In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the rulers learned the lesson of Qin's death and advocated "opposing the disadvantages of Qin and sharing interest with the people". Since Liu Bang's reunification, he has experienced scenes of filial piety, nobility and culture. During this period, the monarch and his subjects have been making good use of the skills of Huang Lao, ruling the country and keeping the country safe, and being generous. Therefore, the implementation of the "inaction" ruling skill related to people's livelihood became a major political feature in the early Han Dynasty. The ruler of the Western Han Dynasty, such as the famous emperor Wendi, was an emperor who believed in Huang Lao politics and rarely interfered in social life. We can see from historical records that some famous local officials in the early Han Dynasty, such as Cao Can and Ji An, were chiefs and ministers of the country, and they were only in charge of the overall situation. I took care of everything, regardless of trivial matters. I was very happy to drink at the yamen. As a result, the world was well managed, which was very good. Most of the Liu Bang Group came from the lower classes, and they were not interested in the sophistry and red tape of Confucianism. Only Huang Lao's quietism is more palatable. According to historical records, at the beginning of Tongchu, Liu Bangren announced the prohibition of laws, "Qin laws were excluded" ("Historical Records and Biography of Emperor Gaozu"). After the establishment of the Han regime, Liu Bang successfully used the skill of Huang Lao to promote the parallel system of counties and States throughout the country, with softness as the control and defense as the attack. The second time, the imperial forces with serious separatist tendencies were eliminated and their children were enfeoffed, so as to expand and consolidate the ruling foundation of the Western Han regime. Economically, the policy of "paying one tax every five years, measuring officials' salaries and using officials' expenses for the people" enabled the economy to recover and develop in the early Han Dynasty. Liu Bang's adoption of Huang Lao's technique of governing the country is also related to his great advisers Sean, Xiao He, Wang Ling's love for Huang Lao's technique. "Historical Records of the Prime Minister Chen Family" said: "When Chen was the prime minister, he was good at the skills of Huangdi and Laozi when he was young." "Historical Records Cao Shijia" said: "When you participate in the Han Dynasty, quiet words (today or no words) are all harmonious. But after the people left Qin Liang, they took part in the rest and did nothing. Therefore, the world calls it beauty. "

During Lv Hou's reign, the politics of Huang Lao, which originated from Liu Bang's recuperation, was further promoted. She abided by Liu Bang's important personnel arrangement will before his death, and continued to reuse Xiao He, Wang Ling and other founding heroes. And these ministers govern by doing nothing, conform to public opinion and never serve the people. Economically, light taxes are implemented. Implement a liberal policy towards industry and commerce. During the reign of Lv Hou, all fields including politics, legal system, economy, ideology and culture laid a solid foundation for "the rule of culture and scenery". "Han Shu" said: "When filial piety is high, the sea is separated from the Warring States, and both the monarch and the minister want to do nothing. Therefore, Hui Di dominates herself, and this high-ranking woman rules this country, and she never leaves home. However, the world is cold, the punishment is rare, and the people are well-fed and well-fed. " Biography of Historical Records of Lv Hou said: In the period of peace, "both the monarch and the minister want to rest and do nothing ... they can't leave the house".

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, as the acting king, inherited the great unification, and he paid special attention to trusting and relying on the important ministers of past dynasties. Therefore, Liu Bang's heroes Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Guan Ying, Zhong Tujia and others were successively appointed as prime ministers. Wendi was good at learning from Huang Lao and continued to carry out the policy of sharing interest with the people. The main methods are lenient punishment and free industry and commerce. "History of Customs" said: "The Emperor Wen is good at Huang Lao's words, but not at Confucianism, and his governance is still pure and inaction." The Book of Rites in Historical Records also said: "Filial piety is good." Emperor Wen of Han attached great importance to agricultural production, restored the pro-farming system before the emperor plowed in spring, issued imperial edicts for many times to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, and often issued imperial edicts to reduce the provincial rent tax. The land rent tax was reduced from fifteen to thirty, exempted for two years, and the corvee was reduced from January of one year to January of every three years. People are also allowed to worship God and make atonement. In addition, Wendi also issued a letter to open up land and forest resources, let the people cultivate, abolish the order of stealing money, and open up finance. Abolish the leftist law, the crime of libel and foul language, corporal punishment, etc. Wendi Deng's life is extremely simple. He wears coarse silk clothes himself, and his favorite clothes are not allowed to mop the floor (Chen Gongzhen, 200 1). Ban Gu once spoke highly of it: "He acceded to the throne with filial piety, bowed to Xuan Mo, advised farmers to plant mulberry, and reduced rents and taxes. Moreover, the generals are all old heroes, who talk less but talk more, punish evil and promote good, destroy Qin politics, discuss generously and shame people's mistakes. It is easy to change the customs of the world. The official of Ang Lee, folk music, has accumulated over the years. " (History of Chinese Criminal Law)

During Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty (16), Emperor Wen continued to implement the policy of developing agricultural production. When he was in office, he adopted the technique of Huang Lao's rule over Dou Taihou, practiced the politics of inaction, was interested in loving the people, recuperated with the people, and lightened the burden on the people. Persuade agriculture, increase population and open up wasteland as the criteria for assessing local officials; Set up "Tian Li" officials to persuade farmers; Implementing the policy of expensive millet to raise the price of agricultural products; After the garrison system was implemented, the garrison order was even cancelled for a time. We have also vigorously built water conservancy projects to promote agricultural production. After Emperor Jing adopted Chao Cuo's idea, he cut down the fiefs of the vassals, causing the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. Qiu Zhou Yafu led the army to put down the rebellion for three months. Since then, the central power has been consolidated, and the kings have no strength (2007).

Dou Taihou is the queen of Wendi. She was queen for 23 years, 16 years, and 6 years. In these 45 years, she praised Huang Lao's medical skills, and both Wendi and Du Jing were influenced by her. Dou Taihou has a rule that his son and Dou family are only allowed to read Laozi's Tao Te Ching, and nothing else is allowed. After her grandson Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he wanted to respect Confucianism alone and reuse Confucian scholars such as Dong Zhongshu. Dou Taihou was furious and forced Emperor Wu to dismiss some officials. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed in his first attempt to respect Confucianism alone. Sima Qian recorded: "Dou Taihou was kind to Huangdi and Laozi. The sinus of the emperor (Jingdi) and the prince (Wudi) had to read Huangdi and Laozi to respect their skills.
