In the early Han dynasty, the rulers adopted a policy of recuperation, reduced the tax burden of corvees, made great efforts to develop agricultural production and consolidated feudal rule. In Wenjing two generations, this policy continued to be vigorously promoted, thus promoting the rapid development of social economy.

The continuation and development of the recuperation policy in the early Han Dynasty made China the first official. During the Wenjing period, more enlightened politics and the consolidation of dictatorship laid the political and material conditions for the reunification of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, the land tax rate was reduced to "one fifth tax" by law. When Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, he ordered that "the land rent be reduced, and the latter fifteen taxes will be paid". It can be seen that during the reign of Emperor Gaozu in 12, the tax rate was raised in the later period due to the national financial needs. However, after Hui Di ascended the throne in the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu, the original tax rate was immediately restored, thus maintaining the 15th tax rate, even when Lv Hou was in power.

During the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, the rate of land rent was further reduced, and it was taxed according to "30 taxes and one tax". This is the period of the lowest land tax rate in China feudal society, and it will not change in the future.
