During the periods of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, he advocated a wide range of benevolent policies, which mainly came from Confucius and Mencius. Confucius believes that only a wide range of benevolent policies can make the country strong and the people rich, and all countries will come to North Korea. The two emperors were also deeply influenced by Confucius and Mencius. During their rule, various severe criminal laws were abolished. Without the harsh criminal law, the people would naturally love the monarch, which laid the foundation for the prosperous period of Wenjing rule.
During the reign of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, in addition to abolishing all kinds of harsh criminal laws, they also attached importance to agricultural development, because when the Han Dynasty was just established, the people basically did not have enough to eat, and even went into famine. This situation has not been effectively improved during the reign of Emperor Wendi of Han Dynasty, so they began to attach importance to agriculture, giving certain rewards to those engaged in agriculture and allowing people to buy titles with food. And Han Jingdi later inherited the legacy of Han Wendi. Vigorously publicize the policy of attaching importance to agriculture and enriching the people, even when dying, do not forget to give orders, and those who do not attach importance to agriculture should be severely punished. It was this benevolent policy that made the economy of the Han Dynasty develop rapidly and created many favorable conditions for the formation of cultural rule.
In addition, when the Western Han Dynasty was just established, the rulers learned from the experience of previous dynasties, practiced thrift, set an example and advocated the concept of thrift. However, under the influence of the emperor, those princes and ministers did not dare to be extravagant, thus reducing the burden on the people and reducing the unnecessary expenses of the country.
So generally speaking, during the reign of Wenjing, the social economy basically reached unprecedented prosperity, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment. Besides, without severe punishment, the people supported the king more.
