2. Qin Shihuang (259 BC-2 BC10), the first unified dynasty in China, was the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao, son of Wang Xiang of Qin Zhuang, Han nationality. Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State (now Handan City, Hebei Province). In 247 BC, Qin ascended the throne at the age of 13. Because he was young, at the age of 22, he was crowned as an adult monarch in Yongcheng, the old capital, and began to "manage affairs personally" and got rid of it. From 230 BC to 22 BC1year, the six countries of Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi were destroyed successively, and the great cause of reunification was completed, and the first powerful centralized state with the early Han nationality as the main body-the Qin Dynasty was established. Xianyang is its capital. Qin thought that his contribution was better than that of the previous Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and changed the year number unanimously agreed by ministers to "Emperor". Qin Shihuang was the first monarch to use the title of "Emperor" in the history of China, which had a far-reaching influence on China and world history, and was praised as "the first emperor in the ages" by Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty.
3. Liu Che (157-87), the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was a national hero, a great statesman, strategist, poet and writer in the history of China. Han nationality. Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty is the tenth son of Emperor Wu Liu Qi, the grandson of Emperor Wu Liu Heng, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu Liu Bang and the great-grandson of Emperor Wu Liu Taigong. His mother, Queen Ting, became the King of Jiaodong at the age of 4, the Prince at the age of 7, and ascended the throne at the age of 16. She reigned for 54 years (BC 14 1- 87 BC) and established the most brilliant achievements of the Western Han Dynasty. Year of use: Jianyuan, Yuanshuo, Yuanguang, Yuanfeng, Yuanshou, Ding Yuan, Zhenghe, Hou Yuan and Taishi. Posthumous title's "filial piety" was buried in Maoling. The "Law of the Dead" says that "strength is strong, virtue is martial", which means majesty, strength and wisdom, and benevolence is martial. His great talent and literary skills made the Han Dynasty the most powerful country in the world at that time, and he became the great emperor in the history of China.
Emperor Wu created six "firsts"; First: the first emperor to unify his thoughts with Confucianism. Second: The first emperor who founded imperial academy to train talents. Third, the first emperor who vigorously expanded the territory of China. Fourth, the first emperor opened the western regions. Fifth, the first emperor to mark the era with the emperor's year number. Sixth: the first emperor to criticize himself in the form of remorse.
As the historical drama Hanwu the Great said: He built a country with unprecedented dignity; He gave a group the confidence to stand for a long time; His title has become the eternal name of a great nation. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created this title and was the first emperor in China to use it. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he continued the policy of preserving health and helping the people pursued by his father before his death, further weakening the power of the vassal, and promulgated the decree of feudal lords proposed by Minister Zhu, which promoted the enfeoffment of the vassal by the legal system and forced the vassal's fief to shrink itself. At the same time, he set up a secretariat to supervise this place. Militarily and economically, centralization has been strengthened, and private businesses such as iron smelting, salt making and wine making are organized and managed by the central government. At the same time, it is forbidden for vassal States to cast money, so that financial power is concentrated in the central government. He adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", paving the way for Confucianism to become a feudal orthodox position. But in fact, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was never a lack of the concept of the rule of law. At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also used laws and regulations to consolidate the authority of the government and show the status of imperial power. Therefore, sinologists believe that this should be a system with law as the mainstay and Confucianism as the supplement, introducing Confucianism to ordinary people to show the leniency of the government, and at the same time imposing severe criminal laws on ministers within the government. However, advocating Confucianism does not mean abandoning the law, which was still the ultimate ruling method in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The castration of Ji An and Sima Qian, who were actively used at that time, is a famous example.
The Spring Festival began at the beginning of the calendar change and was corrected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked Xiongnu three times on a large scale, sealing the wolf in a professional position. Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road. Since then, the western regions have become the meeting place of several major civilizations, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been called the "crown of hundreds of kings".
