and faults of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Qin Shi Huang

In the process of unifying the six countries, Qin Shi Huang laid a solid foundation for the establishment of a unified political, economic, and cultural feudal empire, put an end to the long-term situation of wars among princes, and completed the great cause of unification that had never been done before. It also shows its own strength and image, and provides a certain demonstration and reference significance for future generations in terms of national unity and resistance to foreign invasion. Of course, due to the limitations of the times and classes, Qin Shi Huang, as the monarch of the first feudal state, inevitably had many flaws and regrets.

For example, the construction of the Afang Palace on a large scale and the "burning of books and the pit of Confucianism" have already been judged by historiography and do not need to be elaborated. Future generations should learn from this, and this is also the significance of our comments on the merits and demerits of Qin Shi Huang.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were many talents, which was inseparable from his talent policy of establishing official schools, opening up official careers, paying attention to rewards and punishments, and awarding posts according to aptitude. The 54 years of his reign were a rare era of talent in Chinese history, with brilliant stars and each doing his best. They assisted the eloquent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and created immortal historical achievements.

In the late reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the continuous conquest, the conscription increased. He also built a large amount of construction, which cost a lot. In order to increase his income, he reused cool officials, increased taxes, and bankrupted a large number of peasants into exile.

In the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty (99 BC), peasant uprisings broke out in Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao and other places. In the face of a serious social crisis, he went down"Guilty of his own edict", which indicates remorse for the mistake. In the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (87 years ago), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died of illness, and the temple name was Sejong, Emperor Wu.

Today, when we look at his record, we cannot deny that he is a special figure; But his exploits will still be judged in the long course of history.

The most important point is that the situation he created cannot be continued by future generations. So when we read his biography, we must go up with"The rule of Wenjing"Accompany each other, and below"From Huo Guang to Wang Mang", and has an inseparable relationship with his life.
