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.
On the one hand, it strengthened the county system, on the other hand, it gave birth to a new system of selecting officials-procuratorial system. County system and procuratorial system are the institutional carriers for patriarchal clan system to gradually reduce its influence on politics. In addition, the laws enacted by the Han dynasty when it cracked down on princes.
Local forces have been effectively contained, which is no longer the verbal agreement of "not the king of Liu, but the world * * *" in the early Han Dynasty, and the strength and effect of cracking down on governors have been greatly enhanced.
The influence of the ruling policy in the early Han Dynasty
Administratively, it was in line with the people's desire to hate war and long for social stability in the early Han Dynasty, which promoted social stability, greatly increased the population, further strengthened centralization of authority and consolidated and strengthened its imperial status.

Ideology and culture: The Han Dynasty made Taoism occupy the mainstream thought in society, and the tolerant policy of the old Taoist quietism made the national ideological circle active, and Confucianism, Mohism, Legalists and other schools of thought contended again.
However, it has also brought many negative changes, such as: the restoration of people's power has led to the expansion of powerful forces, which has made the social land merger more serious and the polarization between the rich and the poor more and more prominent.
