What kind of emperor was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Is it good or bad?

Ban Gu basically affirmed the greatness of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. However, Zhao Yi's Notes on the Twenty-two Histories of the Qing Dynasty points out that there is still bias: "He greatly praised the literature of Emperor Wu, but said nothing about martial arts. I think the emperor's talent is roughly the same. He is fighting. " Regarding Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Guang in the Song Dynasty's "Zi Tong Zhi Jian" said from the perspective of neo-Confucianism, morality and historical view: "Emperor Wu's filial piety, heavy punishment, extravagant palace, foreign affairs, confusion and excessive patrolling made the people tired and thieves, so there are few people different from Qin Shihuang." However, if the Qin Dynasty perishes and the Han Dynasty prospers, filial piety can respect Wang Zhidao first, and knowledge can be unified, but the words of loyalty and frankness are bullied by the wicked. It is so expensive and tireless, and the punishment and reward are very strict. It's too late to change. This is caring for people. This is why it is Qin's loss and Qin's disaster! "Wu Yuchui's History of the Past Dynasties in the Qing Dynasty pointed out:" Song people exhausted China's financial resources, bribed and stole money; Causing strangers to be left-handed. Withdraw troops to cross the river, but make a mistake. What did Emperor Wu do? Can Song people discuss it? "That's a good question. From 140 BC, Emperor Wudi ascended the throne to his death in 87 BC, and he was emperor for 54 years. During his reign, Emperor Wu did five major things: First, he repelled the invasion of the Huns on the Central Plains, and the vast living space of the Chinese nation from south to north and from east to west. The second is to change the past and create a political system that is systematic and complete and reflects the Legalist school's "ruling the country according to law, not avoiding relatives and sparing money". This legal tradition became the basic paradigm of China's imperial system in the next two thousand years. Thirdly, Confucianism should be upgraded to the state religion, and a set of ideology based on the state and adapted to political rule should be established, so as to control the mainstream public opinion and set humanistic ideals and value standards for the elite (scholar-officials) and society. Fourthly, the patriarchal feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was completely abolished, and a new system of administrative bureaucracy, inheritance and talent promotion was established. Fifth, a far-sighted diplomatic strategy was formulated and designed, and the Han Empire became the political and economic axis of the subcontinent at that time through the martial arts of Wenzhi. In the history of China, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor with a world vision. Since 16 years old ascended the throne, his eyes have gone beyond the limited area of the Han Empire within the Great Wall and turned to the vast South China Sea and the Western Regions. Wu Yutai of A Qing Dynasty was the only one who talked about Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. His theory is very brief: "Liang Wudi is brilliant, but he doesn't know that conquering wastes people and money, and he wants to recover three generations of territory. I leveled the four barbarians, wanted to get rid of the future troubles, and did what I could, so I had the idea of who to give up. Therefore, the cultivation of the tired dynasty is both common and rich, advancing with the times, defending by war and defending by attack, and the Huns are gradually drifting away and weakening. As for Xuan, Yuan, Cheng and Mourning, Khan was a vassal, and the Han people were blessed by him. Temple name "sejong", just right! Emperor Wu's life, although many achievements, has always been unexpected in all his achievements. At first, I regarded literature as a way to win the hearts of literati, and later I regarded martial arts as a way to open the border town, but I still felt that it was not enough for a lifetime. Therefore, using chickens to send news to the temple, gathering golden people to stop slaughtering, lying on tiles to get horses, taking Tianma in Dawan, Suzaku in Bailin and Baoding in Paper Mill are all false gods to teach. As for boating on the sea, there are five meanings, and it doesn't matter if you want to live forever. Take the Wan Li Road, travel to and from the islands, build ships, teach water warfare, fly to Beihang, and scare North Korea. China Southern Airlines, Megatron Fujian and Vietnam, Erye. When Korea falls, Xiongnu's left arm will be broken, and the third one will be broken. The more peaceful Fujian is, the more determined it is to the east of South Vietnam. Moreover, because the western regions are connected, Yunnan is collected in the south, Wusun in the north, and the land is expanded by thousands of miles, while the giant valley in the east is limited. If you want to get overseas, you don't want Penglai. The East let the alchemist seek immortality, and the West let Wang Bo be hollow. How do you say this? We should seal off both the west and the east, five. But alchemists can't get its essence, so they always respect it and take sides with it, instead of giving it the right to be a relative, criticizing it repeatedly and not examining it. People say that Emperor Wu was bullied by the alchemist, but they don't know that the alchemist was bullied by Emperor Wu! