The policy of recuperation originated from Liu Bang in the early Western Han Dynasty. During Liu Bang's reign, he implemented a series of recuperation policies, aiming at maintaining the people's strength, increasing the population, restoring and developing the economy, and stabilizing the rule. His successors Wendi and Jingdi inherited this policy and further developed social production. Historically, the prosperous situation during the reign of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi was called the rule of Wenjing.

Liu Bang's recuperation policy mainly includes four aspects: returning to the fields after demobilization, persuading people to return to their hometowns, releasing slaves for the people, and paying fifteen taxes and one tax. Demobilization is to let soldiers go home to farm, and persuading people to return home is to persuade refugees to return home to produce. To release slaves for the people is to release slaves and make them free. One of the fifteen taxes is to reduce the land tax to one fifth.

With the implementation of these policies, the social economy of the Han Dynasty was rapidly restored and developed, the people's lives were improved, and the national strength was enhanced. Liu Bang's policy of recuperation had a far-reaching impact on the development of China's history, which laid the foundation for the later rule of Wenjing.
