Who do you think is better, Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Why?

Qin Shi Huang made the greatest historical contribution because he established the first centralized feudal state in Chinese history. The main merit of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was to fight against the Xiongnu and quell the civil strife, and established the concept of the Han Dynasty among foreign peoples, which continues to this day. There are no good or bad historical figures, we must look at them dialectically, and the results are different from different angles.

The contributions made are not the same and cannot be compared. Qin Shi Huang's martial arts were outstanding and unified China, which can be described as unprecedented. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led the Han Dynasty to the road to prosperity, although it could not be compared with the later Tang Taizong in terms of cultural governance.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first ruler to guide the Chinese Empire into a world power, which can also be said to be unprecedented, so the two cannot be compared.

Aside from the brutality, for the entire Chinese nation, Qin Shi Huang's contribution is greater, he realized China's first real unification, laid the Central Plains territory, and the future Chinese territory is based on this continuous expansion of derivation, and established the first ** centralized system, many political systems in the later dynasty are imitated by the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang is a well-deserved first emperor!! The front was all sub-feudal system, but in fact, they were all independent dynasties; The main contribution of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was to strike at the Xiongnu, get rid of the humiliation of peace and kinship starting from Gaozu, and create a good development environment for the Han Dynasty! But when it comes to fighting the Xiongnu, Qin Shi Huang's general Meng Tian threw 30w troops in only 10 years to make the Xiongnu flee 700 miles, the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend the bow and revenge!

The Han Dynasty was much inferior, and after several generations, it was not until Emperor Wu spent more than 40 years depleting the treasury and almost collapsing the economy that he completely defeated the Xiongnu!

I think it's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Of course, I personally think. There is a saying that the eyes of the masses are bright. Qin Shi Huang reigned for more than ten years, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was several decades. From this, it can be imagined that the people's livelihood during their reign was different.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it's up to me to decide the specifics.

In Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were both emperors who made great contributions to the Chinese nation, but they also brought a heavy burden to the common people, so later generations also had mixed evaluations of them. In favor"work"of people believe that sacrifice is a necessary condition for success, and evaluation"country"believe that the harm they have brought to the common people is catastrophic and cannot be easily erased with a single word. Sima Qian and Sima Guang, two famous historians, evaluated Qin Shi Huang as:

Sima Qian said that Qin Shi Huang had contributed to the Five Emperors, while Sima Guang said that Qin Shi Huang had poisoned the whole world. It is clear that everyone has a Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to identify with.

Every king known as the Emperor of the Ages had one accomplishment: to unify and integrate many nations. Qin Shi Huang put an end to the Warring States regime and laid a solid foundation for the development of the Chinese nation.

Subsequently, he attacked Baiyue in the south, not only expanding his territory, but also issuing an immigration decision on this basis, ordering hundreds of thousands of families and nearly a million people to move to Yue and marry with the Yue people. We often say that the land acquired may be lost, but when the blood of different nationalities is fused together, it is home, and it is true ownership. Qin Shi Huang allowed southern Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi to merge with various ethnic groups in the Suili shirt.

Similarly, on the basis of Qin Shi Huang's attack on Baiyue, Emperor Wu of Han annexed Baiyue in the south, annexing most of the area from Yunnan to Yunnan (collectively known as Jiaozhi). However, due to the lack of large-scale population migration, the following areas of Yunnan have repeatedly rebelled in Chinese history.

As well as the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, Emperor Wu of Han adopted a strategy of conquest. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they all belonged to the Han Dynasty. When the Han dynasty weakened, they all rebelled.

Although it did not belong at that time, it has to be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the rudiments of a unified Chinese territory. At the same time, the opening of the Silk Road also enabled the integration of the Han nationality with the ethnic groups in the northwest. In fact, in terms of the strategic landscape, on the surface, Emperor Wu of Han only considered immediate ownership, not the long-term ownership model adopted by Qin Shi Huang.

However, from a deeper perspective, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not unaware of the situation of population migration.

He may have taken other factors into account. After all, population migration required human and financial resources, and the Xiongnu in the Western Regions of Jiaozhi at that time were very desolate. Each period has its own factors, so we cannot say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worse than Qin Shi Huang.

Similarly, when it comes to immigration, the First Emperor can be praised for his decision to relocate millions of people, but you can also criticize him for being too ruthless and disregarding the lives of millions. Therefore, there are two sides to every factor.
