The governance of Wenjing refers to the governance of the world during the period of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi in the Western Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, due to years of war and social and economic depression, the Han court greatly appreciated Huang Lao's ruling skills and adopted the policy of "being frivolous" and "sharing interests with the people".

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, people used their dissatisfaction with the incomplete legal system of the Qin Dynasty to conform to public opinion and carry out political reforms. In order to recuperate with the people, he adopted the ruling thought of doing nothing, which is the first time that Taoist thought has entered the room.

The Wenjing period continued the idea of governing by doing nothing in the early Han Dynasty, and all political measures were actually carried out around the idea of governing by doing nothing, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty gradually recovered. The relatively broad political atmosphere in Wenjing era was conducive to social and economic development and cultural progress at that time.

As a dialectical thinking method and wisdom, "governing by doing nothing" will also inspire the cultivation of brilliant governance. People can often find that in the real society, the wisdom of those talented politicians is often beyond the reach of ordinary leaders.

Therefore, in the increasingly fierce, complex and risky modern economic and political competition, we need that kind of brilliant political wisdom. Practice has proved that people who don't understand politics are often exhausted, but it is difficult to make a difference in leadership activities.

Of course, the so-called "inaction" of Confucianism cannot be simply understood. It seems that a ruler can govern by doing nothing, but it means that the ruler has superb leadership skills and is good at using power, and will not be overwhelmed, but can get rid of the complicated daily affairs. This is often said that a senior leader should be able to be detached.
