What measures did Emperor Wu take to accept Dong Zhongshu's suggestion?

The measures taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are as follows:

(2) Making changes from the past, including major reforms and creations such as the right to receive photos, the establishment of a secretariat, and the establishment of a clean government system. This legal tradition became the basic paradigm of China's imperial system in the next two thousand years.

Step 4 think

Adopt Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, oust a hundred schools of thought, respect Confucianism alone, make Confucianism the ruling ideology of China society, vigorously carry forward Confucianism, and set up imperial academy in Chang 'an.

Confucianism became the orthodox thought of China's feudal rule, which lasted for more than two thousand years and had a far-reaching impact on the politics, society and culture of China in later generations.

5. Personnel department

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also attached great importance to the cultivation of talents. He established an evaluation system, which is the origin of China's talent selection system and has a great influence on later generations.

The Background of the Unification of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty

At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he continued the policy of keeping in good health and helping the people that his father had carried out before his death, further weakened the power of the vassals, and promulgated the award decree proposed by Minister Zhu, which promoted the vassal's enfeoffment of scholars by the legal system and forced the vassal's fief to shrink itself. At the same time, he set up a secretariat to supervise local governments. Strengthen centralization, organize private businesses such as iron smelting, salt boiling and wine making into central management, prohibit vassal States from casting money, and centralize financial power in the central government.

Ideologically, the adoption of Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone paved the way for the special position of Confucianism in ancient China. Of course, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was no lack of rule of law in the Han Dynasty. While promoting Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty consolidated the authority of the government and showed the status of imperial power through laws and regulations and criminal law. Therefore, sinologists believe that this should be a system with Confucianism as the main body, supplemented by law, and Confucianism outside the law.

Through a series of policies to develop the economy and people's livelihood, such as preaching Confucianism and Taoism to the general public to show the softness of the government, and imposing harsh criminal laws on the government through the rule of cultural scenery to restrain the ministers' recuperation, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty has developed vigorously. While inheriting these policies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actively prepared to develop military forces. After he ascended the throne, he first put down the turmoil in southern Fujian and Vietnam. After that, we began to use military means, not humiliating pro-policies, to completely solve the threat of Xiongnu in the north.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were sent to attack the Huns on a large scale three times, taking over the Hetao area, seizing the Hexi Corridor, opening up the western regions, sealing wolves in Xu Xu, and pushing the northern territory of the Han Dynasty from the Great Wall to Yinshan or even beyond. At the same time of the Xiongnu War, we adopted peaceful and military means to bring western countries to heel. Wang Ting, the Xiongnu, moved to Mobei after losing the fertile and lush desert south area, and never recovered.

This basically solved the threat of Xiongnu to the Central Plains since the early Western Han Dynasty, and laid the foundation for later bringing the Western Regions into Chinese territory. Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and the Silk Road began. The Spring Festival began at the beginning of the calendar change and was corrected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
