Emperor Wendi of the Han Dynasty was the fourth supreme ruler of the Western Han Dynasty,and also the founder of the prosperous literary era.He played a role of connecting the past with the future.During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Han Dynasty,the idea of gentleness,virtue,filial piety and punishment and authority was adopted to govern the country,and good results were achieved.This paper explores the political situation in the early Han Dynasty,the process in which Emperor Wendi inherited the throne from the dynasty to the emperor,the thought and practice of Emperor Wendi,and the causes and effects of the thought of Emperor Wendi in the Han Dynasty.At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty,the political aspect was that the different surname Wang Tai was too big to fall,the Huns' power developed rapidly,and the administrative organs were paralysed;in the economic aspect,the social production was seriously damaged,the material was extremely scarce,and the population was greatly reduced.After nearly 30 years of governance by Emperor Gaozu,Emperor Huidi and Emperor Lv,the situation has improved,but it is still not optimistic.When Emperor Wendi of the Han Dynasty came to power,the situation was very grim.Problems such as emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's Emperor' In order to solve these problems,Emperor Wendi of Han Dynasty adopted the ideas of gentleness,virtue,filial piety and punishment.After the recovery of social production to a certain extent,he continued to encourage the people to work hard,and strived to create a social environment conducive to the development of production.He took measures to persuade farmers and mulberries to teach classes,to give light taxes,to simplify administration and to commute prison sentences.He tried to be gentle and lenient in everything so as to govern the country with a gentle mind.At the same time,he not only requires people to obey the rule in words and deeds,but also in the heart.Therefore,he strengthens people's sense of virtue and filial piety,and makes people internalize "virtue" and "filial piety" in their hearts and externalize them in their actions.In order to meet the needs of rule,Emperor Wendi of Han Dynasty maintained a better social order by force,achieved national stability and effectively guaranteed the smooth implementation of his policy of governing the country.The three ideas and practices cooperate with each other and play an active role in creating a prosperous situation.Here are many reasons why Emperor Wendi of Han Dynasty adopted the thought of gentleness,virtue,filial piety and punishment.The most important reason is that when Emperor Wendi came to power,the political situation could only adopt the policy of quiet inaction and recuperation.Secondly,the formation of Han Wendi's thought of governing the country is closely related to his life experience and the suggestions of his relatives and ministers.Emperor Wendi's thought and practice of governing the country had an important impact,which was the main reason for the formation of the image of Emperor Wendi of Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty.