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who achieved great success in the reform and restructuring, and he was a very talented and large-scale monarch. He is a sage who advocates knowledge in the academic field, and also a wise man who learns from time to time, is open-minded and meritocratic. The imperial edict of the first year of Yuanshuo said: I heard that heaven and earth remain unchanged and are not practical; Yin and yang remain the same, but things don't last. In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the imperial edict said: "The five emperors did not reciprocate, and three generations had different laws. "This shows that he is still seeking innovation and change until his later years. He always believes that as long as the situation changes, policies should be "different from time to time and urgent from time to time." "In the three years of Yuanguang, Dong Zhongshu wrote three essays, which are known as the Three Strategies of Heaven and Man. Emperor Wu summoned and asked, "Three generations have ordered it, but where is it? "? What are the reasons for the change of disasters? The feeling of life, whether it is heaven or longevity, or benevolence or disdain, is familiar with the same number, and it makes sense. If Iraq wants to be romantic, it will be treacherous, the people will enjoy it, and politics will publicize it. Why do you want the golden ... Deze flooding, and it will be extended to all students? "These questions he raised are all big questions with ontological strategies, which shows that this person has a broad vision. He asked Dong Zhongshu, as a philosopher, not to answer on the matter, but to talk about "the importance of Tao is extensive." This shows that he has deep thoughts on how to govern the country. What he explores and thinks is not the right to improvise, but the systematic historical philosophy and political philosophy. In his later years, he said to Wei Qing, "Everything started in the Han family, and four foreigners invaded China. I don't change the system, nor can future generations. If you don't crusade, the world will be uneasy. To this end, people have to work hard. If future generations did what I did, it would be a sneak attack on Qin. He believes that his policy of "promoting utilitarianism at home and being kind to foreigners abroad" is to establish a system and leave a model for future generations and national security. He admitted that his policy would disturb the people (working people); He doesn't want his descendants to imitate him and disturb the people's politics. He told them that they must be vigilant and avoid repeating the mistakes of the rapid death of the Qin Dynasty. Yan Bozan described Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "When it comes to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what kind of serious face does people think of? "In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a lively, naive and emotional person. Besides martial arts, he also likes traveling, music, literature and immortals. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the wisest commander in chief in the army, the most frequent tourist at sea, the original founder of the Royal Band, the most cordial friend of the litterateur, the most faithful messenger of the alchemist, and especially his best husband in Li Furen. He is by no means a fool who knows nothing but belligerence. " In my opinion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a truly great king who created the world. In his prehistory, his literary martial arts are unparalleled. His charming manners are unparalleled. His imagination makes politics an art. His contingency and intrigue made the wise men of his time look like fools. He is broad-minded, tolerant and discerning. He established a system, established a scale, respected academics, loved literature and art, and advocated governing the country by virtue and by law. I changed my mind after knowing it all my life and followed good advice, setting an example for emperors of one hundred generations. Later, Wei Wudi, Emperor Taizong, Ming Taizu, Nurhachi and Emperor Kangxi all seemed to see his shadow in their luggage works. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a wizard of strategic and diplomatic design, with great talent beyond history. This genius enabled him to strategize and win the battle of Wan Li above the temple, and his martial arts achievements were enough to eclipse Hannibal, Alexander, Napoleon and other generals in the west. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was by no means a supernatural saint. He is lewd, proud, vain, selfish, superstitious, extravagant and paranoid; He has almost all the weaknesses of ordinary human nature. However, even if he is not a king, but just an ordinary person, he should still be regarded as a man with indomitable spirit, a wise man with superior wit, a brave and resolute warrior, a poet with fresh literary talent, an artist with romantic and strange imagination, a prodigal son who broke the souls and spirits of countless beautiful girls, and a worst and best lover. He not only created the system and shaped the times, but also his achievements and actions were deeply rooted in the history and tradition of our nation. The name of the Han nationality comes from an era named after the Milky Way by him-"Tianhan". The territory developed in his time, from Fujian, Guangdong and Qiongya to Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, from Khotan Altai to Heijiliao, outlined the basic outline of the Chinese empire in the next two thousand years. The influence of this empire radiated from Chenghai, Congling and Hindu Kush mountains to the Korean peninsula. From Lake Baikal to India, it has expanded into a big cultural circle covered by China culture. Great men and geniuses are indescribable, incredible, difficult to measure by ordinary standards, and impossible to measure and evaluate by secular standards. Emperor Wu's life was full of contradictions. He loves the people like a son, and at the same time kills people like hemp. He used his sword as if with emotion, with emotion as if with soldiers. In the history of China, there are many heroes, great men, strong men, lofty ideals and saints. However, in any crowd, he will be equally conspicuous. You can't help admiring him, and you can't help being afraid of him-this is Liu Che. It is said that his birth was accompanied by his mother's dream that he was pregnant with a red sun. In his dream, his great-grandfather Liu Bang named him "Bo" (wild boar)-and his father explained that this word was homophonic with "wisdom", renamed him "Che" and gave him the name "Tong". And he is indeed a legendary man, wise and thorough. This is a real emperor of the sun and a great warrior in the history of China. His policies led to great changes in his times, which also caused great conflicts and debates, making him a controversial and even misunderstood figure. One of the biggest mistakes in his life was the unfortunate castration of one of the most talented and greatest historians in the history of China, and this man turned out to be the one who understood him best and admired him most at the same time. As a result, this person hates to punish him with a pen; This great era of his life and his life has become the most controversial era in history. And he, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has since become the most misunderstood and enigmatic king.
