He established a centralized monarchy and unified writing, currency, weights and measures. , consolidated the unity, promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between ethnic groups in various regions, and had a far-reaching impact on future generations; He expanded his territory through the unified war, making the Qin Dynasty the first unified and centralized feudal country in the history of China. The above shows that Qin Shihuang was an emperor who made great contributions to the history of our country and had great influence. But he was also a cruel feudal emperor. He built a large number of palaces and tombs, which wasted a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources and affected people's normal production and life. He also enacted a cruel criminal law, which made people live in dire straits; He burned books to bury Confucianism, stifled ideas and destroyed culture.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a series of measures to strengthen centralization, achieved great unity in politics, ideology, military affairs and economy, and entered its heyday.

Politically, Emperor Wu accepted Zhu's suggestion and ordered the kings to distribute their fiefs to their descendants to establish a smaller vassal state. Since then, the vassal States have become smaller and smaller, their strength has been weakened, and they are unable to confront the central authorities.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Dong Zhongshu's idea of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", and regarded Confucianism as feudal orthodoxy, rejecting all other thoughts.

Military aspect: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty organized a powerful cavalry unit, launched a large-scale counterattack against the Xiongnu, and seized the Hetao and Hexi Corridor, so that the Xiongnu could no longer confront the Western Han Dynasty, safeguarded national unity, and laid the foundation for peace in the Western Han Dynasty.

Economically, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collected the local right to coin and the right to operate salt and iron into the central government, and unified the casting of five baht, which restrained the profiteering of big businessmen, increased the central finance and realized economic unity.

8. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty vigorously promoted Confucian education, and established the imperial academy in Chang 'an (the highest institution of learning in ancient China), taking the Five Classics of Confucianism as the main teaching material and not learning the theories of other schools.

At that time, the powerful Han Empire ranked first in the world in politics, economy and culture.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he fought for years, built great buildings, was superstitious about ghosts and gods, abused cool history, exhausted his savings since Wen Jing, and aroused many national uprisings. However, in his later years, the Western Han Dynasty was able to turn the corner.
