Who will sum up the great achievements of Liu Che's life?

Strengthening centralization: In order to strengthen centralization, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Zhu's suggestion and issued an order for further studies, which allowed the king to distribute his land to his descendants and establish a smaller vassal state.

The new Marquis State broke away from the restrictions of the original kingdom, was geographically independent, and was basically deprived of political power and was under the jurisdiction of local county officials. In this way, the original independent local kingdom automatically handed over power to the state. After that, local kings and princes only enjoyed material privileges, that is, they enjoyed the tax on their fiefs. But without the previous political privileges.

Second, the military.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor in the history of China to send troops to the hinterland of Xiongnu for a decisive battle. A large number of immigrants settled in the northwest frontier counties, which played an important role in the victory of the anti-Xiongnu war and the governance of the western regions.

After Li Guangli conquered Dayuan, many countries in the southern part of the Western Regions surrendered to the Han Dynasty. In the second year of Emperor Xuandi (the first 60 years), the Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty day by day, but the Xiongnu did not dare to fight for the western regions, so they no longer served as a captain. Xuan Di appointed Ji Zheng as the commander-in-chief of the Western Regions, in charge of the southern and northern countries, and the western countries surrendered to the Han Dynasty. At this point, the direct access to the Caspian Sea in the west became the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Third, culture.

Culturally, Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting the Six Classics alone" was adopted. Liu Che was good at poetry and fu, and attached importance to cultural construction. For the first time in history, the government ordered the nationwide collection of books, which opened the way for book donation. The strategy of building a library, employing officials to write books, and all kinds of books have been widely filled in the secret room for decades, which is called "a mountain of books"

At that time, the collections of Taichang, Taishi and Doctor were all in the government library, and the palace had Yan Ge, Guangnei and Secret Room, with 33,090 books. The royal family and government have an unprecedented wealth of books. This is the first national library with clear records in the history of China.

Fourth, diplomacy.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, which opened up the Silk Road and promoted economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West. This is the first time in the history of China. Crops (cucumbers), beans, flax, pomegranate, carrots, grapes, blood horses, walnuts and alfalfa were planted in the Western Regions. A thoroughbred horse, Tianma, was introduced from Dawan, and music and magic from the Western Regions were introduced to China.

Technologies such as iron smelting, sinking, silk making and lacquer making were introduced from China, with the well drainage method as the leading canal, and then into China, Xinjiang and Persia. A large number of silk fabrics and metal tools from the Central Plains were transported to the Western Regions, and the cast iron technology and water well drainage methods were also spread to the Western Regions, which has important historical significance.

Extended data:

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is one of the most outstanding monarchs in China. He established the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and became the first development peak of the feudal dynasty in China. It also opened up a vast territory and laid the basic scope of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made unprecedented achievements, but the militarism and witchcraft disasters in his later years left a negative stain on him. However, he dared to face up to his mistakes and regained the national policy of stopping troops and helping the people in the early Han Dynasty, which laid the foundation for the revival of filial piety in the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty.
