The Governance of Cultural Landscape in English
The rule of Wenjing refers to the political, economic and military aspects that appeared during the reign of Emperor Gaozu Liu Heng and Emperor Wudi Liu Qi. Agricultural production gradually recovered, and the people were cultivated and lived. How did they create the rule of Wenjing from the political, economic and military aspects during their reign? Specifically, in politics, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han praised the skill of Huang Lao, attached importance to reforming the people with morality, and reduced the punishment to stabilize internal rule; Economically, reducing taxes, allowing people to invest money, so that people have more living space, thus promoting the smooth operation of the national economy and people's livelihood; On the military side, Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi pursued a military strategy of stabilizing the border and promoting the people's real border.

Politically, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty praised the skill of Huang Lao, attached importance to educating the people with morality, and reduced punishment to stabilize internal rule. At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang made great efforts to enfeoffment princes, and enfeoffment some distinguished heterosexual kings to important military fortresses. Later, he attacked them in the name of Liu instead of the king of the world, and enfeoffment princes with the same surname in the local area, thus greatly strengthening the power of princes and causing the chaos of the seven countries in the later period, although the chaos of kings was caused by the Han Dynasty. In view of this, in politics, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han praised the skill of Huang Lao, and advocated the policy of doing nothing and keeping the people safe.

For the princes who learned from the past, the method of gradually reducing the princes was adopted. During Han Jing's reign, he split powerful vassal states, many of which had only one county left, and the rest were owned by the central government. He also directly withdrew the right to appoint and dismiss the officials of the original country from the central government, which greatly strengthened centralization and ensured the internal stability of the court. In the aspect of criminal law, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty also changed the strategy of severe punishment, and revised some unreasonable points in the criminal law formulated during the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, which further highlighted the looseness and fairness of laws in Han Dynasty.

Economically, reducing taxes and allowing ordinary people to make money privately have promoted the smooth operation of the national economy and people's livelihood. In the second year and twelfth year of Emperor Wendi, Emperor Wendi halved the land rent twice, which greatly reduced the burden on farmers from the previous "fifteen taxes and one tax" to "thirty taxes and one tax" and gave them more living space. Tax reduction can stimulate people's enthusiasm for life and production. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it, and people's hearts are stable. With producers, the national economy will naturally develop slowly.

In the fifth year of Emperor Wendi, Emperor Wendi ordered the abolition of the order of stealing and casting money, so that people could cast money, greatly reducing the burden on the state to cast money, speeding up the quantity and circulation speed of money in the Han Dynasty and greatly promoting the economic development of the Han Dynasty.

Militarily, when Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi carried out the military strategy of stabilizing the border and maintaining the people's real border, the Xiongnu still invaded the frontier of the Han Dynasty and even invaded the northern frontier many times. However, when asked about restoring national strength, Wen Dihe did not launch a war against the Huns, but adopted a friendly strategy to stabilize the frontier in a gentle way.

Wendi and Jingdi did not blindly tolerate the invasion of Xiongnu, but implemented the policy of recruiting people to build cities in border areas, recruited mainlanders to move to border areas, distributed farm tools and food to them, and conducted military training, paying great attention to the strength of border people, thus achieving the role of resisting the invasion of Xiongnu.

To sum up, it is precisely because Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi stabilized the country politically, shared weal and woe with the people economically, promoted production in production, and stabilized the frontier militarily that the later government accumulated grain and put it in storage, and the money and grain broke the money rope.
